The Necky Manitou 14 retains the stability and comfort of its shorter siblings while helping you advance your paddling skills. With a retractable skeg to improve tracking, it delivers performance that will satisfy even hardcore paddling enthusiasts. You won't outgrow this kayak anytime soon. New for 2010 is the ACS (Active Comfort System) Seat. The ACS seat base is comprised of a tri-laminate (similar to a running shoe). This construction provides support where you need it and softness where you want it. "Fingers" on seating surface move with your body as you paddle providing all day comfort, breath-ability and drainage.
