The Assateague offers the larger to XXL sized paddler the comfort they need to spend hours in their kayak. Since its debut two years ago it has become the top choice of larger paddlers around the country. The key is our larger cockpit opening and comfortable yet simple outfitting. By increasing the size of the cockpit, not the mid ship, we allow for easy exit and entry while keeping a tight fit for control. At 17'10", we are able to offset the 22.5" width to allow for cleaner gentle lines. This allows for more speed, so covering the longest distance will be a snap in this well outfitted, easy to paddle Greenland style kayak. 3 rubber hatches keep gear dry and below deck while the compass recess waits to get us home through the darkest of fog banks. Tied together for strength and maximum dryness with 3 fiberglass bulkheads, the Assateague is ready to take on any water condition from morning glass to 10-foot seas.

In 2004, the design team at Impex Kayaks found inspiration while reading about and talking to paddlers who have taken part in and are planning numerous long distance kayak expeditions. Maximum efficiency must be the focus to succeed on these trips, with long hours of paddling and back-to-back days on the water. Yet without the stability and nimble feel of our performance touring kayaks, that extra efficiency would be wasted as the conditions and fatigue increased. Compromises needed to be made to design a kayak that would round out our ling with a solid long distance touring kayak. As we researched a plan, we realized that it was not just the hardy expeditioner that desired a more efficient, faster hull. Although many paddlers want the diversity that our Performance Series offers, still others, day paddlers and most modest expedition paddlers alike, desire the same increased efficiency as the marathon paddlers. Our aspirations were high; so we did not allow changes in designs and eventual slow downs in the debut sidetrack us from our path for greatness. With hard work and input from many, the Force is a proud addition to our line and will have a place in paddling trips of every size for years to come.
The key difference in the design of the Force versus our popular Performance Touring Line is the decreased rocker. Rocker, the amount of bend in the hull length wise from bow to stern, affects how a kayak will behave. The rocker in the Performance Touring Line offers a great balance of speed and maneuverability, giving the kayaks great diversity for the paddler who does in all. Enough speed and efficiency to take on the longer trips but the agility to maneuver in tight spaces or in big swells. For the paddler wanting increased speed and efficiency and willing to work harder for maneuverability, the hull of the Force has decreased rocker. Although we still used our trademark shallow V hull for maximum primary stability, we did combine a narrower beam and more aggressive medium chine to allow for increased turning ability in a long sleek kayak. The unique chine design offers more bite on edge, but unlike a true hard chine, does not get easily tripped up as wind and wave conditions increase. The Force paddles well with a load on and allows ample storage space for the longer trips or for the paddler still learning how to best utilize space. As in all of our kayaks all composite seams and bulkheads keep kit dry and your kayak protected from the torque and stress of high demand paddling. Other features include a longer cockpit opening to allow for easy entry and exit when challenged by advanced rescues and uneven or wave washed landing zones. A deep paddle channel behind the lowered rear cockpit rim allows for a stable paddle platform while performing rescues. See specs and features below for more data on this kayak.
Following in Impex Kayaks tradition we are confident that one size does not fit all. The Force, in sizes Category 3, Category 4 and Category 5 offers a kayak for a wide variety of paddler sizes.

Hull Design
Shallow V: Primary stability is the key to comfortable paddling, whether slowing down to relax and take in the sights or coming out of a protected bay into the wind and swells. Although the Pro Tour series has a narrower beam to increase responsiveness, our standard shallow V hull gives paddlers more primary stability. This gives paddlers the ability to push their limits with confidence and comfort no matter what their skill level.
Rocker: All Greenland style kayaks will have increased rocker, this is what gives these boats the versatility that makes them special. However the Pro Tour Series drops the rocker out to a minimal level. Still allowing for comfort and control in large waves and tight rocky shorelines, but with the maximum focus on efficiency and speed for long distance touring. Although it may take more edge control to make these kayaks turn, the compromise pays dividends at the end of the longest paddling days.
Chine
Aggressive Medium: Impex Kayaks tries out some new terminology. A Medium Chine allows the kayak to have excellent secondary stability while edging the kayak, maintaining the comfort and stability that we all demand. This design allows the paddler to edge the boat confidently to obtain a fast turn, without the potential of tripping over hard chines, especially in bigger water and high winds. With the lower rocker profile of the Pro Tour Series, to increase efficiency, we needed to be creative to keep the kayak maneuverable and solid on edge in the rough conditions it was designed for. Hence, the Aggressive Medium. Harder than what we use on out Performance Tour Line, this design allows for more bite on the water for tighter turns. This along with the narrower beam does wonders to get this flatter rockered 18 footer coming around more quickly and gliding gracefully down wave faces. The chine is however not a true hard chine, keeping water flowing smoothly and keeping the kayak more stable on edge, especially in beam seas.

We are proud to introduce for the first time in composite lay up, the Outer Island. Designed in 1995, by paddler designer Jay Babina, with performance, rolling ability, low windage and speed as the main criteria. At 18 feet long, only 21 inches wide and with very little hull rocker, it has loads of speed for touring. Its low rear deck makes her a perfect fit for the beginner to advanced Eskimo roller. Soft chines allow for graceful control between steady primary and secondary stability. Allowing for increased success even when perfecting the most challenging of Greenland rolls and braces. Whether you love this kayak for its sheer elegance, a fast touring kayak or a rolling machine, we promise you will love it.

Rocker: The flatter rocker of the Outer Island is what gives this kayak its amazing hull speed. Harder to turn in the tight spots due to the stiffer hull, it is certainly a compromise. However as your skills grow the Outer Island comes around with grace and you can never say enough about the speed.
Chine
Soft: A Soft Chine, while still giving excellent stability on edge, allows for smooth transition from primary to secondary stability. It is this trait that allows for this kayak to be such an easy kayak in which to practice and master even the hardest traditional Greenland braces and rolls.

Let's face it, Impex is a sea kayak company. We weren't going to stray far from our roots. The Irie offers a class of kayak we call, "Sea- Rec." Stability is the key here, and at 24" wide it gives paddlers of any ability a comfortable ride. The shallow V hull and tapered bow gives the Irie the same smooth ride as our more performance oriented sea kayaks. Even with the standard rudder for easy maneuvering, the Irie weighs in at a mere 40lbs. Comfort and support are provided by the "High Riser" back band by Immersion Research. For the paddler not concerned by performance this back band will certainly give the best option in comfort and support. For the ultimate in light weight and simplicity we offer the Irie Basic. Offering the same great comfort and paddling ability, the Irie Basic just leaves the rudder behind - saving a few valuable pounds and leaving a few dollars behind to enjoy the laid back vibe. Have an Irie day.

Chine
Using a multi hard chine we pick up the stability we lose by giving the Irie a shallow V in the hull. Everyone knows the most stable of boats, like a Jon Boat, use flat hulls. The problem there is that we don't intend on putting a motor behind our kayak to propel it, we plan on doing that with a paddle. The Shallow V gives a kayak the best stability while maintaining efficient paddling, let is still not as stable as a flat bottom. By adding the stability of the multi chine we now have a great combination of stability and efficient paddling.

Lightweight and simple is the key to this little boat's success. For smaller paddlers this kayak offers the same efficient hull as the Gale, yet without the added weight and expense of a front bulkhead and hatch or skeg. Keeping this kayak down to only 38 pounds allows many smaller paddlers the ability to be independent in carrying and loading their kayak. Still keeping the comfort of our "Points of Contact" Outfitting this boat is not a cheap kayak, just a simple, more modest version of our Performance Line boats. For those paddlers where strong wind keeps their boats on the shore and an expedition is once around the closest island on the pond, the Sea Breeze could be the right choice.

"The more the merrier"
Who ever came up with this famous quote was certainly onto something. There is something to be said for being able to share with friends, family and loved ones something we are so passionate about. Like the rest of our line we have come up with an easier to paddle and handle double. There are several great expedition doubles out there, so why try and clutter things with another version. Short, narrower and certainly lightweight, the Temiskawa allows more people to enjoy the benefits of Tandem paddling on a less than expedition size trip. By no means turning our backs entirely on tripping, we do offer over 9000 cubic inches of storage capacity, however we feel the 86-pound weight and short 19 feet 8 inches will be the stats that appeal to our customers. Although shorter, at only 25.5 inches wide there is an efficient water line that moves along well and keeps its hull speed even with paddlers of different strengths and during alternating paddler rests. As in most doubles the length and width make it difficult to turn with leaning and paddle strokes. To accommodate easier maneuverability we use the benefit of a foot controlled rudder system, for easier paddling. Impex Kayaks has worked hard to create a unique line of kayaks, we feel the Temiskawa is a great fit for those who don't see the need for alone time.
