We have used Insomniac Racing Kayaks in all of our adventure races since 2005, when they first hit the market.Their sharp entry lines and long waterline length make the Insomniac kayaks a match for any other AR double for flatwater speed. The sleek nose has proved very effective for surf beach launches, allowing us to punch through breaking waves and maintain our momentum. In open water the Insomniac has proven to have very good stability and has handled large ocean swells and choppy water easily, catching lifts well in trailing seas.
The Insomniac kayaks have proven to be excellent adventure racing doubles with easy storage for compulsory equipment. They are competitive in all conditions and stable enough for every level of paddler. A good choice for teams looking for a competitive edge as well as those wanting something with a bit more speed than the “old barge” that won’t tip them into the drink!
