The Piave is a compact, lightweight (24Kg), stable double seater touring kayak. It is an agile and light weight double seater with excellent riding qualities. The Piave offers ease of lifting and carrying on land and is highly manoeuvrable in the water. On the water, the Piave impresses with its good straight-line tracking and a high degree of manoeuvrability and tipping stability. This is the ideal double kayak for navigating bays, lakes and rivers. The undisputable Italian build quality is evident and clearly sets this craft aside from cheaper composites originating from elsewhere in the world.
