The Eliza series is designed to fit and perform for smaller paddlers (up to 150 lbs), these boats are ergonomically designed around a woman's hip and leg physiology, and overall body proportion. The low aft deck offers optimum room for sculling, rolling, surf ability, and bracing. They are designed from the start with an exceptional balance of glide, maneuverability and reduced drag from frictional resistance and wind. So to sum it up: the Eliza is quintessentially the best kayak on the market for women to paddle efficiently, with less effort, less resistance, and less energy.
