Description
The Mission Glide 420 is a recreational day tripper. It combines the strength and stability of a sit-on-top kayak, with the speed, efficiency, and comfort of a traditional touring kayak.
The Glide 420 seat is shaped to fit your body, allowing for good paddling performance. Although the long waterline gives the kayak more speed and straight tracking for novice paddlers, the hull shape still has plenty of stability, rocker, and volume to make for easy control in surf. You get a smooth, stable, and fast ride, even in choppy conditions.
With plenty of storage space and comfortable seats, the Glide 420 is great for long distances and the occasional overnight trip.
