Greenlandic Elegance in a High-Performance Folding Kayak
The Nautiraid Nook is a single-seater folding kayak that seamlessly blends the traditional elegance of Greenlandic kayaks with modern folding technology and exceptional on-water performance. Measuring 545 cm in length and 51 cm in width, the Nook is engineered for speed, precision, and control—perfect for advanced paddlers aiming to master traditional techniques such as rolling, Balance Brace, and Butterfly Roll.
Its low profile and sleek lines make this kayak extremely dynamic, offering minimal wind resistance and an impressively smooth glide. Weighing only 19.5 kg, the Nook features a wooden frame that can be easily assembled in just 15 minutes. Thanks to its compact size, it fits into a single carry bag measuring 155 x 46 x 15 cm, making it ideal for car transport or travel.
The ergonomically designed cockpit, with external dimensions of 71.5 x 43.5 cm and an internal space of 64 x 37.5 cm, ensures comfortable entry and a natural seating position. The maximum load capacity is 110 kg. The kayak's skin is made from durable PVC, ensuring resistance to wear and long-term use, even in challenging conditions.
With its aesthetic paying homage to classic Greenlandic kayaks and a name that subtly references the 1922 documentary film Nanook of the North, the Nautiraid Nook is more than just a kayak—it's a tribute to the origins of kayaking. Whether you're seeking a refined paddling experience or a lightweight, quick-to-assemble folding kayak for solo adventures, the Nook delivers on all fronts.
