Nortik scubi 1 XL – The Ultimate All-Round Hybrid Kayak
A true hybrid kayak for every adventure
The nortik scubi 1 XL is a cutting-edge 1-person hybrid kayak that seamlessly combines the strengths of a folding kayak with the simplicity of an inflatable. Designed for both beginners and experienced paddlers, it offers outstanding stability, excellent tracking, and quick assembly. Thanks to its lightweight aluminum frame and high-pressure air chambers (up to 0.35 bar / 5.07 psi), this kayak delivers exceptional performance on the water with minimal setup effort.
Spacious design for taller paddlers
At 380 cm in length and 80 cm in width, the scubi 1 XL provides plenty of room, even for taller users. The extra-large cockpit (245 x 50 cm) ensures easy access and freedom of movement. For those seeking added protection, an optional spraydeck with a rigid coaming allows for a secure spray skirt installation. A rudder system can also be added for improved control during longer tours.
Fast setup, easy transport
The kayak sets up in approximately 10 minutes, making it one of the fastest-to-assemble hybrid kayaks on the market. Weighing only 12 kg, it is extremely portable and fits easily in its included backpack-style carry bag (85 x 55 x 22 cm when packed). No car, roof rack, or trailer needed – just hop on a train, bus, or walk to your launch point. It’s kayaking made simple.
Durable build with reinforced keel protection
The scubi 1 XL is built with a tear-resistant PVC/PU skin and a black anodized aluminum frame, ensuring longevity and durability even in tough conditions. Its unique foam-padded keel protection system, along with an exterior welded keel strip, safeguards the hull from abrasions and impacts, making it ideal for a wide range of water conditions.
Comfortable suspended seat and secure fit
The kayak comes pre-equipped with a comfortable suspended seat, along with thigh straps and fixed side supports, providing excellent paddling ergonomics and added stability. The elevated seating position allows for a more relaxed leg posture than traditional hard-shell kayaks – perfect for longer trips.
Customizable with premium accessories
To enhance your paddling experience, the scubi 1 XL is compatible with a wide range of accessories, including the nortik allround or tour carbon paddle (available in 2 or 4-piece versions), spraydeck with rigid coaming, nylon or thermal PU spray skirt, rudder system, and hatch cover – all designed to maximize comfort and performance while remaining highly portable.
Ready for any trip, anytime
With a max load capacity of 130 kg, this kayak is ready to carry both you and your gear. Whether you're exploring calm lakes, meandering rivers, or coastal inlets, the nortik scubi 1 XL adapts to your needs. The compact pack size and ultralight construction make it the perfect companion for spontaneous adventures and minimalist travel.
