P&H Virgo Composite Sea Kayak
The Composite Virgo takes P&H's best-seller of the last 2 years running and makes it even better; more responsive on the water, more efficient, and weighing as little as 16kg, meaning it's an easy choice for anyone who wants to upgrade from a plastic Virgo, or jump straight into composite in a design they can be sure of.

A V-hull cuts cleanly through the water and tracks beautifully but softens towards the centre of the boat for comfortable stability and easy release.
Moderate rocker allows the Virgo to pick up and carry speed efficiently when flat but swing around effortlessly on edge.
Hard chines engage for carving performance when edging into the turn.
A moderately steep bow ensures a high proportion of the length acts as effective waterline for hull speed.
Flared bow edges give a dry ride through choppy water and lift the boat over waves on the paddle out from the shore.
Carefully planned bow deck geometry provides stiffness and strength for deep water rescues.
Functional details such as split paddle recesses, a drop-forged, anodised aluminium security point, a paddle park, and a full complement of deck lines and bungees.
P&H's famously comfortable, highly-adjustable and reliable Connect outfitting.
