After numerous requests for a 'rolling
kayak' we have produced the DIRK (Dedicated Inuit Rolling Kayak). The DIRK is a reduced-volume
Greenland kayak specifically designed for eskimo roll training, instruction, and
competition.
It is not designed as, outfitted as, nor recommended as a general-use touring
kayak.
As shown in the photo at the left, the BBK standard-size cockpit rim
is recessed into the rear deck for a total rear deck height of <6.5".
The overall length is 15'11" and about 20" maximum beam.
The DIRK is available only in fiberglass construction with white gelcoat finish,
and includes front and rear bulkheads, minicell seat, 6" deck plates in fore
and aft compartments, KEEPERS footrests, toggles and front deck paddle loops.
