Prijon is a German company and they make some great kayaks, especially for newer paddlers. Prijon makes the absolute strongest and highest quality plastic boats in the world. The Calabria was one of their best boats for folks looking for a solid hybrid boat that’s short enough to be stored and transported easily. It’s fairly maneuverable on the water but also tours well and is quite fast for being relatively short at 14.5 ft. The reason it is so stable is how the bottom is shaped. Has the rudder and float bag in the bow in front of the foot pegs too.
