Kayak Sport Canada - Masters Kayaks (2024)

Falcon Q-Master
Ultra $4695; Extra $3895; Super$3695; Classic $3395

A modern and versatile K1 with sleek lines but wider beam and slightly rounded center section designed to reduce wobble giving a welcome stability boost. Very popular for paddlers with a flat water racing background. Using this kayak Masters paddlers can feel the freedom to paddle with comfort, confidence and powerwithout significantly reducing their speed. The model is also a great intermediate choice for paddlers looking to progress to today’s top racer K1s - or for a club with many such paddlers.

The boat is both constructed and equipped just like a regular racing K1, but a low 2-pin seat for maximum stability is also available to choose.

With same specifications the Falcon Q-Master is also available in a higher (XL) volume for the heavier paddler between 85 and 110 kg.

Revo 44
Ultra $4695; Extra $3895; Super$3695; Classic $3395

The Revo 44 is a modern & streamlined fast fitness or very stable racing K1 kayak for heavier paddlers. It is a great and steady platform for both developing and mature experienced kayakers.

The Revo 44 will definetely remind Master paddlers of classic K1 shapes. With a remarkably sharp bow and V-ed hull shape, it is very efficient under the waterline, both in terms of acceleration, maintaining speed, tracking and longitudinal stability. On the other hand, due to its flatter midship & low profile aft, this sleek craft proves not just in flat water but also handles smaller downwind conditions.

L: 17' (5.20m), W:17.3" (44cm), Wt: 26-32lbs (12-14.5kg)
Athlete Wt: 80-110kg

Master Speed 44
Ultra $4695; Carbon $3895; Carb-Kevlar $3695; Standard Plus $3150; Standard $2995

The Master Speed 44 has a moderately V-shaped forward and a buoyant, deep & rounded midship (center section), making the boat perform well in a wide range of conditions. It is particularly advised for strong built and experienced fitness paddlers in choppy waters where typical race kayaks become hard to handle and an extra stability boost is needed to put the power down with confidence.

High profile front deck provides ample leg & foot space for tall paddlers. The rudder is placed a bit further from the stern to keep the steering ability with a heavier paddler. Though the boat seems robust at first glance, it has a remarkable turn of speed and also maintains a nice cruising speed.

L: 17' (5.20m), W:17.3" (44cm), Wt: 26.5-33lbs (12-15kg)

Stability rating: 4/10

Paddler weight: 85-120kg

Master 46
Ultra $4695; Carbon $3895; Carb-Kevlar $3695; Standard Plus $3150; Standard $2995

With definite speed and sharpness this model is recommended for aspiring and ambitious medium and light weight athletes looking for a greater challenge, or on the contrary, for those who want to enjoy flat water kayaking without the nervous wobble of top race K1s. Due to its versatile use and nice handling the Master 46 is favourable for club use.

Sharp forward sections give an excellent turn of speed, however optimal performance and stability can only be kept with focus, correct balance and even paddle strokes. This could take time and effort to master, but it's definitely worth it.


L: 17' (5.20m), W: 18.1" (46cm), Wt: 24-31lbs (11-14kg)

Stability Rating: 5/10

Paddler weight: 50-80kg

Master 51
Ultra $4695; Carbon $3895; Carb-Kevlar $3695; Standard Plus $3150; Standard $2995

The Master 51 is a touring and fitness kayak with a classic design. It is great for long tours on calm water, where lower angle paddling technique is used and its flat rear deck is an advantage.

L: 17' (5.20m), W: 20.1" (51cm), Wt: 26.5-33lbs (12-15kg)

Spirit 51
Ultra $4695; Carbon $3895; Carb-Kevlar $3695; Standard Plus $3150; Standard $2995

The sharp V-shaped bow section has the substance of a race kayak, while flattened hull shape at seat position provides comforting initial stability. Compared to other kayaks with similar width the Spirit 51 is clearly smoother and more efficient in the water offering a truly competitive edge. After the rapid gain of confidence, the ultra-sharp bow and sleek appearance encourage good posture, paddling technique and the ability to flourish in general.

The Spirit 51 is produced in one size that is suitable for a wide range of paddler weights

L: 17' (5.20m), W: 20.1" (51cm), Wt: 26.5-33lbs (12-15kg)

Spirit 55
Ultra $4695; Carbon $3895; Carb-Kevlar $3695; Standard Plus $3150; Standard $2995

The balanced hull gives predictable handling qualities and high initial stability at all speeds, conditions and over a large load range, making the boat a great option for all beginners to gain confidence. On the other hand the flattened midship and stern sections keep a low volume and a hull area similar to a slimmer fitness model. This makes the Spirit 55 not just stable but quite efficient and never too bulky.

Modest freeboard and flat rear deck let us install hatches of different size & deckfittings such as bungee cords or carry handles.

Para versionof the Spirit 55 is available as the model meets paracanoe standards in "K1" boat class. This also includes the specially designed paracanoe seat and a manual rudder cord locker.
