P&H Leo MV and HV (w/ skeg)

P&H Leo MV and HV (w/ skeg)


Introduction

The Leo is a versatile, 4 hatch, skeg cruising sea kayak with superb initial and progressive secondary stability, ample gear storage options, full deck lines and bungees, and an extremely comfortable cockpit with plenty of room to stretch your legs as you take on longer journeys or travel between play spots along a coastline. The Leo is available in two sizes: MV and HV


Description

Leo is a stable, light, stiff, forgiving sea kayak that is at home on everything from coastal tours to short expeditions. Stable enough to introduce beginning paddlers to kayak touring and then grow with them as their skills develop, but the Leo is also a fun rough water play boat for the experienced paddler who wants a touring kayak that works well in surf and rock gardens. Leo’s hull tracks straight, yet is nimble on edge and fun in surf. 

  • At around 16’ in length, and drawing influence from the Scorpio and Virgo, the Leo fits neatly between the two in the P&H range to offer a boat which allows the paddler to explore all avenues of sea kayaking comfortably. In other words, a good all around sea kayak.

  • Leo is available in CoreLite X (triple layer), increasing hull stiffness and reducing weight and enhancing the performance of our leading hull designs for a more responsive kayak.

  • Impressive primary stability, and intuitively progressive secondary stability.

  • Comfortable and spacious cockpit ergonomics.

  • Moderate rocker for good maneuverability in surf and on journeys.

  • A full complement of features, including compass recess, perimeter deck-lines and bungees, and split paddle recesses.

  • Skeg is standard on all CoreLite X models.

  • Low cockpit back deck for easier rolling.

  • Security bar for ease of locking with a cable or chain (a padlock will fit around the bar).
