The Etain is their modern answer to that legacy: an expedition-capable kayak that doesn't demand an expedition to justify taking it out. Its speed, tracking, and load-resistance make it equally at home on a day paddle or a week-long coastal traverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;margin:0 0 16px;text-align:left;\"\u003eThe hull is intentionally neutral — \u003cem\u003eneither fish-form nor aggressively Swede-form\u003c\/em\u003e — which gives it predictable handling regardless of conditions or load. The widest point sits at the paddler's hips, creating a direct connection between body and boat. A shallow-to-moderate V keel delivers initial stability without sacrificing performance; moderate rocker keeps it lively without wandering. The result is a kayak that tracks well on an even keel, carves cleanly on edge, and surfs with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;margin:0 0 16px;text-align:left;\"\u003eThese stock boats are standard Diolen fibreglass. The Etain has been paddled on major expeditions including Justine Curgenven's 2014 Aleutian traverse. At Kayak Ontario, it is the hull we recommend most often to serious paddlers who want one boat that does everything well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:10px;letter-spacing:0.22em;text-transform:uppercase;opacity:0.5;border-top:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1);padding-top:14px;margin:28px 0 14px;text-align:left;\"\u003eAvailable Hulls\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;overflow-x:auto;margin:12px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;font-size:12px;white-space:nowrap;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px 14px;font-size:10px;letter-spacing:0.1em;text-transform:uppercase;opacity:0.5;font-weight:500;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1);\"\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px 14px;font-size:10px;letter-spacing:0.1em;text-transform:uppercase;opacity:0.5;font-weight:500;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1);\"\u003eDeck\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px 14px;font-size:10px;letter-spacing:0.1em;text-transform:uppercase;opacity:0.5;font-weight:500;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1);\"\u003eTrim \/ Coaming\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px 14px;font-size:10px;letter-spacing:0.1em;text-transform:uppercase;opacity:0.5;font-weight:500;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1);\"\u003eHull\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.06);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e17-5\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.06);\"\u003eSmoke Alpha\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.06);\"\u003eTangerine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.06);\"\u003eLt Aircraft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.06);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e17-5\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.06);\"\u003ePost Office Red\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.06);\"\u003eSmoke Grey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.06);\"\u003eLt Aircraft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.06);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e17-5\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.06);\"\u003eTangerine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.06);\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.06);\"\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.06);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e17-5\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.06);\"\u003eWhite Alpha\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.06);\"\u003eDark Battleship\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.06);\"\u003eSmoke Grey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.06);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e17-7\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.06);\"\u003eTangerine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.06);\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.06);\"\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:11px;opacity:0.5;margin:6px 0 0;text-align:left;\"\u003eOne kayak per colourway, all standard Diolen.
