“... Easy Rider’s 17 SK and 18-6 SK worked like a dream come true on our ten-day Alaska trip. We caught a lot of fish from our sit-on-tops...

Eskimo 17 CRX 3G SK


Easy Rider’s Eskimo 17 CRX 3G SK is a highly refined, high-performance sit-on-top kayak. It features the same hull design, the same performance and handling characteristics as its counterpart, the sit-inside version: Eskimo 17 CRX 3G (described on pages 26 & 27 of our KAYAK catalog). Both boats offer the surfing manners and quick maneuverability needed to play in the big stuff.
Add outrigger, catamaran, and sailing options, and you have versatility at its best!

Read the test report below about the sit-inside version, and you’ll be convinced that our 17-foot SK is so much more than a run-of-the-mill sit-on-top kayak...

James Chute, boat tester for CANOE MAGAZINE, writes:
"... Eskimo has good initial stability for photography and fishing, while the final stability is just short of phenomenal.
This combination is quite evident when eskimo-rolling: once the boat turns the corner, it fairly leaps to the upright position... I was most impressed by the Eskimo’s excellent surfing manners... In this boat, when the seas come from behind, you’ll just get a smooth lift with full control. In short, the Eskimo’s basic design is that of a forgiving, but fully capable ocean tourer...
The Eskimo has one final feature that makes it ideal for ocean touring: it will bring you back home!”
