Options for NC Kayaks
The options available for NC Kayaks are special finishes, paddle float rescue, bulkhead hatch, carbon / Kevlar, d-rings, and a rudder. Please visit our Accessories page for details on available kayak accessories.
Our two-tone fades make it easy for you to own a stunning and unique kayak. Simply choose any two colors of your liking for the deck. We list them from outside color to middle color. For example, this kayak has a Dark Blue to Magenta fade. See many more examples on our Color Examples page.
Available for: NC15, NC17, NC19, NC22
Similar to the fade, our webbed finish combines two different colors onto the deck of your kayak. Again, you can pick any two colors for the deck and the webbing. This kayak has a Black deck and Light Blue webbing. See many more examples on our Color Examples page.
Available for: NC15, NC17, NC19, NC22
Do you resemble a raccoon in your love of all things sparkly? Then this finish is for you. Metal flake is added to the gel coat for a truly dazzling kayak.
We currently offer metallic finish in British Racing Green, Dark Blue or Red with your choice of Gold or Silver flake. Click the picture for a closeup view.
Available for: NC15, NC17, NC19, NC22
If you plan on using a paddle float for your self-rescues, we can install adjustable nylon straps behind the coaming to anchor the paddle with. The straps include a buckle for ease of use.
Available for: NC15, NC17, NC22 | Included on: NC19
A hatch can be installed in the front bulkhead in order to accomodate long items such as a fishing rod. The bulkhead hatch works best with long arms.
Available for: NC15, NC17, NC19
If you need a lifting fixture or just a way to secure your kayak, a D-Ring can be added to the front or the back of a kayak. It is only available before construction of a kayak has been completed.
Available for: NC15, NC17, NC19, NC22 | Included on: NC15 (aft)
You have your choice of either a black or white Ritchie Kayaker Compass. It features a heading memory bezel and twists off for easy removal. The price here includes installation.
Available for: NC15, NC17, NC19, NC22
Our single kayaks truly do not need a rudder (see our FAQ page), but it is an available option.
Available for: NC15, NC17, NC19 | Included on: NC22 tandem
We don't advocate carbon or Kevlar as they are not the best materials for kayaks (see our FAQ page for more). However, we do offer carbon and Kevlar. You can expect your carbon or Kevlar kayak to weigh about one pound less than the LT version of any given model.
