NRS Kaholo 145 - key features

KayakNRS Kaholo 145 represents the pinnacle of the NRS range of inflatable touring specials. At 4.42 metres in length, it provides the excellent directional stability and speed you would expect from a rigid boat, but with the advantage of easy transport in the boot of a car. The main advantage of this model is its variability - with the included aluminum hardware, you can easily change seat positions and customize the boat for tandem riding or solo missions. The Kaholo 145 excels in both calm and moderate swells, where its low-profile keel and aerodynamic shape ensure that paddling remains efficient even when fully loaded. It's a boat built to withstand years of rigorous use thanks to top-quality materials and welded seam technology.
