Zegul Arrow Nuka GT A-Core: A playful and high-performance sea kayak with a premium design

Nuka GT A-Core: Playfulness and Performance in Harmony

The Zegul Arrow Nuka GT A-Core is a high-performance touring kayak designed for intermediate and advanced paddlers seeking speed, playfulness, and reliability on ocean tours and adventure paddles. This model is optimized for smaller and medium-sized paddlers who require a kayak with high responsiveness and efficient movement through the water. The Nuka GT features a shallow-bow hull that provides good initial stability and easy maneuverability, while the softer hull sides reduce drag and ensure a smooth glide.

Design and Hydrodynamics: A-Core and Dynamic Hull Shape

The hull shape and materials used ensure a long service life and predictable handling on the water:

• A-Core Construction: An innovative sandwich structure that is lighter and stiffer than standard HDPE. It provides excellent force transmission, impact resistance, and UV resistance while maintaining a low weight of just 22 kg.
• Dynamic fuselage shape: The hull is designed to respond dynamically to tilts and allow for quick turns, which you'll appreciate when surfing waves or navigating technical sections.
• Retractable skeg: The skeg system significantly improves course stability in crosswinds or during long crossings, without compromising the boat’s maneuverability when turning. The boat is also prepared for the possible installation of a rudder.

Interior Features: Comfort and Smart Storage Solutions

Zegul emphasizes the importance of keeping everything under control and dry:

• A narrower cockpit: It ensures a snug fit against the paddler's body, providing better control of the kayak during edge tilts and Eskimo rolls.
• Smart Storage Solutions: The kayak has three main hatches—a round front hatch (24 cm), an oval rear hatch (44 x 26 cm), and a handy mini box (5 L, 15 cm). It also includes a day hatch (20 cm) for quick access to small items.
• Comfortable seating system: The ergonomically shaped, padded seat with an adjustable backrest ensures all-day comfort.
• Practical details: High-quality perimeter and deck lines ensure safety during Eskimo rolls and allow you to secure deck bags or pumps.

Suitable Activities and Uses on the Water

The Arrow Nuka GT A-Core is a great companion for:

• Surfing and playing in the waves: The dynamic hull shape and excellent maneuverability allow for lightning-fast turns and great tracking on the waves.
• Multi-day ocean expeditions: Ample storage space and a load capacity of 145 kg can handle all the gear you need for demanding hikes.
• Coastal Hikes: The skeg and durable A-Core construction can handle even moderate swells in more open water.

About the Zegul Brand: Swedish Design, Estonian Precision

The Swedish brand Zegul (now part of the Tahe Outdoors group) is synonymous with clean, functional design and top-quality sea kayaks. Each kayak is designed with respect for the tradition of Scandinavian paddling, where reliability, safety, and the joy of paddling come first. Manufacturing in Estonia ensures precise craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Care Instructions for the A-Core Polyethylene Shell

The A-Core hull is extremely durable, but to maximize its lifespan, we recommend storing the kayak away from constant direct UV exposure (ideally under a roof or a breathable tarp). After a trip, especially at sea, rinse the kayak thoroughly with fresh water. Regularly check the hatch seals, the condition of the lines, and the skeg mechanism, which you should lubricate with silicone spray from time to time.
