Zegul Reval LV A-Core RudderSkeg: A lightweight, high-performance sea kayak with premium control
Reval LV A-Core: British Style and Modern Technology
The Zegul Reval LV A-Core is an outstanding British-style sea kayak, designed specifically for intermediate and advanced paddlers seeking reliability and performance on sea tours and longer trips. Its lower volume (LV) makes it an ideal choice for smaller and medium-sized paddlers, who will appreciate the roomier cockpit and better support while paddling. This model offers excellent stability and performance in all sea conditions.
Design and Hydrodynamics: A-Core and the RudderSkeg System
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 combines various layers of composite materials with a reinforced keel area. This makes the kayak extremely durable and rigid, allowing it to withstand even the most demanding sea conditions while maintaining a low weight of just 22 kg.
- Shallow V-hull: It ensures rapid acceleration and excellent straight-line speed.
- The RudderSkeg (SmartTrack) System: A unique combination of a rudder and a retractable skeg. The rudder improves maneuverability, while the skeg helps maintain a straight course, which is essential for long voyages in variable wind and wave conditions.
Interior Features: Comfort and Smart Storage Solutions
Zegul emphasizes the importance of keeping everything under control and dry:
- 3 watertight hatches: Round front compartment (24 cm, 50 l), oval rear compartment (44 x 26 cm, 75 l), and a practical day compartment (15 cm, 40 l). This combination provides ample space for all your gear on longer expeditions.
- 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.
- 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 Reval LV A-Core is a great companion for:
- Sea Tours and Adventure Cruises: Excellent stability and performance in all open-water conditions.
- Longer expeditions: Ample storage space (165 liters in the main compartments) and a load capacity of 120 kg can handle all your gear.
- Challenging conditions: The A-Core construction and RudderSkeg system provide maximum control and maneuverability when sailing in wind and waves.
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.

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 RudderSkeg mechanism, which you should lubricate with silicone spray from time to time.

Expert advice: Thanks to its A-Core construction, the Reval LV A-Core is incredibly lightweight (22 kg), which you’ll appreciate every time you load it onto your car’s roof or carry it to the water—all without sacrificing the boat’s rigidity. The RudderSkeg system is its secret weapon: on calm water or when turning, keep the skeg retracted and the rudder in the neutral position for lightning-fast response. As soon as you head out into open water and a crosswind picks up, simply extend the skeg or slightly adjust the rudder—the boat will “straighten out,” and you won’t have to constantly correct your course with paddle strokes. Use the waterproof compartments wisely: put your sleeping bag and dry clothes in the large rear compartment, your electronics and a snack in the front compartment, and items you need to have on hand at all times in the day hatch. Before every longer trip, check the hatch seals and make sure the lines are properly tensioned.
