Description
Designed to Play. Built to Progress.
The Point 65 Whisky 16 Touring Kayak is a unique sea kayak designed by legendary paddler Nigel Foster, combining forgiving stability with high-performance manoeuvrability.
Built in 3-layer ultra-tough polyethylene, this kayak is made to handle rocks, surf, rough water and real-world abuse — without sacrificing control or comfort.
Whether you are an absolute beginner or an experienced paddler, the Whisky 16 adapts to your skills and grows with you.
Beginner Friendly — Expert Capable
On calm water, the Whisky 16 feels stable, predictable and reassuring, thanks to:
A wide, confidence-building hull
Hard chines for solid edging
Skeg and rudder for easy tracking
For beginners, this means faster learning and less frustration.
For experienced paddlers, it means precision control, playful handling and confidence in dynamic conditions.
Built for Rough Water, Surf & Rock Gardens
The Rocker version features a pronounced banana-shaped hull that makes the kayak:
Highly manoeuvrable in waves
Easy to spin, carve and side-slip
Perfect for rock hopping and tidal races
The fuller bow and stern reduce nose-diving when surfing, while the hard chine design delivers carving performance usually found in whitewater playboats.
Touring Ready, Expedition Capable
Despite its playful nature, the Point 65 Whisky 16 Touring Kayak is a true touring kayak:
Comparable cruising speed to other 16-foot kayaks
Large front and rear hatches + day hatch
Enough storage for self-supported expeditions
It’s equally at home on day trips, coastal touring, or multi-day adventures.
Comfort & Fit That Inspires Confidence
Deep cockpit for a secure feel
Comfortable bucket seat
Adjustable air backrest with lumbar support
Sliding foot braces for fine tuning
The cockpit position slightly aft of centre helps prevent plunging when surfing and improves wave performance.
