Freedom 12 - Highperformance and Lightweight

The Freedom 12 represents the next generation of Freedom Hawk Kayaks, taking Stand-Up Kayak Fishing to a new level Specification:

Hull: 274 cm
Outriggers: 114 cm

This ultimate fishing machine features a patented inline outrigger system, giving anglers a choice of 3 positions. It paddles like a conventional kayak when in the first position. Position two offers additional stability when fishing or rigging a rod. The third position fully extends the outriggers into their patented “inline position” for maximum efficiency when paddling, fishing, polling, or motoring (with the optional motor mount). Now you can stalk fish with less drag and water movement, or gain additional paddling stability in more challenging paddling conditions.

The Freedom 12 also features a new lightweight hull, featuring a break down carrying weight just over 50 pounds.

There’s only one fishing kayak innovative and stable enough to put you in position to catch more fish — the new Freedom 12 by Freedom Hawk Kayaks.

INLINE OUTRIGGERS:
Our PATENTED inline outrigger design is now available with a third inline position, maximizing your performance in every situation – whether polling, motoring, paddling or standing.

STABILITY:
Ask any pro bass angler and he'll tell you, to catch more fish, you need to stand. Freedom Hawk kayaks are ruggedly engineered for stability with the standing fisherman in mind.

TRANSPORTING:
The outriggers are easily removed for transport and storage. When removed, the overall length of the kayak is reduced to 9' and it's carrying weight is only 49 lbs.

Patented Inline Outriggers:
The Freedom 12 features a redesigned Inline Outrigger System which provides an additional position for the angler, revolutionizing kayak fishing with its efficiency and stability.

Casting Brace:
Standing in a kayak has never been easier. Our Casting Brace provides additional stability for stand-up fishing or poling, and stores neatly in the recess of the deck when not in use.

Push Pole Recess:
The deck has an integrated, snag-free Push Pole Recess to house the optional 12’ sectional push pole.

Two-Cup/Beverage Holders:
Keeping yourself hydrated is important. Store your favorite beverages in these over-sized cup holders.

Two Flush Mount Rod Holders:
Each Freedom 12 comes standard with two Flush Mount Rod Holders, allowing you to effortlessly paddle or stand with your favorite poles in close proximity.

On-Board Storage:
The Freedom 12 offers all-day storage capacity for gear of any size. Featuring waterproof storage compartments on each outrigger and bow tank well storage for oversized gear, you'll have a safe place for all your tackle cases, decoys, photography equipment and diving or snorkeling gear.

Four scuppers with plugs allow the cockpit area to be drained quickly and safely in wet or heavy sea conditions.

Multi Position Molded-In Footbraces:
Our Molded-in Footbraces provides proper fit and performance while simplifying the deck for snag-free fly fly fishing.

High-back Seat:
