Kitiwec is named after a very fast and agile seagull. It was designed by L. Bourdon for an expedition from North Cape to Douarnenez. Very low on the water, it is a very quick and agile kayak, with the result of reducing the effect of the wind and it offers a stability that is unusual for this level boats.

Kitiwec is able to sail easily even in presence of rough sea and it regains its starting trim with the same facility it bends on the waves. Very fast even on just a little rough waters, it is the ideal boat for outings with a little load; for its stability and handling it is appreciated both by beginners and by the most expert kayakers.

Construction under Plasmor France licence.
