The Zephyr 480 is an entry-level touring sea kayak. Her hull shape provides good stability & maneuverability, the cockpit size allows an easy entry and the small length makes the boat easy to transport. These together result a good choice for beginners to learn the principles of (sea) kayaking. Yet, as you’ll become more familiar with the technique, the Zephyr 480 could remain a good partner on smaller, recreational trips.
