Wave Sport Ethos 9 & 10

Quick & agile Crossover Kayak

The Wave Sport Ethos provides a stable, forgiving, and confidence inspiring crossover which can navigate easy white water while tracking well on the flat and choppy waters of the sea. This makes it an ideal crossover that’s well suited to paddling on slow moving rivers, canals, harbours, and light costal conditions.

Designed for the flat water tourer and low grade white water adventure in mind. The hull and edges mean it will carve into turns enabling greater control and performance, while the added length over the normal river runner provides increased speed which along with rocker allows you to push through waves and rapids in your way.

When it comes to covering distance, the straight line tracking of the TruTrak Skeg means that beginners are able to stay straight with ease and means you are able to save energy on adjusting your direction, enabling you to power on throughout the day.

The roomy cockpit along with stern storage and bulkhead means that you can carry everything you will need while exploring or on a multi-day expedition. Soft Grip Grab Handle and outfitting adjustment, means that comfort while portaging and paddling is not an issue. 

WhiteOut Spec

Included with this version of the Ethos, is a full white water bulkhead footplate, that enhances the structure of the kayak, providing a safer performance in bigger rapids and white water rivers. The WhiteOut outfitting also features a fully adjustable ratchet backband to improve paddler support and connection to the kayak, keeping you in control.

We recommend purchasing the WhiteOut Hip Pad Kit to give you the more secure fitment for even greater connection, control, and confidence.

COREtour Spec

This version of the Wave Sport Ethos provides maximum comfort for paddlers spending longer days on the water, with a premium leg-lift support seat system, and comfy, connective hip-pads. To help reduce the overall weight, the bulkhead footrest is swapped out for lightweight, easy to adjust footrest pedals. The COREtour Ethos is better suited to paddlers who prefer sheltered adventures, while seeking confidence-building for learning white water.
