The Scupper 12 is simply the fastest, most efficient 12-foot sit-on-top-kayak in the world.
How could we say such a thing? What actually makes the Scupper 12 superior?
We received a utility patent from the US Patent Office for our “Scupper Valve” drainage system. The valves release advanced performance in the Scupper 12 on several levels.
SPEED
Because it doesn’t need the same width other kayaks need, it’s only 28″ wide. This unleashes impressive speed and efficiency that sets this kayak apart from the crowd. Having the ability to paddle fast is amazing, and getting blown away by others sucks. Paddling with speed and efficiency is not just more fun, it’s ultimately safer, especially in bad weather or conditions.
STABILITY
Being lowered into the cockpit creates a steady sense of balance. The strong secondary stability allows you to turn and maneuver the boat with ease and paddle through side winds with style + grace. Your only focus is on a natural, short stroke.
COMFORT
The lowered footwells deliver advanced ergonomics that allow one to paddle all-day pain free. Your knees are bent, with your feet lower than your posterior. The positive body positioning is enhanced by the plush ‘Mo Cheeks seat, which allows for adjustments on the water that can provide relief and motivate you that extra mile.
CONTROL
Now that you’re lowered into the cockpit, your paddle shaft will never hit your knees again. The keel in the stern is shaped like a skeg, tracking the boat straightforward. When it’s time to turn, you simply drop a knee and pivot off your secondary stability, instead of using only your shoulders to muscle yourself around. The Scupper 12 allows you to paddle smarter, not harder.
Why choose the 12?
The 12 is a versatile boat. All the Swell Watercraft kayaks have the same leg length, so the Scupper 12 will fit basically any adult. When choosing a Swell kayak, the most important consideration is who will paddle the boat and where do they want to go. The 12 is our most popular model because it crosses over from lakes & bays to small or big rivers with ease. It’s excellent for multiple users, as virtually anyone can paddle it. But you may not want to share it.
Whether you’re looking for kayak touring, camping, racing, exploring, or a combo of all the above-you can always rely on the Scupper 12 to perform at the highest levels.
