Following this 2009 adventure she is currently circumnavigating South America –the first ever to attempt this. When Point 65 began designing the FREYA 18, safety, comfort, and speed were key design features. The result is stunning. Even the most experienced paddler can become frustrated with the constant bracing in the rough. The Point 65 FREYA 18 changes everything. This lightning fast expedition kayak is designed for maximum speed when Conditions get real.The FREYA 18 is designed to outrun most anything while keeping its rider safe in the cockpit through the most fearful chop, surf, wake or you name it.
