VIRGO MV CX SKEG Kayak
The Virgo is a compact but uncompromising sea kayak for weekend warriors, at a length which provides ample hull speed for short to medium journeys whilst keeping the boat weight to a minimum, making it easier to handle all the way from lifting it off the car, through a trip full of unique experiences, to lifting it back onto the car at the end of a great adventure. The compact design and a defined carving rail combine to give responsive maneuverability for exploring varied coastline environments, and high stability ensures you can venture into the unknown with confidence too.

Gear Review: P&H Virgo Sea Kayak
Â
- A V-hull cuts cleanly through the water and tracks beautifully but softens towards the center of the boat for comfortable stability and easy release.
- Moderate rocker allows the Virgo to pick up and carry speed efficiently when flat but swing around effortlessly on edge.
- Hard chines engage for carving performance when edging into the turn.
- A moderately steep bow ensures a high proportion of the length acts as effective waterline for hull speed.
- Flared bow edges give a dry ride through choppy water and lift the boat over waves on the paddle out from the shore.
- Carefully planned bow deck geometry provides stiffness and strength for deep water rescues.
- A low, ergonomically shaped rear deck allows easy rolling and re-entry, with a paddle shaft recess for bracing during entry.
- Bulkheaded bow and stern main hatches with market-leading KajakSport hatch covers for secure storage and a reliable seal.
- Functional details such as split paddle recesses, a drop-forged, anodized aluminum security point, a paddle park, and a full complement of deck lines and bungees.
- P&H's famously comfortable, highly-adjustable and reliable Connect outfitting.
