The Alvik is designed for the intermediate paddler seeking performance, comfort and elegance. It is also an excellent option for the beginner who aspires to attain a higher skill level. A long waterline allows the paddler to achieve excellent acceleration and cruise speeds. A moderate rocker enhances manoeuvrability when leaning. For long and short expeditions, whether loaded or not, the Alvik is always an outstanding choice.

Alvik means "walrus" in the language of the Inuit. The walrus is one of the most remarkable marine mammals inhabiting the north. It is closely related to the seal, the lion of the seas. The male of the species is spectacular with his two long tusks shaped like sabres, measuring between 26 and 60 centimetres in length. Adults can measure 3.6 m in length and weigh up to 1,400 kg.
