The Subkayak D46 is designed for both touring and racing, with a focus on performance and aesthetics. Its visual design features an optical separation into two distinct sections, giving it a recognizable appearance. The kayak supports various customization options through the use of 3D printed components. Elements such as rudder hatch covers and flag holders can be produced to order, allowing for adjustments in form, color, or branding. This approach enables users to personalize their kayak according to individual preferences while maintaining overall functionality and design.
