nortik argo 1
The sporty tourer for great adventures
The argo is a robust and fast single-seater that, with a length of 5.20 m and its large volume, is ideal for expeditions and more powerful paddlers. Like its "little brother," the navigator, it uses an innovative frame design: bent frames in the bow and stern ensure high initial stability, while the round frames of the sides, which are kept perfectly in shape by air tubes, guarantee excellent final stability. This design makes the boat extremely safe and stable, even for beginners, without compromising on sportiness.
„Beautiful, fast, spacious, affordable – the argo is almost unbeatable.“ „It combines maximum good-natured handling with high performance. Anyone who needs plenty of space for themselves and their luggage and doesn't need a traditional wooden frame can stop searching and get an argo.— KANU Magazin
Lightweight robustness and reliability
Despite its impressive size, the Argo weighs only 19 kg thanks to its black anodized aluminum frame and can be stored completely in a single pack backpack. The outer skin, made from a proven PVC/PU mixture, is reinforced with keel strips as standard and can withstand the toughest conditions. As the construction does not use open seams, the kayak is almost 100% watertight in combination with a sea sock or spray deck, making it the perfect companion for any water environment.
During my 1,000 km adventure „Paddle for Egypt,“ the nortik argo 1 proved to be a versatile, comfortable, and reliable kayak that I can warmly recommend to other paddlers! I'm already looking forward to my next expedition!— Rob van der Aar
