I just saw a recent photograph of the Point 65N XP18 kayak on their website. Is this boat available in the US? Has anyone had a chance to paddle it? It looks awesome!
Try calling Paddle Point in VA
I don’t think it’s available in the U.S. yet. But the good news (seeing you’re from Richmond) is that there’s a Point 65N distributor right in Williamsburg named Paddle Point. You can’t buy from them directly you have to go through a retailer, but they can tell you when and where to find it. I know that Virginia Sea Kayak Center in Chesapeake, VA is a retailer for Point 65N. Being a big guy, I like the sound of the wider and bigger cockpit on the XP18 for wet exits and reentries. I currently have a Point 65N X-Ray and love it, except the cockpit is a bit snug. I’ve also read good reviews on the Point 65N Whiskey 16 & 18.

They forgot to mention that paddling is very addictive as well.
