Built For Performance - From the low wetted surface hull to the stern-hung rudder, the Mohawk is built for speed and performance. The Mohawk’s narrow deck allows the paddle to be placed closer to the centerline for maximum stroke efficiency. In recent independent tank testing against leading European ICF boats, Van Dusen kayaks scored the lowest hydrodynamic drag of all boats tested.
Athlete Driven Design - The Mohawk’s cockpit design continues Van Dusen’s commitment to athlete input on comfort, adjustability, and durability. Train harder and longer in comfort with the Van Dusen Mohawk.
Performance Through Applied Technology - For over 25 years Van Dusen has led the application of composite technology to superior boat design. The results are simply the lightest, stiffest, and fastest, racing kayaks available today. The proof is in the numerous wins at international competitions.
