Common questions

Can I use the Malachite for fishing?

Yes — an angler option is available with rod-holder interfaces. The huge capacity and sealed hatches make it excellent for fishing.

Do I need a rudder?

Most paddlers won't. The Malachite tracks beautifully and steers with edge control. Rudder is recommended mainly for significant swells or strong winds.

How much can it carry?

353 lbs — enough for a large paddler plus multiday expedition gear.
