Native Watercraft Compass 12.5 Elite Colors
*Colors may vary slightly from those shown. Color combinations will vary from those shown in catalog and are unique for each boat we produce. Variations in color are not covered by warranty.
First Class Seats® offer unprecedented kayak seating comfort and flexibility!
The most comfortable, versatile kayak seat on the market!
This unique seating system supports you for hours of paddling, fishing, or simply soaking up the sun. You can remove them quickly to load your boat easily. Adjust the seat back and bottom to give you more support during a hard paddle or recline it a bit and relax while you wait for a fish to take the bait. Given the comfort and adjustability of its suspended seat design, it may also become your favorite beach or campground chair!
The seat cushions are made from HiFlow™ 3-D Mesh (patented), which is 100% recyclable and requires zero ozone-depleting cfc's (chlorofluorocarbons) in its production.
Textilene® solar screen fabric is designed to withstand seven (7) years of daily sun exposure before it begins to break down. The light-colored fabric stays much cooler than traditional black seats or compression molded seats. The strong but light anodized pewter seat frame also stays touchably cool in the sun.
It weighs only seven pounds, less than most sit inside kayak seats and it can be removed easily to lighten your kayak when loading or unloading.
Your Native Watercraft boat features the Easy Foot™ System.
This system provides excellent adjustability from your seated position, and employs large footpads to reduce the back and leg effort required to maintain contact and control while you paddle.
Adjustable foot braces allow you to reposition your foot pedals quickly and easily while onshore or underway.
To adjust the Easy Foot™ footbrace:
• Unweight the pads.
• Pull or push the adjustment bar until the footpad is in the desired position
• When you feel the footpad click into place on the track, let go of the adjustment bar.
Hull Construction Materials
Elite Composites
These handcrafted Elite boats are extremely handsome models you will be proud to own. They're lighter in weight than their competitors, due to a state-of-the art lay up. Minimal use of gel coat eliminates several pounds of unnecessary weight, and vacuum-bagging with vinyl ester resin creates a tough, resilient construction so they will serve you faithfully. Ultimate™ 12, Ultimate™ 14.5, Ultimate™ 14.5, Compass 10.5, and Compass 12.5 kayaks and the Osceola Paddleboard can all be purchased as composites.
