The new Track Master Plus rudder is already in production and the first kayaks outfitted with the new rudder are already on the way to Europe. This is one more innovation developed by Epic Kayaks that is going to improve even more the performance of our sea kayaks. Track Master Plus or TM+ enhances boat maneuverability in all see conditions. It retracts automatically if the paddler hits hard objects in shallow water and it could be retracted and locked in place manually for safer lounging during kayaking expeditions. The rudder could be ordered as an option or it could be purchased as an upgrade. All sea kayaks are now going out from the factory set up to accept the new rudder and they could be upgraded easily at any time. Kayaks manufactured from earlier production will need more skill with composite materials in order to retrofit the new rudder.
