From backpack to water in 3 minutes
Forget complicated instructions and endless fiddling. The VIK folding system is our answer to annoying logistics. We've perfected the setup so you don't need any tools: unfold, snap in the frames, tighten the straps – done. In less than 5 minutes, you can transform the VIK 3.8 PRO from a compact package into a highly stable folding kayak. Our specially developed locking mechanism is rock solid and guarantees maximum rigidity on the water. After your trip, disassembly is just as quick. Become a pro on the shore and spend your time where it matters: on the water.
12 kg folding kayak freedom
Why carry heavy loads when it can be easy? At just 12 kilograms, the VIK 3.8 PRO is a true lightweight among folding kayaks. In our Berlin production, we use recycled hollow-core panels and a slim aluminum frame. The result: You comfortably carry your boat to the lake as a backpack, take it with you on the S-Bahn, or store it in the smallest campervan. With a pack size of only 70 x 55 cm, you become completely independent of roof racks or heavy trailers. You'll barely feel it on your back – but on the water, it delivers the full performance of a hard-shell boat.
Well-conceived to the last step: Product Engineering from Berlin
The VIK 3.8 PRO is the result of intensive development work in our Berlin production facility. We tested until the formula was right: a hull made from recycled hollow-chamber panels – light enough for a total weight of 12 kg, yet robust enough for years of tours.
Specially developed frames and our precise locking system are manufactured exclusively in Germany. For you, this means a quick, absolutely tool-free assembly for uncomplicated setup.
From the first sketch to final production, we rely on "Made in Germany" and short supply chains. The VIK is backed by countless prototypes, so you don't have to think twice at the water's edge. You get a folding kayak that simply works.
Product Features
OpenDeck Design
Our open deck design makes it especially easy to get in and out at the shore or on a jetty. The design offers you maximum freedom of movement in the cockpit and ensures an airy riding experience without restricting you.
Center Stability
Thanks to the deep seating position in the boat, you benefit from enormous initial stability. You sit so close to the center of gravity that you can steer the VIK intuitively and safely using your hips – for full control in every situation.
VIK-Fold Tech
Our innovative folding mechanism reduces a full-sized kayak to an ultra-compact size of only 70 x 55 x 16 cm. The system intuitively guides you through the process – unfold, snap into place, start paddling.
VIK-Lock System
Our specially developed closure mechanism combines security with speed. With robust ratchets and precisely fitting frames, the folding kayak is securely sealed without tools in record time, so you can rely implicitly on the construction.
FAQ Folding Kayak VIK 3.8 PRO
Thanks to its rigid hollow-chamber structure, the VIK offers performance that is extremely close to that of classic hard-shell boats. In contrast to spongy inflatable kayaks, the VIK 3.8 PRO lies stably in the water and impresses with direct power transfer. In our Berlin production, we ensure maximum torsional rigidity for a secure riding experience. You can find more about the comparison here in our blog guide.
Our polypropylene twin-wall sheets are designed for extreme durability. The material is permanently flexible, meaning that the folded edges will not become brittle even after thousands of folds. We produce durable sports equipment, not a disposable product – you have our word as developers and manufacturers.
With a packed size of 70 x 55 cm, it is considered hand luggage on the train. You can easily stow it in the luggage racks on the ICE or in the multi-purpose compartment. This makes your folding kayak the ideal companion for paddling without a car. Tips for your first train journey with a boat can be found here.
Absolutely. Weighing in at just 12 kg, the VIK 3.8 PRO was designed precisely for this purpose. You can comfortably carry it to the shore as a backpack and set it up alone in under 5 minutes. It's the ideal tool for solo paddlers who don't want the hassle of heavy logistics or help unloading from a car roof.
The material is extremely easy to maintain. After your trip, simply rinse the boat with fresh water and wipe it dry. Since the VIK is UV-resistant and robust, it requires no special sealing. When folded, it takes up little space in your apartment or basement – ideal for city dwellers.
Absolutely. We are confident in our quality and regularly offer you the opportunity for a test ride in Berlin directly on the Spree. This way, you can experience the handling, weight, and quick setup for yourself before making a decision. You can book your appointment here.
