Looksha 14: Sleek lines and a large, roomy cockpit are designed to bring your paddling skills to a new level. The smaller cousin of Necky’s popular Looksha 17, the Looksha 14 has great edge control with a smooth transition between primary and secondary stability. Complete with thigh braces and a comfortable seat, this high-performance craft is perfect for flatwater touring and coastal exploring, while still offering the stability and tracking needed for longer excursions. The retractable aluminum rudder helps tracking in wind and strong currents, and can take lots of abuse. When stowing gear, you'll find the bow and stern hatches are the largest hatch openings ever designed by Necky. The easy to open Cross Lock System also means getting into your hatches is simple, too. Note: Each multicolor boat is unique, and color patterns vary boat to boat.
Carbon Swell Plus: Make waves with the Swell! This performance paddle is designed for a more relaxed low-angle stroke and crafted with the most discerning kayak devotee in mind. With a T-700 carbon fiber shaft the Swell provides amazing durability for the weight. Balanced and flutter-free composite blades further reduce weight so you can paddle longer with less fatigue. With the Telescoping Adjustable Ferrule, you can customize your paddling experience instantly. Set the feather angle of your blades to minimize wind resistance without causing wrist fatigue. Telescope the Swell to the ideal length for your paddling style and conditions. Perfect for anything from day trips to full-blown expeditions, the Swell offers ultimate performance for any serious paddler.
Tow Motion PFD: The Tow Motion is the Swiss army knife of PFD’s. It offers the most comfortable fit available, and is configured in a way to accommodate the need for maximum storage capability and additional places to put things. The Tow Motion is tow belt ready, allowing one to easily transform this jacket in a rescue vest. Hand-shaped foam elements minimize the vest’s profile, and the rugged Cordura shell will provide years of durability. A cross-chest cinch adjustment eliminates ride-up and fits the vest lower on the torso for full mobility, more effective buoyancy and additional comfort. Stretchy adjustable neoprene shoulders offer great comfort. Roomy pockets offer plenty of storage room. Strobe lash tabs and 3M reflective trim on both front and back increase visibility in low-light conditions. The Tow Motion adds functionality and convenience for any type of paddling.
Tropical Tour Skirt (2.2 Deck): This performance breathable skirt is constructed of waterproof/breathable fabric for the ultimate in comfort. All seams are sealed to further increase the waterproofing. Rim grip/safety slip technology keeps your skirt firmly in place while paddling, yet releases easily for exiting the boat. The adjustable stretch-nylon waist closure with removable suspenders fits virtually all paddlers, and the tensioned deck stay keeps the skirt taut. Ballistic nylon edging guards the skirt from paddling inflicted wear and tear. A mesh deck pocket keeps essentials close at hand.

I enjoyed the Looksha 14's comfort and handling. Very large cockpit, but there is enough adjustment to the seat and thigh braces to make it comfortable for just about anyone. The foot pedals are easily adjusted as well, and allow one to fit the cockpit and thigh braces to maximum advantage. I found the seat back a bit high - though very comfortable. I might agree with the prior review that the seat back gets in the way during rescue. Though I am perhaps advanced novice or beginning intermediate in skill-set, escape was easy, and with the large cockpit re-entry as well. The boat tracks very well. The lower back deck makes the wind affect it very little, at least in moderate winds. Longest paddle thus far was a trek down the sound side of Navarre Beach, in light winds, maybe 1 1/2 with a rare 2 foot wave ... no issues whatsoever... tracks well, slight adjustment to strokes to maintain track (I don't have a rudder on mine). Very stable - didn't try to edge much for turning as I didn't use the spray deck, but I would agree with previous reviewer that it would take a bit of lean to create the edge turning, given the stability of the boat. I think this will be a great boat for my day / overnight touring...(I also picked up a Prowler 13 for fishing... like that too, for its intended use).

I was surprised at the Looksha 14's comfort and handling. It is a very large cockpit, but there is enough adjustment to the seat and thigh braces to make it comfortable for just about anyone. I would suggest getting the back band rather than the seat back. In doing rescues, the seat back was always in the way and got tangled. The back band was much easier. The boat tracks almost too well. It does respond to an edge to turn, but you need to put it up quite a bit. The lower back deck makes the wind affect it very little, at least in moderate winds. I'm ordering three of them for a teaching fleet, sans rudder. Each will have the 'outfitter' seat back. I prefer this boat to the Looksha 17 (V) that I tried earlier. The 14 is a good combination of a shorter sea kayak that can track as well as an easy to transport and store kayak.

I was looking for a 14 foot kayak to take out in the bay and in some surf but I didn’t want a full on sea kayak. I needed something fast for its size but I didn’t want a cramped cockpit. I got to paddle the Looksha 14 at a demo day and fell in love with it! It is fast and easy to paddle. The seat is padded incredible well and doesn’t absorb water. The thigh braces allow me to “connect” with my boat so I can lean into turns easier. The rudder makes dealing with heavy winds or pushy surf a breeze. Wow, and the space!? Big cockpit and two big hatches for me and all my gear allow me to go on camping trips with only my boat. And it fits in my garage!
