Due to the importance of combining paddler weight/size to kayak you should arrange to come for a paddle in our demo fleet

 

Designed for rough water and covering distances, the Explorer is our main expedition kayak and suits the medium sized paddler. Faster than the Romany family, manoeuverable and direction stable. It has a large carrying capacity and has been used on a one-month expedition to Antarctica carrying all supplies with no support.

 The Explorer is fitted with the High performance glass seat, unless otherwise requested. The kayak has a low rear deck for easy rolling, a keyhole cockpit that gives excellent grip, control and allows quick exit if need be. The sloping bulkhead behind the seat allows the kayak to be emptied by lifting only the bow, no x-rescue is necessary. The Explorer is also available in low volume and high volume: HV and LV.

A lot of paddlers tend to buy expedition type kayaks when in reality they will only use them for this purpose a couple of times a year and the vast majority of their paddling trips are day or weekend trips where a better fitting and therefore sharper handling kayak would make their time on the water more enjoyable!

Once you have decided what most of your paddling use will be, then based on your size and weight you should really only need to try 2 kayaks

To be sure you choose the best kayak for you, we recommend that you try a couple of different boats first. If you are interested in purchasing a kayak from the range then come out for a trial paddle in the kayaks of your choice for a day which will ensure you make the correct choice of kayak for you.
