~ GO FAST ~

For paddlers who want the most speed to travel the most miles or for the best aerobic workout here are a few kayaks that I think you will really enjoy paddling.

SOLSTICE GTS – 17’7” long, 22” wide, good initial and secondary stability. Very comfortable with molded thigh braces. Straight tracking. Rudder. A beautiful boat. One of our most popular sea kayaks.

NOMAD – long, lean and mean. 18’10” long, 21 ˝” wide. An excellent long distance touring kayak that eats up the miles. 48 lbs. In Kevlar, 54 lbs. In glass Rudder.

SEDA GLIDER – wins races at 19 feet long, 22” wide. It climbs over waves and maintains forward speed easily. The Glider is priced lower than the others. Rudder optional.

LOOKSHA III – very fast. 19’6” long and 21” wide. Only 45 lbs. In Kevlar. It has low initial stability and high secondary stability.

18’ SPIRIT II canoe in Kevlar weighs 42 lbs and measures 35” wide. Bucket seats and bow slider are standard. The 18 will carry 2 paddlers and a month’s worth of food and supplies.

EXTREME – long, lean and mean. 18’10” long, 21 ˝” wide. An excellent long distance touring kayak that eats up the miles. 48 lbs. In Kevlar, 54 lbs. In glass Rudder.

CARIBOU “S” is a modified Greenland design with a narrow, hard chine hull. She measures 17’8” long, 21 ž” wide and weighs 50 lbs in glass, 45 in Kevlar.

The performance of each of the above kayaks is so outstanding it may be the last kayak you will ever buy.

~ ON PADDLES ~

I prefer a short paddle with a big blade for better acceleration and more power. 213cm to 220cm seems to work best on narrow, fast kayaks. If you can afford a graphite paddle go for it but Werner and Epic make some very light fiberglass paddles that cost about 45% less than graphite. Wing racing paddles are excellent for touring also. Epic makes the Excalibur II in graphite (21oz).

~AND PFDs~

MTI and Kokatat make lightweight, low profile comfortable life jackets (PFD’s). They don’t rub your chin, they have large arm openings for ease of twisting your torso for the best paddle stroke. New feature from Extrasport – super comfortable PFD adjustment straps.

So if you want the most excitement in kayaking, come on down and check out our HOT kayaks, and check out our new compass – only 40 bucks and it fits all kayaks.

See you on the water.
