Carbon / Kevlar Sea Kayaks now in Valley Etain 17.5

stuartsk09 — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 15:44:12 +0000

There seems to be a misconception that Carbon / Kevlar sea kayaks cost a small fortune.
In general they cost 20% more than the standard Glass / diolen model. They probably only reduce the weight by a couple of Kilos, but this could make all the difference when it comes to loading it on to the roof of your car. Generally you would expect them to be stiffer and also because of the increased stiffness and less weight very slightly faster.
If you want it to last the next 20 yrs then its probably worth having the keel strip put on, but this may depend on how you treat your sea kayak and where you paddle.

We now have several demo sea kayaks in Carbon/kevlar so if you are not sure come and give them a try. NB you can have the hull gelcoat any colour you want the carbon kevlar doesnt have to be visible from the outside.

Personally I love anything that makes my sea kayak lighter so if I had the money I would definitely go for one.

Yes we do ! Sea kayak hire and Sea Kayak rental on the west coast of Scotland.

Sea Kayak Shuttles by fast boat (RIB)

stuartsk09 — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 15:34:08 +0000

We have talked about it for a while and then when the weather dawned still and clear we tried it out.

Oban Sea kayak shuttle

It was really worth it as it saved a very early morning paddle into the wind & the start of the flood tide and it gave us a great few hours surfing at the Grey Dogs or Little Corrievreckan as its known.

Another day we had a ride out to the Far West end of the Garvellachs and then really enjoyed a relaxing paddle back

20 Min ride to far west of Garvellachs

We hope to use the RIBs in future to access lots of different areas especially when we get a sudden break in the weather or when you only have the weekend to work with.
