Oban Sea Kayak

In the last year or two sit on top sales in Scotland have grown hugely and we now have a wide range in stock. These kayaks are proving very popular with Anglers and for people who are nervous about a sit inside kayak or who want to play without the need to learn to roll your kayak. (more…)

Everyday we are open you can demo our sea kayaks for free straight from the shop(see the list below which is ever changing).
Dont forget you can always rent for a few days before you buy & we will deduct the rental cost from the sale price.
Also second hand kayaks for sale in scotland.(also ever changing) (more…)

We are closed for a few weeks while we head off to Belize for a white water kayaking trip for 5 days then 9 days sea kayaking and snorkelling and surf kayaking on the barrier reef.

The River was superb see photo below. A great place to be at this time of year when sea kayaking conditions in scotland arent ideal.

Some people obviously think its too cold to go sea kayaking but then again a day like today and it seems a pretty good idea

With easterly winds the west is very calm and very sunny. Little snow has fallen in the Oban area. We have been busy exploring Seil Island before we go into work. Here’s a few photos.

As part of our long running aim to survey warm winter sea kayaking destinations we have been visiting the Kenyan Coast.

Now we are back in Scotland and hoping for a busy december before we head out on our next winter sea kayaking destination survey. Baja? Belize? Any suggestions?

The dates for 2010 are now being added to http://www.nationalkayakschool.com/dates_and_prices.asp You can also get a great sea kayaking gift ideas. Course vouchers of any length or value.

We should have pictures soon but the Composite Wilderness systems Tempest 165 & 170 with their excellent outfitting and great performance at a good price are going to be hard to beat.

Bending Branches /Aquabound paddles the Surge, the Swell & the Spindrift are gettting very favourable reception.

Smart Wool is also proving a real winner. A good bit cheaper than icebreaker and in more exciting colours.

Peak Drysuits with their revolutionary new entry /zip system is also proving very popular. By sea kayakers for sea kayakers.
