Kayak Pro boats online |
The Kayak Pro Nemo
The Kayak Pro Namu
|
We've added some exciting new fast touring kayaks to our website. The Kayak pro Nemo and Namu, both designed by South west resident and boat designer extraordinaire Rob Feloy.
The Nemo is designed as an ultra fast sea and touring kayak, that also complies with Sea Kayak racing regulations. Speed is definitely the key with the Nemo, if you want to do some rock hopping, or even intend to land on a few rocky beaches, then you'd better look elsewhere, but if you want to get from A to B as fast as possible and not have to lugg about a heavy boat, then this is the boat for you. The Nemo is made from a Full Carbon/Kevlar sandwich construction, and is fully vacum bagged and heat cured for the ultimate in lightweight and stiffness. The Nemo weighs in at an amazing 15.5kg! It comes with a easy to use and smooth to operate Smart track rudder system, two hatches with bulkheads, and an adjustable composite Italian style race seat.
The Namu is shorter and wider than the Nemo, but shares much of the same features. Designed to be stable and easy to paddle, but still quick and effortless the Namu is a great Recreational and light touring kayak. It is suitable for paddlers all the way from beginners upwards, and comes in a range of sizes to accommodate all sizes. The Namu is available in two different constructions, either the Light weight 'Racer' construction the same as the Nemo or in a 'club' construction, made from a Glass sandwich, but also Vacum bagged and Heat cured. The Namu has all the same great features, a smart track rudder system, two hatches and and adjustable composite Italian style seat.

The Canal and river Exe freeze |

Unless you live in a foreign country you can't have failed to notice that its cold at the moment. So cold in fact that the River Exe has started to freeze up. It's not too uncommon to see the Exeter ship canal start to ice up, but it's not very often that the river does.

New, new and new! |
|
The Weather may finally have dried up here in the Southwest, and the rain may have stopped falling outside, but inside the shop it's raining new gear. We've got two new kayaks, a throwline belt and some toasty warm new boots!
First up we have the all new 2010 Pyranha Burn. Pyranha have taken their tried and tested Creek boat the Burn and made some subtle but significant changes. The rocker profile has been tweaked, to help create a faster boat, that still boofs well, the rails have been lifted to make it less likely to catch an edge, but still carve into and out of eddies, the Knee bumps have been smoothed and lowered to help avoid bashed knuckles when paddling, the cockpit rim has been lowered to make it easier to roll and the deck profiles have been altered ever so slightly to improve re-surfacing and water shedding.
Even with the 'old' Burn and the 2010 Burn side by side it takes a while to spot all these changes, they are that subtle. It's not going to feel like a whole new boat, but the little changes will all add up to a boat that is just that little bit better than its all ready good predecessor.
Check the new Burn in the AS watersports online shop
Next up we have the new Pyranha Rebel Junior kayak. Designed for the smaller paddler, the Rebel offers everything that the rest of the Pyranha range has, but in a boat that is tailored to younger and smaller kayakers. The Rebel features a full plate footrest, whitewater quality grab handles and rescue point and adjustable hip pads and backrest.
Check it out in the AS Watersports online shop
The HF Swifty rescue belt is a quick release waist belt for carrying towlines. It features a large quick release front buckle, for easy adjustment, and fast removal, and a double ended quick release strap for attaching a throwline, meaning that its easy to get your throwline out, with either your left or right hand. And at only £14.95 it's great value too.
Check it out in the AS Watersports Online Shop
And finally we've got the Palm Kola boot, just what you need to keep your feet warm in this cold weather. Made from 5mm plush lined double glued and blindstiched neoprene, with internal taping to keep your feet warm and dry. And featuring a great tough, and grippy sole, ideal for scrambling about on rocks, wadding through estuary mud, and trudging alone muddy river banks.

More River level Webcams |
|
More river level webcams, and this ones a Belter! Over looking the weir on the River Tavy in the middle of Tavistock. The webcam comes complete with a level gauge across the bottom so you can check hourly waterlevels to see if it's rising or falling.
The Tavy is a great river to paddle, with Three sections that are worth checking out. Above Tavistock are two sections the, highest 'The Cleave' featuresa an epic walk in, and some great class 4+ whitewater, but the river needs to be big, then the classic, 'Hill bridge' sections is a great class 3 paddle, a good step up from the Dart Loop. Below the weir there is one section, down to Denham bridge, that is a great great class 2(3) paddle which is good at almost any level and a great alternative to the Dart Loop.

We've just opened up the first delivery of the New 2009 Sweet protection helmets. We've not received all of our stock yet, but there's more than enough to get excited about.
We've received the 2009 Rocker Fullcut, in both the M/L and L/XL sizes and in Rescue Yellow, Sassy Green, Gloss White and Dirt Black.
We've also received some of our 2009 Strutters, in S/M, M/L and L/XL, but we've only received the Hot Pink and Sassy Green colours so far.
The New colours look amazing, especially the Hot Pink! The Sassy green looks good in both the Strutter and Rocker. Now we've just got to wait for the next box load.......
You can buy them, or pre order them HERE
