Kayaking can be a sport enjoyed by everyone of all ages and sizes and can be used for all manner of purposes from catching some breakers to a gentle cruise on a river or lagoon.
At OutdoorGB, we have a superb range of Kayaks from three leading manufacturers: Bic Sport, Sevylor and Teksport with something to suit everyone.
Bic, synonymous with ballpoint pens, expanded into the watersports market in the 1980s and have since been making quality kayaks designed as the ultimate holiday toy. They have a good range of very versatile Sport Kayaks suited for just having fun with the family.
Bic Sport have developed a semi-rigid hull: combining a keel and a high pressure floor that produces a kayak that is more comfortable and lightweight than a conventional kayak yet dryer and easier to steer than a standard inflatable kayak.
But Inflatable Kayaks are becoming increasing popular as materials and designs develop.
OutdoorGB stock a range of inflatables from Sevylor, who have been producing inflatable kayaks and inflatable canoes since 1948. The Sevylor Tahiti has even been used to travel the entire length of the Amazon river – twice.
One of the advantages of using an inflatable is that it packs down to a very manageable size sothat itcan be transported anywhere with complete ease, allowing you to go around whatever obstacle you might come across in your adventure!
OutdoorGB also supply a great range of fishing kayaks and inflatables. Using a kayak to fish from means that you can get into the more secluded spots, those with shallow or rocky water. Many fishing kayaks also come packed full of features like rod holders and areas to store equipment.
A constantly developing area of Kayaking is Surf Kayaking. This sport shares much in common with traditional surfing, such as a number of fins being used to provide stability and manoeuvrability.
A Surf Kayak is generally shorter and less stable on flat water than a normal kayak but once it is propelled by a wave it comes into its own. We a have a couple of Teksport Surf Kayaks that are very versatile craft, ideal for both beginners and more experienced riders alike and at a very reasonable price.
