Our Equipment

Our equipment in the Kayak School is made by whitewater kayakers for whitewater kayakers! We pride ourselves on our equipment and as we teach a modern dynamic style of kayaking we require our equipment to fulfil this objective!

We are a whitewater kayak school so we do not use bulky and cumbersome rafting equipment, our buoyancy aids/personal flotation device are designed and cut specifically for whitewater kayaking! This is the ethos that runs through all of our equipment.

Waka Kayaks

We have every model of Waka kayaks in our equipment store! Waka are one of the foremost leading kayaking brands in the world and you will regularly see some of the best extreme kayakers using Waka. With the Tuna, Tutea, OG, Stout, Gangsta, Steeze, Billy Goat and Goat there is a Waka kayak for all paddlers. We have clients come from places where they have no access to a Waka kayak, once they have tried one on our kayak courses or trips they get back home looking for a way to get one for themselves.

Peak PS

Have been supplying the Kayak School with their award winning equipment since the start! The kayaking apparel fits perfectly, keeps you warm when you need to be, cool on a hot summers day and you look good. It is award winning, cutting edge and world beating whitewater kayaking equipment. The overwhelming majority of national whitewater slalom teams wear Peak PS.

Our Beginner Courses receive Peak PS booties, a choice of either wetsuit trousers or longjohn, river runner pfd, neoprene spraydeck, kayaking jacket with double wrists and waists to give a great seal and a soft neo cone neck. If the weather is cold we also have semi-dry whitewater trousers. Our helmets are provided by Predator.

Zet Kayaks

A small company from the Czech Republic with a big reputation for making quality whitewater kayaks. Their kayaks are designed by slalom paddlers and some incredibly talented whitewater kayakers and adventurers. Their kayaks ooze quality and their latest addition the Zet Cross is one of the best whitewater kayaks we have ever paddled! We have the Zet Cross, Five and Director in our kayak school.

Lettmann Kayaks

The Lettmann family are a famous family that have produced some of Germanys top slalom kayakers. With this knowledge they have produced some innovative and award winning whitewater kayaks. Their passion for kayaking is amazing and we are very proud to have kayaks such as the Granate in medium and Large and the Manta in our kayak school.

Striebel Designs

We have been trialing and testing Striebel Designs paddles for the past 3 years. We have known Basti for a long time and he has a big reputation of designing and making paddles when he was with Robson Paddles. Robert sold Robson and luckily for us Basti is keen to get back to doing what he does best. Striebel Designs paddles feel good to hold and use in the river, they give a strong pull on there is little flex. They come with a standard size blade or a bigger powerful blade at 30 degrees in various lengths. We even have a left handed paddle to use in the Kayak School and last but no means least, our paddles look absolutely amazing!

AT Paddles

We are currently using AT bent shaft paddles which include the bigger blade Geromino and the standard blade on the Hercules. Our AT Paddles are all 30 degree and right handed with different lengths.
