Saint

Design work on our first kayak model - the Saint, is complete. We extensively tested prototypes on the Ottawa at all the best features, and we have what we think is the best design going for big air moves. Orders are being taken right now...

The Saint is surprisingly fast for it's 1.96m length, due to the gradual rocker transitions, and edge channels to provide improved release. And of course a lighter boat means a boat that is less effort to keep in control. This all combines to give more moves, more consistently with more potential for getting aerial! The extended knee box and foot bumps mean that the Saint is large enough for many taller paddlers. The seat position can also be altered at time of manufacture for a snug fit.

Thumbnail Image One of the advantages of composite construction is that the boat's trim and total volume can be altered by trimming the two halves of the boat before joining them. The internal fittings can also be customised to your needs. Only the foam footblocks, and backrest will be left to you to install to your preference.

Take a look at some pictures of the boats being tested here. We have had a lot of positive feedback from everyone who has tried them - what ever their level of paddling.
