On the 7th Day of Christmas...

Summit to Sea offered me, a rescue kit for swimming.
Throwline, River Krab, River Knife & Rescue Tape

Later today we'll be paddling the Menai Straits, despite the weather just to make sure that we bag another day on the water BEFORE the year ends.

On the third day of Christmas...

Summit to Sea offered me, a powerstretch fleece mens*
* the womens fleece is also available on the same deal, but mens, rhymes with hens, we're trying to keep to the meter of the song!

Happy Christmas & Welcome to "The 12 Deals of Christmas"

Happy Christmas or Nadolig Llawen if you're closer to us.

From today we begin our Twelve Deals of Christmas Promotion, a new deal every day for the next twelve days, but rather than running for a single day, we add to it until twelfth night when we close the offer. Watch this space for updates on the offers.

On the first day of Christmas, Summit to Sea offered me, a Petzl Tikka XP

Of course , we're still running our popular deal of the day alongside this offer.

Have a great holiday and I hope you get out paddling.

Last Chance for Christmas...

well almost, todays the last chance for "First Class Post" according to Royal Mail, but there's still 2 days left if you want to pay more and get it posted by Special Delivery.

We've got some great gifts in stock:

What do you give the man who has everything? How about a s**tbag??

The Podsacs Waste Management Sack is a bag for those who really follow the leave nothing but footprints ethos when in the outdoors.


If the person you're buying for like's a tipple when out overnight, then there's the 0.24 litre Stanley Hip Flask
suitable for most beverages, it won't keep your tea warm, but the contents may well warm the cockles of your heart.

If you don't fancy the Sound of Music again on Christmas afternoon, then how about an inspirational DVD, Into The Wind. Showing the hardships endured by Jeff Allen & Harry Whelan on their record breaking circumnavigation of Ireland in the Spring? It'll certainly make the post christmas dinner wash up seem less of a mammoth undertaking.

With corks popping all over the place, then the serious outdoor types would love to be reaching for the Gerber Crucial Multi-tool with Corkscrew. It has a bundle of uses, but at this time of year, it's "Crucial" use would be to open the next bottle of Merlot.

Christmas is a time for giving and it's a time when you give gifts that people might not buy themselves, but would find incredibly useful. The Folding X Bowl from Sea to Summit (no relation) is just one of those gifts.
Finally, it's all too easy to let yourself go and stop training over Christmas, so why not spend some time at least working on the theoretical aspects of sea kayak rescues by watching this well produced DVD, Sea Kayak Rescues, looking at Fast, Simple & Effective techniques.



Happy Christmas from Pete and the team here at Summit to Sea

As busy as July!!

We've had a hugely busy day over here on the Island today, demo boats out, boats sold, boats ordered, drysuits, paddles and more.

I was also busy finishing the racking for the new boats. It was a good job I went in early with so much to do today.

Today's "Deal of the Day" is the Rab Silk Sleeping Bag Liner at just £30, but the offer only lasts 24 hours. Mummy shape camping

and if you're interested in the weather, it's still really windy.
