The Medium Karnali lands on Anglesey

It's here and we're ready to let you demo Pyranhas latest river runner. Fresh out of the mold, the medium has landed on Anglesey. It's got the same great outfitting as the Burn, but with a displacement hull it should be a great river runner, I know that the bigger guys have been loving the large one that's been available since September.

I'll let you know how I get on with this once I've had a chance to get it wet!

Scorpio LV Bargains

Now we've secured stock of the Scorpio LV, perfect for the smaller paddler looking for a stable boat with great performance. Again these are cosmetic seconds with minor imperfections. Nine times out of ten, you won't even spot them. None of the imperfections affect the boats handling and with a massive £200 off RRP, you won't regret buying one.

Get in quick, because when they're gone, they're gone!

Scorpio Bargains

Barely has this new boat hit the water and we've secured stock of some cosmetic seconds. RRP is £1,199 and we're able to offer these (while they last) at £999.

A full 12 month warranty with them and the opportunity to bag a bargain on one of the most comfortable, stable and yet still responsive boats you'll find.

They've got to be worth a look at that price and I don't expect to have them in stock for long.

What a difference a month makes!!

August Bank Holiday was very nearly a washout, but at least some of the hardy Spice members who travelled over to the sunshine isle (Anglesey), got one good day.







Here are they are preparing to leave Porthdafarch to paddle round to Treardur Bay on their second day, it was a bit lumpy, but Nick (their coach for the day had them under control).


This weekend looks much nicer, I'll be spending it concreting again, only 25 cubic metres to go!

Seal of Approval

Sunday morning saw me take advantage of a window in the weather to break away from working for a few hours and take the Scorpio & Cetus out for a couple of hours. The sunshine was glorious and Baggy and I looked over the Menai Straits at low water, they were like glass.

I was in the Scorpio again and allowed Baggy the opportunity for the Cetus' maiden voyage. He was very impressed with it's comfort, stability, speed and ease of turning.

We blasted up to Puffin Island, played with the currents there as the tide began to flood the straits again. Then we shot up to the Northern end of the Island, there were a lot of seals about, many young ones, which seemed the more inquisitive, at one point as I sat still watching them, one pup came closer and closer to my kayak until it eventually touched the side of my boat adjacent to the cockpit with it's nose. Amazing!!

We flew back down the straits in our speedy boats and finished up with a quick spot of rolling practice (use it or lose it). I was back just in time for Sunday Roast!

It's been a while

...because I've been busy with construction projects, web development projects and of course trying out the new boats that we're now stocking, I'll add a few posts to the blog over the next few days showing all of the new boats and giving some feedback on how they've handled.

I'll start with the Scorpio, for a plastic boat, it's so fast!! It's incredibly stable, yet turns very quickly, has plenty of storage space and the deck hatch is a work of genius, no more deckbags cluttering up my deck!!

I found the outstretched leg position incredibly comfortable (I find sitting in my river kayak makes my hamstrings really tight). After paddling this I was hooked and couldn't wait to get my hands on it's slightly more refined older sister, the Cetus.

We paddled out from Moelfre, to Ynys Dulas (we only had a quick window to paddle, I had concrete to lay), stopped at the Island for a quick coffee and to provide the Seals with some entertainment, played on the overfalls briefly and then shot back to Moelfre. All in all a pleasant break from working and an opportunity to realise just how good the Scorpio really is!

Still it beats working for a living!!

Bargains Galore

We've just taken delivery of a number of rudder ready P&H Capella Sea Kayaks.

They're slightly older stock which means that we're able to offer them with a good discount over newer boats. RRP on the Capella is £1,099, we're able to offer these beauties at £850, bearing in mind that second-hand ones sell on ebay for £500-800 each depending on condition, we think this is a pretty sweet deal.

Drop us a line if you need to know more?

A New Arrival

Friday saw us take delivery of our newest addition to the family, a P&H Scorpio sea kayak.

This RM Corelite plastic version of the highly regarded Cetus looks stunning and I can't wait to get on the water with it. Here's hoping for a couple of free hours tomorrow afternoon.

It's available as a demo boat from our base here on Anglesey.

Drop me a line if you want to book it!

Starting Out

Saturday saw us having a nice family day at the beach. It gave me the opportunity to give my daughter her first taste of kayaking.

She sat in the cockpit of my Quest with me and had a great time, apparently, she saw Nemo (from Finding Nemo) and some divers. It's great to have some imagination.

The sea was flat calm, after a 20 minute paddle around Borthwen with our daughters, Mark and I blasted off towards Treardur Bay for a quick run out and back again.

A great day off and a special one for me to be able to share with my oldest.
