The second generation of arguably the most influential whitewater kayak of the last ten years. A difficult second album or another smash hit? Time will be the judge but based on Pyranha’s recent successes with 9R, Ozone and Scorch I’m confident enough to have a personal order in place already.

Tootega Kayaks Range Overview | Which model is right for you?
Tootega kayaks is a small company based in Attleborough, Norfolk. We have known the owners, Steve & James, for many years and their passion for quality products and growing paddlesport participation is unrivalled. Our staff have been lucky to visit their factory and have always been blown away by their attention to detail, coming away with a desire to support both Tootega and UK manufacturing more generally. Prior to the formation of the brand, Steve and James designed and manufactured at many popular kayak brands and have taken the positives from each. It is therefore unsurprising that models like Kinetic, Pulse and Prophecy have become industry leaders. Tootega were the first brand to introduce a lifetime warranty on their products, just one example of how they are striving for perfection. Read on to find out more about their range and which kayak is correct for your circumstances and aspirations.
Aquaglide Deschutes Inflatable Kayak | The latest addition to our range
To say we’re fans of Aquaglide inflatable kayaks is something of an understatement. For several years they have been the mainstay of our range, with names such as Chinook and Chelan facilitating hundreds of enjoyable hours on the water. Aquaglide’s history is closely associated with the production of large scale inflatable water based playgrounds. Knowledge gained in this area, specifically the heavy wear and tear of commercial use, has certainly aided the evolution of their kayaks and resulted in excellent durability. With what was already an extensive range of boats our staff questioned what could come next. Not ones to rest on their laurels, we soon hard about the Deschutes. The crucial question….. is it any good?
The Aquaglide Chelan Inflatable Kayak | is this premium choice right for you?
The Aquaglide Chelan has been a popular choice in store for a number of years. While the remainder of Aquaglide’s range was revised for 2020, the brand chose to take its time with its most highly coveted touring kayak. The results are now in and it’s fair to say our staff are impressed. Read on to find out why.
