How is the kayak packaged?

Kayaks come wrapped in a bubble wrap and plastic sheet. You don't need another padding to carry the Kayak.

Do the Kayaks stack on top of each other?

Yes, the kayaks can stack on roof racks.
We recommend travelling with them upside down and no more than two large kayaks or three small kayaks on a roof rack.
Please always check the capacity of your roof racks before loading your kayaks.

Will a kayak fit inside of my SUV or wagon?

We recommend folding the back seats down and the front seat forward and measuring the distance.

Our specifications tabs on the product page will give specific measurements.

How to find the hull thickness of the kayak?

Kayak hull thickness is 4-5mm for all Puffinn, Osprey, Nextgen 9 , Nextgen 10 and Eagle.

Does the Nextgen 10 really need a rudder? Can I leave the rudder off?

The rudder really does help, but its not essential .

The rudder comes assembled on the NextGen10 kayak, you can choose not to deploy it or not.

Which kayak is best for teenagers for leisure ?

Our Osprey or NextGen kayaks would suit best, we have plenty of customers that still use fishing kayaks for leisure .

Can I use the Double Kayak alone?

The Tandem kayaks are able to be used with a single person and there are two options for this

1. You can place one of the seats in the centre of the kayak. For the Eagle and Merlin kayaks that is the soft seat. For the Triton, the aluminium framed seat will fit in the centre.

2. You can sit in the back seat of the kayak but you will need to counterbalance the front with something with some weight such as a full cooler box.

We recommend the Nextgen 1+1 as there is dedicated space for a child or dog.

Yes the Osprey and NextGen9 can stack, the Nextgen first then the Osprey ontop.

What are the kayaks made from?

The majority of our kayaks are made from HDPE with the exception of the PedalKing range which is made from LLDPE.

What do HDPE, LDPE and LLDPE stand for?

  • Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is softer and more flexible than HDPE. It also has a lower melting point (115° C) and is more transparent. Compared to HDPE, it is more likely to crack under stress.
  • Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) is a copolymer of ethylene and another longer olefin, which is incorporated to improve properties such as tensile strength or resistance to harsh environments.
  • High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is rigid and durable and offers greater chemical resistance. Its higher melting point (135° C) allows it to withstand higher temperatures than LDPE. Its more crystalline structure also results in greater strength. It also has greater opacity which results in greater vibrancy and longer-lasting colour.
