After two solid years of R&D, we can finally announce a series of successful sea trials of our new foiling sea kayak rudder, The Velocimiser. Whilst only so far tested on the Audax, a fast and slippery hull that is easy enough to get up to foiling speed, we do believe it has the potential to revolutionise range in conventionally shaped sea kayaks. Based around the same principles of 'wing style lift' from ancient Greenland paddles, we've developed a shape that we think even the Inuit would find pleasing, especially when they discovered they could suddenly chase after Narwhals ..read more

We're occasionally asked if the Audax is just a surfski with a sea kayak deck, usually followed by our explanation that you can't just do that, because sea kayaks have to carry the paddler and a lot of gear, and surf skis only have to carry the paddler. In fact skis don't have hulls designed to carry weight anywhere except where the paddler is sitting, and when you do load them with weight elsewhere, they are a very different animal, and not a very nice one at that. We've done the experiment...! When we designed the Audax we wanted a sea kayak that was as stable as the new breed of entry l ..read more

2020 has been a wild ride for paddlers, with many around the country forced from the water as lockdown restrictions were put in place to stem the potential for pandemic outbreaks. Here in NSW, at the critical moment, our peak body negotiated a sensible deal with the health authorities which kept us paddling. Paddlers responded in turn by being......sensible! No incidents, nobody being seen to do the wrong thing, and the result was a winter of uninterrupted paddling in pairs through the most serious stages of lockdown. The benefit of this advocacy flowed through to all paddlers, regardless o ..read more

We have never considered a decision to buy a product made locally as something motivated by 'patriotism' or some vague nationalist intention. It's the reason you don't see us putting our Australian Made credentials front & centre, because we'd prefer that our products stood on their own merits.  Rather, if something made locally is as good, or obviously if it's better than the import, then we'd hope consumers would take a hard look at the local product.  Whilst we began our business importing British sea kayaks, and continue to bring in the very best quality gear from brands r ..read more
