We are the only place to offer exciting Open Freestyle boats in the world.
As the sport is so niche, we have been working hard to make these boats both affordable and enjoyable, catering for all size of paddler. As the boats are designed to paddle with over 40kg of water in including the paddler, the paddler weight range is vast.
