An entry point for the ambitious kayaker, or the world's best second boat.....
Some of the biggest adventures, & most spectacular rough water photos have been taken over the past 2 years in the boats in our range that rarely grab the headlines, the Valley Rotomoulded Kayaks. These boats have been eagerly snapped up in the Australian market by kayakers looking to begin their paddling career 'the right way' & develop boat handling skills in a design that responds properly to correctly applied technique. They've also become a fantastic second boat for paddlers who already own a long hauler, maybe with a rudder, who likewise have been looking for something which can help them reach their skills potential, withour busting the budget. In a kayak market flooded with 'commodity' plastic kayaks, the Valley range stand out for their unassailable build quality and rough water heritage. We have good stock in all colours of the sleek Nordkapp, the great allrounders the Aquanaut HV & Aquanaut LV & the play cult boat the Avocet. Priced at $2595, they represent fantastic value for true British boat performance, and excellence in manufacture. Click on the image to see the specs & boat descriptions for the Valley RM range. |
