Looks like a Nemo. Not sure it has a front bulkhead...may depend on which exact model..

Sorry for the tabloid quality topic title!! I find that I definitely need a bit of additional 'tack' on my paddle shaft, especially when paddling hard or in trickier conditions. I currently use surfboard wax which works fine but I just wondered if anyone out there had a better/alternative that they ...

I'm not an expert on this subject but i would definitely lean towards the longer type of boat. There are lots of articles on fishing from kayaks on Google and they tend to use ones like the Ocean Kayak Prowler which is 13 feet long...i would think 12 or 13ft would be ideal as they will track in a st...

Had an email this morning from Palm who have taken over the manufacture of VE Paddles with availability as from the Autumn as follows: We want you to be the first to know that Palm Equipment has taken over VE Paddles. The paddles will be made in the UK, at our Clevedon factory and will be available ...

Hi Amy, I had one when I first started kayaking. They were bulletproof in terms of construction however they are very heavy. You would also be very wise to make sure you got one with bulkheads as there is a lot of space to fill up with water if you don't. I also found it a bit of a monster to try to...

Interesting...I hoped my post would generate discussion.

It would appear that in principal it is now possible to kayak in England only but a fair point about involvement of the rescue services...
Would swimming in the sea be viewed in the same way?

I believe....

Boris says I can go kayaking....

Why on earth would they do that!!! Is it a temporary measure during lockdown when not as many people on the water?

I second what Pathbrae has advised... I bought a Delphin 150 a few years back having read lots of reviews on how good they were and that they had the Connect outfitting for a really nice fit when paddling. Having paddled for quite a few years I mistakenly thought I was a good enough judge not to hav...

Just to advise that all the links to the Christian Canoe club make my Norton Internet Security go crazy with the following message: Dangerous Web Page BlockedYou attempted to access:http://christiancanoe.co.uk/faq/This is a known dangerous web page.

Have a look at the Reed Aquatherm stuff...https://www.chillcheater.com/dry-cags
very light and exceptionally tough. Can be washed in a washing machine. I always use mine in preference to the 'normal' paddling top that I have.

For me it was the 'lift music' accompaniment that had me pleading for the presenter to say something instead.....

May be worth putting further details of Nick Gates details and where he is as others may want to use his services..

Rog.

Fantastic !!.

Looks like the main hazard was getting hit by another boat..

Rog.

as always.......

If anyone manages a test paddle I would love to hear a report..

i guess it's shame it's not being used....that said, it does look beautiful as a piece of art..!

Hi Fozzy,

I believe it is a Mega branded Tahe. I had a chat to them about the Mega Greenland which is a re-branded version of the Tahe Greenland so would suspect that the Axis is the same. Well worth having a chat with them for more info.

Rog.

May be an idea to have a rudimentary compass with you in future. Depending on where you are, paddling in the wrong direction could be very hazardous to health.

Rog.

Have a chat with Whitewater who are in Shepperton and have all the ones you are interested in and can arrange for test paddles.

Just read Liz Garnett's piece about the trip in this month's Ocean Paddler. Certainly brings it home what an epic trip this was. Very nicely written by Liz.

Rog.

and, back on topic...... it may be worth you asking about Mega's quality control and customer service on the Surf section as they are better known for their surf boats:

So,.... just a little bit off subject...does anyone know if the Greenland and Greenland T in their range are the same as the ones that used to be produced by Tahe. Don't recall seeing them in Mega's line up previously and they look very similar. Rog. Just an update on my own question..rang Mega and ...

It may be worth contacting VE to see what they are able to do. I know that they have stopped trading for the present but believe that they may be available for repairs....possibly!!

Rog.

I believe a similar thing is being seriously considered at Newquay in Cornwall. Probably worth looking at their website https://spaceportcornwall.com/ and discussions on the internet about that to get an viewpoint from an alternative location. Can't see the benefit of having two separate ones in UK ...

I wonder about 'experienced guys' letting you attempt to surf in water like that. It does sound like a recipe for serious injury (to you and anyone near you) and I wouldn't fancy attempting a rescue if it went wrong. Putting a 17' heavy boat plus paddler in waves that are 50% taller than an average ...

My thought would be that in conditions like that you would have very little hope of being in control enough to surf a sea kayak. With waves that large and particularly that close together and with a strong onshore breeze the boat (due to its length) will almost invariably dig in at the bow and then ...

Any deck that will fit the Alaw Bach will fit the Isel.

I would suspect that people look at the post and follow the link to Facebook then see no point in coming back to comment via the post to on this site whereas posts like the one on towing eyes by their nature look for a response and those that respond will look at the same post again and again.
