Oban sea kayaks. The Virgo will have to be very good to tempt me away from the Stratos, which for the price is a lovely kayak, ok the hatches aren't that great and its only single layer plastic, but its a great sporty little kayak, depends what you want to do though, it would be less than ideal for ...

What about the new Virgo ? Haven’t tested one yet but hear good things, will be trying one in August along with the Zegul arrow play and others, meanwhile i will enjoy my Stratos

Any chance of a picture and an idea of what model this is please ?
Thanks

The day hatch behind the cockpit is of limited appeal to me, would rather have a bigger space for trolley etc, the little hatch in front of the cockpit more useful for cameras, snacks etc.

Now on P&H website

May be worth looking at the point 65 range of sit ons, these are sectional can be taken apart, so if you have the 2 seater, you can leave one section out to make it a solo kayak.

I wouldn’t expect them to have permanent IT staff, but would expect than when introducing a new product that they would try and market it, with the internet being the most obvious way with the widest audience. I did have a reply from P&H regarding the Virgo, they are still finalising certain details...

Heres a pic of the Virgo, looks interesting, demoing one in August

I am not on Facebook either and never will be, i understand 99.9% of people are but you would think a company trying to sell products and make money in 2019 would update their websites, can’t be that hard ? Or maybe it is....

Looking at getting some info on new designs such as the new Northshore evolution range, Rockpool bach and the P&H virgo/glassversion of virgo, we know they are out there so why don’t the manufacturers have up to date info on their new models ? Seems odd that they would not be promoting these models ...

Solva harbour at full tide is quite a big area, turn right at the end and you will find an impressive arch, turn left and theres a cave you can go right through but be careful if theres any swell, don’t be tempted to go out to Green scar island as its always windy coming back, even if there was no w...

Anyone know who the dealers are for Zegul ? The Arrow play looks really interesting.

This could be the one to tempt me back to a composite kayak.

I believe they are, according to my sauces

Thanks for that, the Virgo, found this pic, based on the Scorpio, only shorter, just over 15 ft, seems the foredeck hatch is an optional extra

The Vela is an old model no longer in production, maybe its being resurrected ?

Don’t think so, its a more regular sea kayak, only started production this week

I have been told that P&H are bring out a new model, maybe a slightly shorter sea kayak, any info or pics anyone ?

It is, perfect for pottering around the coast, surfing and easier rivers, though have seem a video of one being used in grade 4, if you have Instagram look at liquidfusion, they use them for fairly extreme rock hopping. I had a mate try mine who had used SOT kayaks and he loved it. You can try mine,...

I think the FB lot just divided into small groups who just do their own thing, when i was paddling with them it seemed to be going a bit “hardcore” for my tastes, I tried organising a few more relaxed trips but most people seemed to want epic trips, or big distance, so i gave up with them and paddle...

There is sea kayak Cymru on facebook, they organise trips, I would also suggest getting in touch with Escape watersports or Up and under, they both have demo sea kayaks to try. Coming from a Tarpon maybe try something like the Dagger Stratos, not a full on sea kayak but a great design that will do m...

The Atlantic LV started life as the Shoreline, quite a long time ago, it had just two small round hatches, newer versions played with large fibreglass hatches (shoreline fuego) and has now settled on its current deck layout, in my experience the Romany felt very different, unfortunately they seemed ...

Bathtub with seats, ebay £750

After years of trying to get hold of this kayak, the importers will finally be bringing this kayak to the UK from march 2019, its a play the sea type kayak designed by Nigel Foster, supposedly super agile, the rocker version is similar to the composite model which isn’t currently beiing produced and...

Obsolete? No, some of the “older” designs are considered classics with good reason, I think Valley have gone back to the original hull on their latest Nordkapp, after years of dicking about with it, and its good to see something other than Valley and P&h on the water !

The Ynys was featured a lot in Nigel Fosters original sea kayaking book, heres some images. https://media.ukriversguidebook.co.uk/uploads/62252/1535824663591-0338.png https://media.ukriversguidebook.co.uk/uploads/62252/1535824663572-9432.png https://media.ukriversguidebook.co.uk/uploads/62252/153582...
