Do you mean the bit of elastic cord with a white plastic clip at each end?
Easy enough to make up your own with some clips from Ebay or Amazon.

I binned my original Valley ones and replaced with some 2mm dyneema cord, tied to hatch cover and deck line, as they kept unclipping on their own.

Now Sold

£525 Cheddar, Somerset Yellow one in the picture (red LV already reserved) Made in Valley's renowned triple layer rotomoulded polyethylene, so very stiff and durable. This boat really is in very good condition and has hardly been used, and stored in the garage. Skeg working as it should and both hat...

Yep. Anne has emailed me and yes they have been full on with the move, so all good and order placed. Thanks for all the replies.

According to their website it's the same phone number and email address.

I've been trying to contact Karitek since Tuesday.
Nobody's answering the phone and no reply to emails or responding to phone messages left.
I hope everything is ok as they're usually very good.

Is anyone else having problems or can shed any light?

Thanks

Steve

No longer for sale as I've sold 2 other boats instead.

I would delete the post but can't work out how to do that.

New boat sorted so this no longer required.

Skim Braveheart Sea Kayak £1,050 Cheddar, Somerset Skim Braveheart 5.03m (16'6") Great all rounder very similar to Tiderace Xcite and built by the same company that used to make Tiderace. This is in the Rockhopper spec (heavy duty, extra stiff) and rrp now is about £3500. Has the usual scratches and...

As above,

I've got a standard Whisky 16 and love it, but it's been pretty well used now and I'd love a "younger" one and Prolite would be great.

Based in Somerset but will travel.

The V8 hull is very similar to the Epic 18X which I found slightly less stable than the Epic 16x, the most stable is the 18x Sport. I bought the 16x as I didn't want a Taran and also wanted a fast 16ft ish sea kayak, as I find in the real world they're just as fast as 18s but more versatile. When I ...

I was asking a similar thing last year. Coming from sea kayaking I wanted a "beginner" ski. Please bear in mind stability in ski terms is somewhat different to sea kayak stability. What they class as stable is like sitting on a log! I have an Epic 16x kayak so wanted something that would be a like a...

I've replied and told them exactly what I think of it (for what that's worth). Seems like taking lots of money for very little in return to me, as well as a U turn on making the most of very experienced and highly skilled paddlers who have chosen not to get bits of paper! Our club is already talking...

Anybody seen one in the flesh or better still paddled one? Specs, dimensions, rocker etc look pretty good. I believe it's a Mega badged Zegul/Tahe but can't find anything on their site which matches the description. Might have to arrange a visit/paddle. http://www.surfkayaks.com/product.php?producti...

Some more for the list Epic 18x and 18x Sport (the sport is more stable and speed difference is negligible) Taran 16 in the real world just as fast as the 18 and more manoeuvrable Epic 16x I bought one of these when my mate bought a Taran 16. Nothing between them re speed. Epic sails a bit faster an...

As above for use on an expedition so ideally with either a drop seat or hinged waist.

Thanks

As above. For use on an expedition so ideally with either a drop seat or hinged waist.

Thanks

For your weight it will be too big unless fully loaded.
There's a North Shore Atlantic for sale on Facebook Used kayaks

or a very nice looking Tiderace Xplore MV on the for sale page on here.

Pete who now owns Mega used to be a partner in kayakingkit.com and imported Tahe and Zegul boats. I bought both a Tahe Greenland T and later a Zegul Greenland GT from them. Both great boats. Re the Viking I have one and do like it. Glynn Brackenbury used one for his Lands End John O'Groats trip. Min...

All boats now sold

Both now sold

Just the Orange/Red Small Stratos left now £500

Paddles are just simple Carlisle 1 piece alloy shaft sea paddles. I was happy to pretty much give them away with the boats as postage would be quite expensive.

Oops. I'm in Cheddar, Somerset

2x Dagger Stratos (small) 1x Orange/Red used 3 times, usual superficial scratches from launching -- £550 1x Red pretty well used but in very good condition, usual scratches but nothing deep. £400 I also have spray decks, paddles and helmets if anyone wants a bundle to get started. https://media.ukri...

Thanks but we're sorted. Sorry for not updating.

Just the two small Stratos left now.

Not paddled the 16 Cruiser but I own a 16x and love it. I replaced the standard seat for an Aries one which also lowered the centre of gravity and added a little stability. It's a fast boat, great for long distance or multi day trips, but also manoeuvrable enough for day trips. Great in rough water,...
