Sponsored paddlers

Sea Kayaking UK are proud to sponsor some of the Worlds greatest paddlers. Other highly experienced paddlers are using Nigel's boats as they have been specifically designed for advanced conditions. This has led to the set up of Sea Kayaking UK's Sponsored Paddlers. The Sponsored Paddlers give valuable feed back on their practical experience so a continuous process of development can take place. An example of this is Chris Duff who circumnavigated Japan and New Zealand's North Island and put the Explorer through some of its most severe testing.
