Autumn 2010

With SCA Paddle 2010 drawing close on the 23rd 24th Oct we have been working really hard to get tons of stock in for you to purchase. As well as of course those bargains we all like to hunt out.
We will be having a bit of a yard sale at the shop. Selling of a few of our ex demo boats. At the Show Stand we will have some great clearance lines as well as current stock.

We are expecting a large Palm order to be with us for the weekend too.

So what else have we been up too. Cam got a chance to go out to the annual Trade only show in Nuremberg Germany to go check out the shiny new kit due out next year.


Ben the Technical Rep from Palm/ Dagger here giving us the low down on the new gear due out Spring next year.


Ben showing us the finer details of the new Palm Alaska Touring Paddle Top. Not only has it got a hand warmer pocket you can use it as a hat!!!


Valley had on show their much anticipated for Aspect. Targeted at the touring kayaker who wants performance from a compact price friendly package. It looks great too.



Yak, known for their paddling equipment and above Loz our Stockport Manager is being shown some of the new colours for next year. Black is apparently the new black.



Prijon have 3 sizes of their new Pure creeker and Alex from Prijon was keen to show us the finer details. Blow moulded technology that Prijon continue to use gives amazing strength. Craig, Manager from our Lancaster Store, was really quite impressed and excited about it. So look out for a Prijon Pure on the Lake District Becks this winter......



Hazel, Designer for Nookie was there and showing off the gear she has been working on for the last 12 months. Yes that's right these poor designers are working away now on gear that we won't see till 2012 and beyond.

So after what is a really hard long few days of meetings and talking shop, we had seen some great new products and look forward to 2011. There is a bit of doom and gloom in the world just now but it is engouraging to see the Kanumesse trade show grow year on year. So people are still out there paddling and wanting new technologies and new products. We are proud to supply the kit we do and look forward to showing you it when it arrives next year.

In the meantime look out for some great winter offers, 7 days a week opening and late night opening on a Thursday. Details on this next week.
