Have Oti and I completed our quest to find the perfect kayak for us?!
It certainly looks promising.......
An Australian company that is branching out into the UK, could this be the one for us?
We're looking for stability, durability, ease of handling, great tracking, comfort and a bit of speed - surely not too big an ask?! 😁
Comparison's made with current kayak, Itiwit 100X.

Comparisons made with:
I've had an Itiwit 100X for a couple of months - a lot to love, but the fin box is vulnerable, and I really did want something that I can chuck in the car through the winter and not worry.
It's also a little slow on the water, but not by much.
Aquaglide Chelan I absolutely loved when I tried it last week..... £300 more though, and when I saw it bagged up there was zero chance that I could carry it anywhere or even lift into the car easily!
Sandbanks explorer, just wrong design for me.
Brilliantly made, great customer service but far too tippy.
Gumotex Thaya, again £300 more, and none in show rooms to even sit in.
Spinera - just nowhere near the tracking that I'm looking for, great price point though.
I dismissed the Seyvlors due to drying time, though I have now seen they've brought out a non cloth covered one?
