Closed cockpit kayaks open up a world of paddling possibilites with the ability to keep water out and you afloat anything is possible.

Peak Shop offers a range of Closed Cockpit kayaks for different needs.  For those looking to enjoy relatively calm waters with some abilities to carry your suppliers for a day or two then touring kayaks make an ideal solution.

Touring Kayaks from Venture Kayaks are constructed from Poly Ethylene more robust than glass fibre boats and moulds can be made to suit beginner kayakers with stable hull shapes and easy access cockpits.  Boats such as the Easky range are made to get you on the water exploring with ease.  Stow hatches with a sealed bulk head keep your equipment dry even in the unlikely event of a capsize.  The Flip top seat gives great support with 2 size setting for a more relaxed seating position.

General Purpose Kayaks from Pyranha mouldings are ideally suited at a paddler looking for their first boat with a focus of learning the skills needed to take then onto more challenging waters.  The boats are ideally suited at club users and the prices reflect this.  With Features on these boats being more basic than the River running boats makes these models £200 cheaper than our other kayaks.

The kayaks come with all standard saftey features such as supportive back rest, thigh braces and adjustable foot rests.  When selecting a general purpose kayak it is important to find a boat which suits your height and weight as learning skills in a boat which is stuggling to float you will make the boat very unstable.  When you skill level is in the development stages you need all the hlep you can get with a well fitted stable boat to progress your skills. Don't be tempted to but a sporty looking playboat if you have not yet mastered the basics it will only hinder your progression.

River Running and Play Boats from Pyranaha, Jackson Kayaks and Riot kayaks are the top end of kayak performance each with it's own speciality.  The question I would ask would be what do you wish to acheive with this kayak? ie . are you looking to become a Freestyle paddler mainly on hole features, if so then perhaps a Jackson Kayak fit your needs and goals better.  Should you be looking for more focus on paddling on waves on the rivers and the sea then a Riot Kayak has a notouriosly fast hull design with options for fins making this a ideal solution.  River running boats and Pryranha offer some outstanding kayaks with great saftey features and sharp freindly hull shapes.  Pyranha have their C30 seating system for added contact to the paddler increasing performance and saftey with climbing grade grab loops.
