KIDS KAYAKS

KWANDO

The Kwando kids kayak is made for children but it is definitely not just a floating toy. With this kayak, children can cut their teeth on flat water and easy rivers by learning basic paddle strokes and skills. It has the performance and the features of our adult boats – just packaged in a size that a child can physically manage.  Paddle Cutaways allow for a full natural stroke without the paddle blade grazing the sides of the deck. Its sculpted seat is designed for comfort and with both feet together in the foot-well, this kayak is ergonomically suited to a correct paddling style.

The 8″ Screw Hatch gives access to watertight storage in the rear of the deck, which, together with the tank-well, provides sufficient storage volume for children to pack their own gear for single or multi-day adventures.  The Bottle Holder, located in front of the seat, ensures that a beverage is accessible and they will certainly stow their paddle using the paddle-rest when they stop to chat or stand-up on the flat Stand-up Platform to pose for photographs.

The Kwando can be carried using the Handles positioned on the front, back and sides.  Children will develop a passion for paddling with a kayak that has been designed to suit their needs. The Kwando is easy to keep moving in a straight line, quick to respond to turning strokes and a pleasure to paddle.

SINGLE KAYAKS

TSOMO

Designed for stability and comfort, the Stealth Tsomo is the shortest and widest adult’s sit-on-top.  Its compact length makes it convenient to transport on the roof racks of a sedan or on the back of a bakkie (aka ‘pickup truck’). It is also easy to store if storage space is a concern. Naturally, the smaller size and lighter weight compared to the longer models in our line-up make it easy to carry around and load on top of roof racks.

Tsomo is alert, playful and responsive. It turns on a dime, cruises on flat water and is a pleasure to paddle. It is not designed to win any races, but it has plenty of speed and glides for such a short sit-on-top. Its width aids stability – a welcome feature when the wind whips up the water.  Its large tank-well allows you to transport a decent volume of gear, a child or a large dog. Use the front 8″ Screw Hatch for items that need to stowed away even more securely.

The paddle-rest on the one side and Bottle Holder on the other side of the seat makes it easy to stay hydrated and keep your hands free when you’re not paddling.

Like the other kayaks in our range of sit-on-tops, the Tsomo has a sculpted seat and a foot-well that sits lower than the seat for all-day comfort. You might not want to paddle a long distance with this short sit-on-top, but you will be able to spend hours on it.

TSOMO ANGLER 275

The Tsomo Angler 275 has all the great qualities of the Tsomo together with fishing-specific features.  At 2.75m long and 80cm wide, the Tsomo Angler is compact and convenient to transport. This is a playful kayak that is responsive to paddle strokes. It turns on a dime, cruises on flat water and is a pleasure to paddle.

The large tank-well has Crate-holding Indents. These hold a crate or cooler box in place so that it doesn’t slide around in the tank-well. Use Bungee Cord, tie-downs or rope and our Multi-fit fittings to secure your gear. With the tank-well and 8″ Screw Hatch, you can stow all the gear you need for a long day of fishing.  The Tsomo Angler comes standard with two Rod Holders, which are located behind the seat. Each rod holder has a Multi-fit positioned close by for securing your rods while paddling.

Aluminium Deck Rails are installed on either side of the stand-up platform to attach fittings like a fish finder, rod holder, GPS and other accessories. Using these, you can customize and personalize the deck for your activities. To complete the angler capabilities of the Tsomo, an Anchor Trolley is also installed on the right side of the kayak. Use this to position your anchor to keep the boat in the perfect location and angle.  The Tsomo Angler 275 is perfect if you don’t need to paddle long distances and/or do not have storage space for a longer boat. It is also a great all-round fishing kayak for older children and young teens.

TARKA

At almost three-and-a-half meters in length and with enough width to ensure stability on the sea and on choppy waters, the Tarka is a versatile kayak. We’ve loaded it with features to ensure performance and comfort – everything you need from a high-performance, recreational kayak.  The Tarka has two watertight 8″ Screw Hatches and a large rear tank-well to store and protect gear for overnight adventures. Multi-fits and Bungee Cord on the bow deck add additional storage space for lighter items.

For hours spent out on the water, you’ll want comfort. The smooth surface of our sculpted seat is shaped and angled to support your rear and reduce pressure on the back of your thighs. This is further improved by the position of the foot-well, which lies slightly lower than the seat. Adjustable Footrests accommodate paddlers of just about any height.  The Paddle Cutaways are a distinctive feature of our kayak range. They not only allow the kayak to feel narrower than it is, they allow for a full, natural paddle stroke without the paddle blade connecting with the side of the kayak.

The Paddle Rest on the one side and Bottle Holder on the other side of the seat makes it easy to stay hydrated and keep your hands free when you’re not paddling.  This is a great kayak for teens and smaller sized adults, and it is a perfect ‘next kayak’ for older children that have outgrown the Kwando.

TARKA ANGLER 340

We’ve added angling-specific features to the versatile Tarka Angler 340 so that you can enjoy speed and maneuverability in a customizable fishing kayak. Deck Rails allow you to personalize the deck by attaching items like a fish finder, GPS, camera, selfie stick or additional rod holders on either side of the Sculpted Seat. Fixed to the rails, you don’t need to worry about these valuable items being washed overboard.

Two flush-mounted Rod Holders are located behind the seat, on either side of the 8″ Screw Hatch. These rod holders free up your hands when you need to paddle, de-hook a fish or take the time-out from fishing to have a drink or to eat. Each rod holder has a Multi-fit positioned close by for securing your rods while paddling.  By attaching your anchor to the Anchor Trolley, you can spend all day in that prime fishing stop without drifting away on the current. Slide the anchor forward or backward to get the boat at the perfect angle as determined by the sun, wind, and currents.

Like the standard Tarka, this Tarka Angler 340 has adjustable Footrests, a Paddle Rest, Bungee Cord straps to secure gear to the bow and a sizeable tank-well with Crate-Holding Indents.  The Tarka Angler 340 speed and weight carrying capacity makes it very suitable for paddling anglers who want to cover some distance, do some trawling and catch fish without loading a ton of stuff on the boat. It is also great for teenagers and smaller adults who don’t want to deal with a larger boat.

KASAI

Sleek, fast and extremely stable, the Kasai is a playful and versatile single-seater, sit-on-top kayak. Paddle this kayak daily for sport and fitness or take it out on weekends or on vacation to paddle on dams, rivers and out at sea.  Although the Kasai is forgiving and is suited to the casual, recreational paddler, those with more experience will appreciate its responsiveness. Its hull is designed to glide, track and to change direction with only a few paddle strokes.

Paddlers will welcome the paddle cutaways that make this kayak feel narrower than it is. These cutaways allow for a full, natural paddle stroke without bashing the paddle blade against the side of the deck. Put your back into paddling with your feet positioned together in the foot-well and place your feet on the Footrests to leverage each stroke.

Another treasured feature on the Stealth Kasai is the flat Stand-up Platform in front of the seat. Where one can often get onto the water by sliding in on your kayak, getting out can be an inelegant challenge. Now, there is no need to wait for someone to help you out. Place your feet squarely on the platform and stand-up to step off.  The Paddle Rest on the one side and Bottle Holder on the other side of the seat makes it easy to stay hydrated and keep your hands free when you’re not paddling.  Be a vagabond and embark on adventures with your gear stowed in the 8″ Screw Hatches and tank-well of your Kasai.

KASAI ANGLER 400

The Stealth Kasai Angler 400 has all the features of it’s sibling but with the fishing-specific fittings attached. Two Rod Holders are positioned next to the hatches (8″ Day Hatch and 8″ Screw Hatch), behind the seat. Swing yourself around, with your legs hanging over the side, to access the hatches and to work with your rods.

Use the Deck Rails, which are positioned on either side of the seat, to customize your setup by attaching gadgets like cameras, GPS units, and fish finders. An anchor-trolley is also installed on the right side of the kayak. Use this to position your anchor to keep the boat in the perfect location and angle.  Stretch your legs without making landfall by standing up on our Stand-up Platform. While you’re up, use the advantage of your height-above-water to view your surroundings. The platform is also stable enough for just about anyone to stand and cast from.

The large rear tank-well has crate-holding Indents to hug a crate. Attach tie-downs, straps or bungee cords to the multi-fits positioned around the tank-well to secure your gear and prevent it being washed overboard by a rogue wave.  The Kasai Angler 400 can carry a lot of weight. If you want to load a lot of gear or intend to catch some big fish and take them home, this boat is the ticket. The boat has good speed too, so it is great for covering longer distances and for trawling bait-lures too.

MARIMBA

The Marimba is all about speed. It is not a racing kayak, of course, but as far as recreational sit-on-tops go, this is probably the fastest on the market.  The hull is sleek and it glides well. It has been designed to cover long distances. It is easy to keep on track, yet takes minimal effort to turn. The bow cuts through choppy water, and the peaked, high-volume deck resurfaces quickly when punching through waves.

Apart from being fast, it is also very stable. The hull is designed to handle ocean swell, open water crossings and also moving water. Even when you get tired and your technique sloppy, you can be sure that your stability won’t be compromised.  The deck is typical of all the Stealth sit-on-tops. It has a really comfortable Seat and the feet are positioned lower than the bum, making it easy to sit in it for hours. It has the full range of features and fittings that you find on most of our sit-on-tops, like three 8” Hatches, loads of multi-fits and bungee cords, a paddle-rest, six carry-handles, scupper-venturis  and an adjustable, sturdy footrest.

The paddle-cutaways on the deck, combined with the narrower hull, results in a very natural paddling stroke. If you are a racing paddler used to a wing paddle, this is a rec kayak that absolutely allows proper wing paddling technique.  If you want a sit-on-top kayak that is fast, stable, easy to paddle, great for fitness training, and capable of paddling long distances and multi-day expeditions, the Marimba is as good as you can get. If you are considering a rudder… careful….  watch this short video first!

MARIMBA ANGLER 450

The Marimba Angler 450 is really all about speed. It has the similar carrying capacity to the Kasai Angler, but it is faster. This makes it a great trawling kayak, and also ideal for fishing trips where you have to cover long distances. To create the Angler 450, we took the standard Marimba which already has a bunch of features that make it a great boat for anglers and added some angling-specific fittings to it.  Two flush-mounted Rod Holders are located behind the seat. Each rod holder has a multi-fitt positioned close by for securing your rods while paddling. deck-rails allow you to personalize the deck by attaching items like a fish finder, GPS, camera or a selfie stick or on either side of the Sculpted Seat. An Anchor Trolley is also installed on the right side of the kayak.

Like the standard Marimba, the Angler 450 has adjustable Footrests, a Paddle Rest, Bungee Cord straps to secure gear to the bow and a sizeable tank-well with crate-holding Indents. The Bottle Holder is positioned behind the seat, in the middle of a larger pocket where a hydration bladder can be fixed. It also features the scupper-venturis that make paddling long distances through choppy waters a pleasure.  To recap, if speed and trawling is your main priority, this is the boat for you. In addition, if you want one boat that you can use for fishing as well as fitness training, choose the Angler 450.

DOUBLE (2 SEAT) KAYAKS

MAZOWE DUO  &  MAZOWE DUO ANGLER 430

Perfect for families and friends who like to paddle together, nothing can beat the Mazowe.

The Mazowe 2-seter double kayak will forever change your perception of what a double sit-on-top is actually capable of. This kayak, carrying two people and their gear, can really move! Its hull is designed to reduce drag, maintain a straight course and respond quickly to paddle strokes to change direction.  The Mazowe’s most valuable feature is that there is a substantial distance between the seats of the front and rear paddlers to give the rear paddler enough space for a full paddle stroke without worrying that their paddle will hit the front paddler. Paddle cutaways – for both paddlers – mean that both can enjoy a full paddle stroke without clipping the paddle blade against the deck.

The Mazowe is designed to carry two people with their gear stowed on the deck. That’s why we’ve got a sizeable tank-well behind the rear paddler and we’ve let the foot-well of the rear paddler flow into another tank-well in the middle of the boat to maximize the available storage space.  multi-fits around the tank-wells serve as attachment points for tie-downs, bungee cords, ropes and clips to strap-down gear on the deck. The 8″ Screw Hatch at the front is watertight and it is ideal for items that need to be stowed away more securely. Each paddler also has a paddle-rest, to secure their paddle to the deck when hands are needed, as well as bottle holders.  Where double sit-on-top kayaks are concerned, the Mazowe is a game changer.

Also available as an Angler version…. the Mazowe 430 Duo
