Tahe Marine Kayaks
If there is one kayak manufacturer who seems to have
captured the imagination of sea kayakers around the world, it's the clever
& innovative Tahe Marine from northern Europe. Their Greenland design in
particular seems to have had a major hand in re-igniting the interest in
Greenland paddling & rolling, with its clean low-volume lines & sexy
black finish. The Tahe plant is a brand new, cutting edge kayak building
facility, and they are producing boats of a quality & finish unrivalled
among European manufacturers. Of course, build quality is only part of the
story if the hull doesn’t perform, and we have chosen unique designs
from the Tahe range, which
fill substantial gaps in the market here in Australia. |

Reval
A long waterline Brit-inspired kayak that offers harder tracking that the traditional British design, a little extra straight line speed and the option of a rudder. The Reval's heritage pays tribute to kayaks like the Nordkapp & Iceflow, yet has a Northern European influence in it's windage & the stiffer tracking charateritics of the hull. Respected South Australian instructor & sea expeditioner Phil Doddridge describes the Reval as the best design he has paddled in the surf, & it's now his boat of choice for both instruction & his own adventures. We think the Reval offers something different to the British sea kayaks & although not a beginners boat offers rewards for those prepared to be dedicated to a new design that has won rave reviews overseas..

Greenland &
Greenland T
The most genuine Greenland style kayaks on the market,
combining the ancient lines of these traditional hunting boats with a
contemporary take on design & aesthetics. Quite simply, these boats are
jaw-droppers…. The Greenland is a direct descendent of the traditional canoe
inspired kayaks of Greenland, ancient boats that reached Central Europe as
early as the 17th century. This modern reincarnation uses the same classic
low volume hull with a V-shaped bottom. Although this requires a level of
proficiency, at the same time it delivers unmatched speed and performance on
both calm and dynamic water. The Greenland’s cockpit foot space was carefully
engineered, keeping in mind the characteristics and needs of the human body
on long journeys. A paddle of any distance in this tradition-inspired kayak
will unveil the charms & unique qualities of these boats – speed,
lightness and one very relaxed paddler. An amazing boat to roll, play in or
cruise. The Greenland T is the upsized model for bigger paddlers, or for
extended touring.
