DARKSIDE CANOES

The kayak side of the sport is well catered for in terms of available types of craft within a mature market and there are a wide range of boats to choose from to suit budget, ability and design. In the UK, canoe clubs have nurtured a huge community of paddlers from grass roots to world and Olympic champions... The canoe racing fraternity is mostly composed of large, stable touring and leisure boats many of which are designed and sourced from the USA at one end of the scale, to very narrow, high kneeling and unstable sprint racing boats at the other. It takes a very determined and tenacious athlete to develop the high kneeling paddling position necessary for sprint racing boats.
