Spitfire Kayak

I had a great time showing Northern California Kayaks the 8' Spitfire Kayaks. Head Instructor, Del Davidson, is really excited to use the Spitfire as an introduction to the sport of kayaking craft. Specifically, he think that it will work great in a pool course he teaches that emphasizes the ease of re-entering a sit on top. He also hosts kid's kayaks camps and plans to use the Spitfire to be a great launching point for young new paddlers.

Del had no problem making the boat go where he needed it to go and was impressed with the capacity of the 8' Spitfire.

Spitfire Kayak


Nick from Alder Creek Kayak and Canoe Bend OR, treated us to a test paddle last week of the new Spitfire Kayak from Emotion Kayaks. This little 8' value kayak did just fine with the current. I think we are going to see a lot of new paddlers with this kayak.

Spitfire Kayak

Spitfire Kayaks have introduced their first model on to the market and I just had a chance to get it out on the water. Spitfires were designed to introduce people to kayaking at a very affordable price. The boat is fully equipped and has a lot of nice features for the money--mounted seat back, sculpted footbraces, stern deck bungees, drain plug, and carrying handles. The molding of the boat is extremely clean compared to other models at the same price. What a looker too!




I wish they made these when I was looking for my first kayak on my grade school allowance!
I found the boat stable and easy to maneuver. Best of all it fits right in the back of the SUV, truck or van. Now there is no excuse for not being a paddler!
