Sea and Touring kayaks are designed to travel great distances in comfort, bringing with them all the equipment you might need when you get to your destination. Modern coposite and plastic kayaks are fast, very comfortable and have enough storage space to allow you to be away from home for weeks! Usable with or without spraydecks there are designs and shapes for almost every body-type and purpose depending on how far you want to go and on what water. If you would like us to test a specific boat or would like advice get in touch with the team on reviews@canoe-shops.co.uk

The bigger brother of the much-favoured Strait 120. The 140 has a lot to live up to, and it does!

Venture Kayaks Flex 11 Review
Recreational paddling is what we do and the Venture Flex 11 is as good a way to do it as any. Having both paddled the boat many times but without a camera we knew what to expect. the complication on this trip was paddling "guard ship" to the Fridge Fairy in her brand new Elie Strait 120.

The Old Town Twin Otter is an open cockpit tandem kayak which is lighter than many of its competitors. Ideal for couples, families or anyone who wants to get out on the water and enjoy the great outdoors.
