PaddleYak Kayaks SA has been providing South Africans and many paddlers round the world with hand-laminated kayaks specially built for demanding use for over two decades. Riaan Manser chose PaddleYak Kayaks for his epic cicumnavigation of Madagascar in the Tropics as well as for his and Dan Skinstad’s demanding circumnavigation of Iceland, touching on the Arctic Circle in the process. In both extreme challenges the craft brought the paddlers back home safely. PaddleYak craft are found in many parts of the world, including in very remote areas like Papua New Guinea and French Guiana. Johan Loots of PaddleYak has himself used PaddleYak Kayaks to paddles some of the world’s most select kayaking destinations, including Galithea in Spain, much of the Croatian Coast,
Venice, Queen Charlotte Sound and Abel Tasman in New Zealand, the Whitsundays and Port Jackson in Australia, Tahiti, Moorea and closer to home, Principe, Sao Tome, Mauritius, Madagascar and Mozambique. PaddleYak Kayaks are produced in the beautiful town of Knysna in
the heart of the Garden Route. The town is surrounded by lagoon, ocean and an indigenous forest, an ideal location to design and build boats and kayaks for those who love to be on the water with their own eco-friendly craft. PaddleYak Kayaks are delivered country- and world-wide directly to
buyers for the best prices and service. PaddleYak began a novel online kayak order website in SA in the the mid-nineties, a model of retail which is becoming the norm now with the likes of Amazon, Takealot and Makro, so, if you are in Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, East London and Durban you can
order your kayaks directly from PaddleYak in Knysna. It’s easy. Just go to the PaddleYak website and place your order and PRESTO! You have a craft in the making.
