creeker
(4 x)

A creeker is used in alpine white water. The large volume ensures good buoyancy to minimize the risk of getting caught between the stones on steep, rocky terrain.
Also, creekers may offer a little more security from capsizing in the easier whitewater area than river runners that are more tail-heavy. Of course, this is also a matter of training.

one-piece paddle
(4 x)

A one-piece paddle is obviously not divisible. Many paddle manufacturers also offer 2-, 3- or 4-piece versions of their established models. These cost a little more, but can also be stowed across the trunk or even in the boat itself as a spare paddle. And when ordering online, divisible paddles are cheaper to ship!

flat bottom
(4 x)

The flat bottom was introduced to achieve better maneuverability. If the boat does not have a pronounced keel that lies deeper in the water, then it takes less effort to turn, for example for eddying. Overall, however, the immersed surface is higher and thus also the frictional resistance. Flat bottoms can occur along the entire length of the boat, only in the maximum beam area, or only at the stern. All boat shapes that require high maneuverability are available with flat bottoms, play boats, creekers, crossovers for flat, narrow small rivers and even sea kayaks that have been optimized for surfing and playing in the surf zone are available with flat bottoms.

Advantages:
– much more manoeuvrable depending on the length of the flat areas
– the boat is a few centimeters less deep in the water at the deepest point

Disadvantages:
- a little slower
– a little heavier, because more material is needed to make flat floors stiff enough.

Women spraydeck
(3 x)

These spraydecks are explicitly declared as women's cut.

They have a shorter chimney, which is an advantage, especially if you have a large bust.

Suitable for pregnant women

fiberglass shaft
(4 x)

A fiberglass shaft (GRP) is less rigid than a carbon shaft (CRP) despite being heavier. This means a slightly more sluggish conversion of the power per paddle stroke with a little more energy loss due to the cushioning. In return, the force peaks on the wrists are lower.

In addition, glass is heavier, but also less sensitive to scratches and also cheaper. For the vast majority of paddlers, GRP is the best value for money.

Kevlar edge
(7 x)

If you look into a boathouse or a paddling club, you will find that almost all well-used and worn spraydecks get holes on the edges (unless they are made of Kevlar ...): Where you always hit it with the paddle or press your fingernails in or they pulls from the nail, etc.

The Kevlar threads in the protective fabric of the products marked here reliably prevent this.

The extra price pays off: an HF Dryskirt Kevlar, for example, usually has a much longer service life than simple products, even with intensive use.

Children's spraydeck
(5 x)

Spraydecks for the little ones.

knee strap
(10 x)

The knee strap is more important with neoprene than with nylon: then it could be that with pressure from the knee alone, from below, the material stretches so far that the blanket does not jump off. Especially if the blanket is very tight and the person has rather short legs or little strength.

Of course there is still the front loop, but let's be honest: who hasn't accidentally stuck the front loop under the elastic. with knee belt you have a backup!

airboat spraydeck
(2 x)

The spray decks here can be used in addition to the corresponding top.

airboat canopy
(4 x)

These covers can be retrofitted either permanently or temporarily to the corresponding airboats.

Hatch cover
(2 x)

Whether for storage or transport. With that the hatch is closed. Also saves fuel, with a boat on the car roof.

Mesh pocket
(2 x)

Maps or emergency medication can be stowed away in a mesh pocket on the spray deck.

nylon spraydecks
(6 x)

Nylon and polyurethane spraydecks

Cheap Nylon and sometimes also PU spraydecks are OK for occasional paddlers in the warmer months of the year. The second big advantage is the one size of the chimney, which is why clubs or rental companies in particular do not have to stock up on 5 different belly sizes.

Anyone who wants to keep their kidneys warm in cold water or winter is better off with neoprene. Neoprene is also tighter on the boat and belly, and thanks to its flexibility it also fits a larger range of hatch sizes.

The knee strap is more important with neoprene than with nylon: it could be that if you put pressure on your knees from below, the material will stretch so far that the blanket won't come off.

Polo spraydeck
(2 x)

Spray decks specially designed for polo boats.

ratchet straps
(4 x)

Ratchet straps are very common for adjusting the backrests in kayaks. So you can clamp yourself into the boat for optimal boat contact.

The downside to the rope clamps now used by many retailers is wear and tear and possible susceptibility to sediment.
Spare parts help with this shortcoming, the ratchets are usually interchangeable.

River runner
(1 x)

River runner or half-slice boats combine small, playful playboats and large-volume creekers for heavy whitewater. This makes these boats perfect for learning how to kayak in a playful way. With a lot of volume in the bow and strong rocker, these boats can also be driven in heavy white water. A mostly flat tail allows playful elements like undercutting. Kayaks with a volume well below 300 liters are also often referred to as river runners.

Touring spray deck
(9 x)

Touring spraydecks are not as demanding as whitewater spraydecks, which is why there are no extra Kevlar edges here. Of course, they should still be tight, which is why there are both cheaper nylon blankets and denser neoprene models.

In addition, some have extra mesh pockets for storing maps.

comprehensive thigh braces
(4 x)

Here we list the corresponding kayaks, where the manufacturers value comprehensive thigh supports in their standard seating systems.

This is often an advantage for good maneuvering and a stable seat in the whitewater boat.
One finds thigh braces that are too comprehensive, especially with wider thighs a bit cramped.
You have to test yourself. Many seats can also be individually adapted to body shapes.

Whitewater spraydeck
(17 x)

Only spray skirts made of neoprene are used for white water. In addition, they often have Kevlar-reinforced borders, so that they stay seated on the coaming even if they capsize.

Here, when attaching the spraydeck, care should be taken to ensure that the existing grip loops can guarantee an emergency exit, since the elastic neoprene is not always so easy to push open with the knees.

Whitewater paddle
(4 x)

The usual lengths for whitewater paddles for adults are between 192 and 200cm. Divisibility is not mandatory, but it saves shipping costs and makes transport in your own vehicle easier every time.

In principle, there are three types of divisibility:

• in firm detent , so the angle is always the same
• in variable detent, the angle is freely selectable, the length is the same
• in variable clamping, with a freely selectable angle and up to 10cm additional length.

In addition, some paddles are even used in 3 or 4 parts offered to use them as eg in a boat Replacement paddle to be able to stow away.

In order to keep an overview of the more than 350 paddle variants currently on offer, we recommend that you use the product data filter in the sidebar or compare them in the table view using a free text search!

Additional handles on the coaming
(4 x)

Normally, almost all kayaks intended for whitewater have up to three additional handles near the Sülrand in addition to the two handles at the bow and stern.

On the one hand, this makes it easier to salvage the boats in white water. But it is also good for getting out quickly in difficult terrain, you can thread the ready-to-hand sling through a handle within reach to secure it.
Also, recently, boats that don't have these handles have been banned from participating in some whitewater races.

Since some manufacturers do without these handles, which we believe are quite advantageous, on some of their River Runners, we have introduced this keyword to you.
