PURE and simple, this kayak is ready for the river. Developed by the new Prijon-Whitewater-Team, headed by Toni Prijon and Bernhard Mauracher, the PURE is a creeker that couples a modern hull design and modern features with the outstanding reliability and durability of PRIJON-HTP. Many paddlers have been waiting for a boat like this, a creek boat that performs and won’t break.
It is fast, it Turns on the spot and it will keep you Safe!

We've already got a pre-production Pure with the boys at CKUK for test. Stock boats will be available late November.

Pelican International

Last week I had the pleasure of visiting Pelican's factory in Laval, Canada.
It is an immense place, where raw material pellets come in at one end and finished boats and snow toys come out at the other.
For those who are keen on their technology, the production facility was mind blowing.

The whole thing starts with the production of the material sheets. The guys at Pelican found it was best to product their own sheets, so their exact requirements and strict quality could be adhered to.
Two massive machines extrude a constant feed sheet which looks just like a giant strip of bubblegum. This is then cut into sheets ready for the intended product.
A selection of machines make the canoe and kayaks, the biggest and fastest turning out 36 per hour!

There are some great new products and accessories on their way for the 2010 season, as soon as we have images, we'll post them up.

Welcome

Wahoo!
Welcome to the Avoncraft Canoes & Kayaks blog.

Here we are going to try and bring you all the great things we see, hear and do.

Prijon Viper

Picture the scene, parents paddling their beautiful sleek touring kayaks on stunning waterways while their children, the next paddling generation struggle way behind in their small whitewater kayaks. After all, it is the only boat that fits them!

Finally a kayak designed for the new generation. The whole Viper concept has children, young people and small adults from 30 to 60kg and up to 165cm tall specifically in mind.

A smaller seat and narrow cockpit allow greater control, comfort and connection with the kayak, even on the longest of journeys. Featuring the Prijon signature Tri-hedral hull the Viper tracks beautifully, but remains highly maneuverable.
