Very impressed

This is the first fully drop stitched kayak I have purchased, I’m impressed with the quality and having used it a few times now can confirm that it tracks very well and is well up to the tasks I use it for quality is very good and cannot really fault only minor issue is a lack of a carry handle mid-point so I will have to attach one myself no big deal kayak well worth the purchase price

Excellent

Good quality. Very stable and easy to paddle. Very rigid at 12psi.
If I have any criticism it is that the drain well could do with being in front of the seat as the seat stops water running to the back.

Optimal Single Seater

I bought this canoe a month or so ago and everything about it is brilliant. It arrived the day after I ordered it, so great service. It's easy to set up, it feels incredibly rigid so it's a massive step up from my previous canoe and it paddles really well. It's stable and quick through the water. I thoroughly recommend both the canoe and Sandbanks as a company.

Great kayak

Just one outing so far, impressed with how well it tracks in the water and handles swell, wind etc. inflation was quick manual bs electric pump about the same except the effort. Lack of a footrest isn’t an issue as you get plenty of leverage from the front of the top deck. I bought this for days when it’s too windy to paddle board its first outing was a good test and very successful!

Our boards in a nutshell

We have a dedicated team who take great pride in the manufacturing the very best inflatable paddleboards. This high quality craftmanship improves all aspects of the boards production and is reflected in the outstanding quality of the finished product.

1. Comfortable Grippy DeckPad

The best deck pads are machine pressed in addition to gluing.

2. PVC with Woven Inner

Outer Skin Strength is important for long life and pressure capacity.

3. Fusion Technology

An additional layer of PVC is laminated to the dropstitch core. Fusion results in a lighter, stiffer, longer lasting board, and much better for the environment too than toxic glues.

4. Super Reinforced, High Density Dropstitch

The strength/lightness ratio of the fibres, is key to creating a super rigid but light board.

5. UV Resistant

Built to withstand long-term exposure to sunlight, minimising material decay and keeping colours clear and vibrant.

6. Triple Layer On Rail

A 3rd and final layer around the rail of the board creates a second seal and ensures there are no weak points on the board.

7. Heat Treated Seal

A laminated, heat pressed inner seam on the fused PVC surrounding the core of the board creates a 100% airtight and waterproof seal. Much better and stronger than gluing.
