Mississippi Kayaks

Why should you consider our boats?&&

Design ... these kayaks have flatter hulls than traditional sprint models, which makes them more stable. Beginners and children can handle them quite easily. However various hull design features of sprint models have been retained which makes them much faster than traditional recreational boats. In fact, many Masters age competitors use these boats for national and international sprint and marathon competitions;

Features ... many of the inner components developed to meet the rigorous demands of Olympic champions have been incorporated into these models, such as comfortable adjustable seats, sturdy adjustable footrests and rudders controlled by a tiller bar on the footrest. These make your paddling stroke more efficient so you will glide further with each stroke;

Construction ... our boats are available in different materials like fibreglass carbon & kevlar. Top quality materials make these boats both durable and light (20 lb. and up), very manageable both on and off the water;

Reputation... Vajda and Kirton have been among the world's leading designers and manufacturers of racing kayaks for many years. They offer a two year warranty on any manufacturing defect and their boats represent a sound investment.
Mississippi Kayaks is one of the world's largest flatwater racing boat dealers, having served the North American market for over 15 years and offering prompt and reliable service.
