Buyer’s Guide 2010 >>
>>Welcome to our
first-ever buyer’s guide
At Kayak Session & Paddle World magazines, we try to do things a little differently most of time, aiming to bring fresh
perspectives to the table.
This is why, despite great temptation, we have never produced a buyer’s guide until now. We didn’t know what new outlook
we could add in producing another buyer’s guide.
The tipping point came when we spoke to Horst Fürsatell, organizer of Kanumesse, the only paddlesports-specific trade show
in the world. Kanumesse has become the epicenter of the paddling industry, not just for the European market but for the
rest of the world as well, from emerging markets to US-based powerhouses.
As media sponsor of the show since its inception, we have been privileged to get to know both Horst and the industry
better.
So when he approached us about producing an annual guide that would not only serve as the companion print vehicle for
the show, but also allow us to publish a different kind of gear guide, we jumped at the idea.
We wanted this guide to be diverse and alive – a gathering of new boat models, of course, but also many other paddling
products available on the market. In addition, we bring you the trends, the hype, the speculation about the future of the
sport – all the information that flows around such an event.
Kanumesse is the best place to base the type of buyer’s guide we want to publish, simply because it is more and more at
the center of what’s happening in the kayaking industry.
In this buyer’s guide we confront the challenge of producing a magazine that speaks to the diverse stakeholders in the
industry – consumer, shop buyer, and manufacturer. To that end, in addition to showcasing the most comprehensive
collection of paddlesports products in image, we take you backstage, so to speak, to discover who and what makes this
industry tick.
The same visual obsession we already cater to with Kayak Session & Paddle World carries over into this buyer’s guide. You’ll
find substantial space devoted to each of the more than 500 products featured, with pictures to help you make the best gear
choices, whether you are a beginner sea kayaker, advanced whitewater paddler, or a pro kayak fishing captain.
We’re also very proud to make this guide available to you at no cost, in print and online.
So enjoy your next session wherever it might be… and your new gear,

Buyers Guide
Our sport is growing, changing, and moving forward. For many years and all around the globe people said “Wouldn’t it be great
to have a platform especially for paddling? To have at the right time of the year, a place to sit down, share ideas, and discuss
products and trends?”
Wolfgang Haupt, sales manager of Prijon Kayaks, recalls the beginnings of Kanumesse, “We felt that the time was right to get
away from the shadows of mega-yachts or rucksacks and push paddling into the spotlight. We started small with local in-house
shows, then moved into the large hall of an international exhibition centre. Right from the start we opened Kanumesse to all the
manufacturers, distributors and buyers from around the world. And they came!”
In the times before Kanumesse we participated in many exhibitions, we gave interviews to journalists, and watched TV-crews
taking pictures. But we always had to share the spotlight with sleeping bags, tents, or climbing gear. Now, with Kanumesse, the
media coverage is 100% paddling.
Kanumesse is a perfect opportunity for us to show our products and collect feedback. But the biggest benefit is for the visitor:
never before has there been a trade-show with such a complete, paddling-focused display of products and information.
Kanumesse may look similar to other shows now, but it is different. The concept is clear, straight and simple: We have created
Kanumesse, but now we decide together where it will go.
Don’t miss Kanumesse in 2010—opportunity awaits!

WHY ATTEND
TO KANUMESSE?

Trade shows are a common principle in most industries. Manufacturers sell their products directly or indirectly to retail
stores, who in turn sell to the consumers. Trade shows (as opposed to consumer shows) take place so that manufacturers
can show new products to retail store buyers who order stock for the upcoming season. Below, manufacturers and retailers
tell us why they are so pleased to be a part of Kanumesse.
Kanumesse is essential
for us in keeping up with
developments in the industry
such as new brands, new
ideas, and new products.
It is the one place we can see
the majority of our suppliers
under one roof, maximizing
our valuable time.
MARK BURCH, Owner, Brookbank
Canoes and Kayaks, Retailer, UK
It is very important for us to be at the Kanumesse Show
to grow our European Market. A lot of European and
Asian stores do not travel to the Outdoor Retailer in Salt
Lake City (USA), so this is a way for us to make sure we
meet with them.

The Importance of
Specialized Retailers
© Heiko Fricke
For us it was our first big
presentation at Kanumesse –
the most important thing was
that dealers & the market start
to understand our concept of
making unique equipment. KM
is definitely different; the market
is small and there we have
an optimum and professional
base from which to promote
ourselves.
KM is a much more laidback, friendly show
than OR. It is also very focused on paddling,
which is what we do!
I have just recently returned from
Kanumesse and must congratulate
you on such a well-presented and
professionally organised exhibition. I
have already made plans to return in
2010. Thank you again – it was a great
exhibition and it covered all the areas
of paddlesports I was interested in. I look
forward to meeting with you in 2010.

WALLY SCHABER, Owner, Trailhead, Retailer, Canada
At Pyranha, we believe that our network of specia
lized dealers,
whether they are indep endent stores or specia
list chains,
is best positioned to give paddl ers who want
a specia lized
kayak the best advice, choice, service and buying
experience.
Some of the bigger general sports chains may
have the buying
power that allows them to undercut the specia
list market, but
they will always struggle to offer the service
and advice that
specia lized dealer s can offer. We’ve all heard
horror storie s
of paddle rs buying boats that aren’t suitab le
for their needs
becau se they’v e tried to buy the cheap est boat
possib le or
have been misinformed by inexperienced shop
staff.
Specia lized dealer s are a better place to buy
a specia lized
product because they will be highly focused only
on our favorite
sport and will employ a staff that has a passio
n for canoeing
and kayaking. Their knowledge for our sport
won’t be diluted
by having to sell footba lls, horseb ack riding
equip ment, or
tennis rackets, as some of the more general sports
stores do.
Our specialized dealer network all carries a broad
range of high
quality canoeing and kayaking equipment and will
have personal
experience using most of it. Their staff will be
able to offer first
hand advice on what is best for paddlers’ needs
. Specialized
retailers tend to be far more focused on making
sure the paddler
gets the best product to suit their needs rather than
selling them
a product that gets their shop the most profit.
They’ll usually be
able to offer their customers other services the
general sport
chain can’t, like on water demos and helping paddle
rs customize
their kayaks to get the best personal fit and perfor
mance. Further
local information like where to get coaching or guidin
g, contacts
with local clubs and the best destinations to
go kayaking or
canoeing in the area are all part of the personal
touch your local
specialist will be able to offer.
There is one other major negative effect the large
non-specialized
stores can have on the top end of the marke
t that paddlers
don’t tend to appreciate. In order to get a bigger
slice of the
kayaking cake, they will use their buying power
and a promise
of high volume sales to drive down their purcha
se price so they
can undercut the specialist and gain sales. As
the suppliers and
manufacturers get squeezed on margin, one of
the first things
that suffers is Research and Development of new
products. No
R&D means no shiney new designs for paddle
rs to get excited
about next year!
But – some of these bigger chains can buck the
trend and offer
customers a great buying experience by being
more convenient
to get to, offeri ng keene r prices, offeri ng
packa ges, or by
puttin g their staff throu gh intens ive traini
ng progra ms.
Specialist dealers can’t afford to ignore them
and are having
to work harder every year to offer paddlers the
best products,
advice and personal service.
This competition can only be good for the indust
ry.

HOW HAS THE
PADDLESPORTS INDUSTRY
FARED DURING THE GLOBAL
ECONOMIC CRISIS?
>>
This year’s Kanumesse showed a lot of hope for the industry. Primarily because the industry did fairly well, manufacturers
are optimistic this year, unveiling new product models across all categories. During economic downturns it is common to
see industries related to local tourism hold their own as people vacation closer to home than they do during good economic
times. The direct consequence is that kayak shops and outdoor stores end up selling more boats and products at times when other
consumer sectors are down.
The crisis has an impact on our sales, of course. But we are
still happy with our economic results and we do not expect
any further drop in 2010.

2009 has been a different year due to the economic
situation, but not in a really negative way for sales,
more in a way to be alert and to be flexible. We look
forward to an exciting and challenging year, with
some promising new products that we expect to do
good in our market.

higher sales again in 2010.

Why Entry Price-point
Product is Essential
David D’Auteuil - Emotion Kayaks
Vice President of Sales
© Heiko Fricke
The kayak marke t is the verge of another transf
ormat ion for
the retailers. The specialized retailer is seeing
a much stronger
demand for the entry- level price driven kayak
. The bigge st
reason is that technological advances have allowe
d us to build
performance driven and feature rich kayaks at
price points that
appeal to all types of paddlers. The misconceptio
n that you have
to spend a lot of money to get a great entry-level
kayak is long
gone in the eyes of the consumer.
It depends on the visions and strategies of
the manufacturers, importers and retailers.
Here in Germany we have seen a strongly
growing market here in 2009. So we expect
a strong Paddlesports market for the future.
Emotion Kayaks has embraced this change. The
bottom line is
we want to help grow our industry by makin
g our sport more
affordable to new people. We are helped by econo
mic times in
which consumers are looking for affordable recrea
tion instead
of spend ing a lot of money on big expensive
vacations. But
consu mer data also confi rms that customers
are looking for
better value. We have seen this trend in the US
as more and more
specialized retailers are offering products in the
price points that
were typically dominated by the larger platform
stores. They have
conveyed the messages to us loud and clear that
they are losing
sales if they do not offer these retail price points
. There is a
whole new consumer out there looking for value
and affordability
in entering the kayaking world.

WHAT’S AROUND
THE CORNER FOR
PADDLESPORTS?
>>
Innovation is the strength and the weakness of small industries like kayaking. There are limited funds to invest heavily in
research and development; but the industry is so competitive that manufacturers are always trying to develop new ideas
and concepts to keep pace with consumer demand and changes in the marketplace. The emerging markets of kayak fishing
and stand up paddling are proof of the industry’s ability to adapt and innovate. Along those lines, here are some of the comments
heard on the floor of Kanumesse.
Niche markets are harder
and harder to design for.
However, the SUP market
is growing fast and strong
and we must follow this
excitement. Crossover
kayaks saw the most growth
this year with designs
offering versatility and
performance on all types of
water.

WOODY CALLAWAY, Brand Manager,
Liquidlogic Kayaks, Hard goods
manufacturer, USA
It WILL expand in the crossover areas of
fishing and SUP. This is for sure. Other than
that, I think we’re going to see a plateau or
even a drop... for now. Who knows what the
future holds for us.

Bringing production back home?
By Jutta Kaiser
Touring and sit-on-top markets still
have big potential for expansion,
while some new sections like
SUP are growing surprisingly fast
– much faster than predicted a
couple of years ago.

DIEGO ZANGA, General Manager, Dragorossi
Kayaks & Surfboards, Rainbow Kayaks, Hard
goods manufacturer, Italy
It is only in the last couple of decades that brands
in the general
outdoor industry as well as the paddlesports indust
ry thought
they had to move production to the Far East to
be competitive.
In less than 20 years, China in partic ular has
emerged as the
manufacturing powerhouse of the Asian region
.
Recently though, a new trend has been emerging.
Major players
across the outdoor industry and more and more compa
nies within
the Europ ean paddle sports trade have seen
the advantages
of production nearer to or within the brand’s
home country.
Jim Evans from Alpkit, an outdoor equipment
supplier states:
“Although increasingly hard to find, using manuf
acturers from
Europe avoids time-consuming and expensive visits
to production
sites far away that significantly reduces the often
unseen costs
of a product.”
© Peter Lintner
The trend for manufacturi ng in Europ e is also
fueled by the
awareness of consumers’ increasing preference for
“buying local”
whenever possible to support the economy in their
own region.
Key playe rs in this new trend are the highly
specia lised
manufacturers who provide unrivalled knowledge
and expertise
to their custo mers. With contin uous produ
ct and proce ss
innov ation and the introduction of princi ples
of sustai nable
develo pment , these innov ative manufacture rs
ensure Europ e
stays an attractive and competitive production
base.
One examp le of these specia list manufacture
rs within the
kayaking industry is Phoenix Neoprene Spraydecks,
a factory in
Nottingham, UK that has produced spraydecks
for competition,
whitewater, seakayaking and recreational kayaki
ng since 1993.
As a major supplier to the trade, Phoenix offers
a comprehensive
range of spraydecks for trade customers to sell
under their own
labels all over the world. The aim of the compa
ny is to provide
the kayak marke t with the highe st qualit y produ
ct availa ble
and at the same time reduce the enviro nment
al impac ts of
production.
© Heiko Fricke
Joel Scott, managing director of Phoenix Neopr
ene Spraydecks
says: “Our customers appreciate the close workin
g relationship
with us and our clear under stand ing of the
marke t. They
highly value the rapid response to their requir
ements and the
manufacturing flexibility with short lead times that
we provide.”
I feel the Paddlesport market as a whole will continue to grow rapidly as the variety,
availability, and cost of products make the associated pastimes accessible and
affordable. As the markets grow with consumers new to paddlesports, traditional
brand names will be less important than quality and availability of product and
value for money.

IS ENOUGH ATTENTION
BEING DEVOTED TO THE
BEGINNER MARKET?
>>
To expand their sales, industry players want more people in boats. It’s not rocket science. So every company is addressing
product range in this category. For some, beginner focused gear accounts for more than half of the product line. But could
more attention be given to this area? And what’s being done to attract new paddlers and keep them interested?

It is always important to offer
people the opportunity to
start in a sport. We place
a very strong emphasis
on having kayaks in the
Perception range that give
people the opportunity to
discover everything that is
good about paddling. We
cover the full spectrum of
paddling requirements so
you will find a boat in our
line up that suits any aspect
of recreation and touring
whether it be for absolute
beginners or experts.
Kokatat designs and manufactures garments and
accessories for all paddlers. While we are probably
known more for our high-end products, employees
in our California factory make an equal number of
products designed for recreational paddlers and
beginners.

Beginners are very important. Our bestselling products are aimed at newcomers
to the sport. Around 25 percent of our sales
come from entry-level products.
PETE ASTLES, Owner, PEAK UK, Soft goods manufacturer, UK
The importance of the beginner market
By Eric Jackson,President of Jackson Kayaks.
New Paddlers are the fuel for the kayaking world. Like a meal
for all of us, we can’t live without them. They provide new
excitement, energy, and new ideas, and they have robust goals
and dreams of where their kayaks will take them. They become
volunteers for our clubs, kayak events, river clean ups and more.
For manufac turers of kayaks and gear, their new equipme nt
purchases provide the cash for us to continue to innovate and
bring new products to market. Without new paddlers entering
our sport, there would be no events, no new equipment, and
most of our whitewater parks, clubs, resorts, etc. would never
have existed, or would have died off long ago.
© Heiko Fricke
© Heiko Fricke
Personal ly, I believe it is every kayaker’s responsi bility to
teach new people to paddle, or at least introduc e them to
people who can. For me there is nothing more rewarding than
sharing kayaking with others. The excitement and enthusiasm
that a new paddler brings to kayaking is incredible and very
contagious. To that end, Jackson Kayak supports World Kayak
and its various initiatives aimed at making it easier for more
people to paddle more often. Check out the wealth of info and
tips, event coverage and new paddling friends you can connect
with at http://www.WorldKayak.com
It is vital for us to offer entry-level paddle
models at great value for the money.
The customer can purchase a product
at a reasonable price and enjoy the
benefits of a performance paddle from
the very first moment he tries it out. Then
there is a great chance that he will be a
member of the paddlesport family for a
long time...
Meanwhile, it’s important to remember that each of us still has that
beginner inside. We can replicate our first experiences in paddling
by doing things we’ve never done before, like a trips to another
country or continent, or simply to a new river. Get in the habit of
creating your own personal “firsts” and you’ll have that excitement
forever. Here are a few ideas on how to bring your friends and family
into a life of enjoying the best sport in the world:
Bring family members to roll sessions in the swimming pool.
Register your kids for summer camps that offer kayaking.
Get a Duo (tandem kayak) and bring your friends on the river with
you – you’ll both have an incredible time, and they’ll be hooked!
Plan a trip to Costa Rica for the winter of 2012 – invite one or
two friends, offering to teach them to kayak this year so they’re
eager and able to join you by 2012. (win/win in a big way!)
Plan a trip to the Ottawa and invite your friends – have them
join a kayak school there – meet up on the river or after paddling
for a long summer evening’s entertainment.
You can only share your extra gear for so long, so once you get
your friends hooked, help guide them as they buy their own gear.
Nose plugs on day one, then a lifejacket, helmet, and finally the
full deal with a boat, paddle, etc.

Whitewater >>
Whitewater kayaking is an exciting sport that involves paddling down rivers and rapids – from simple,
gently moving water to demanding, challenging rapids. The sport encompasses a wide variety of
disciplines, from creek boating to river running to play boating, and each offers different ways to
appreciate the river. With so many approaches to choose from, there is a style of whitewater paddling
for everyone. Whitewater paddling is becoming increasingly accessible to a wider population thanks
to better equipment and improved designs. Gear made specifically for kids, and in a wider range of
adult sizes, has also made whitewater paddling more appealing in recent years. Specified boat and gear
designs have grown to meet the needs of each style of whitewater paddling. Creekboats tend to be larger
volume with significant rocker, bulbous ends, and a more rounded hull. Playboats are generally shorter
and smaller volume, often with a flat hull, slicey ends and sharp chines. River running boats generally
utilize a blend of creekboat and playboat characteristics, aiming for a balance between stability and
playability. Boats, paddles, PFDs, and helmets are designed distinctly to cater to the specific demands
of paddlers on all types of whitewater. Countless accessories also exist to make paddling easier, more
comfortable, and more feasible in a variety of weather conditions.

Burn have made it the weapon of choice for many of the World’s
leading creek paddlers, expedition paddlers and coaches since
its inception 4 years ago. Feedback from Pyranha’s world class
network of paddlers and dealers have helped them tweak the
Burn’s legendary design with subtle performance enhancing
modifications. Key 2010 Features: Raised and reprofiled front
rocker to give more control over monster drops without losing
forward speed. More ‘V’ in the front deck sheds water better
and gives improved directional control after resurfacing. Knee

Big Dog > DropZone
When you want the ulimate in big water ability you need the
reassurance and predictability of the DropZone. The DropZone
is a high volume, displacement-hulled creek boat that, as the
name suggests is ideal for gnarly descents and tight, steep
lines. Also great for those trips further-a-field that often
require a degree of gear to be carried, its displacement hull
ensures that even when laden, performance is maintained and
handling remains predictable. Soft rails maintain the feel of
modern hulls, but without tripping, and the voluminous deck
profiles allow the DropZone to resurface smoothly and evenly
under control. For extra safety and security, the DropZone
features double deck pillars (front and rear) boled to a seperate
rotomoulded hull stiffener and seat combination. There’s also a
unique Big Dog footblock and six drop-forged grab handles for
comfort and control in any situation.

Dragorossi > Critical Mass
The Critical Mass is designed to ride up and over everything the
river has to throw at you. Its length is not there for speed, but
for reach: to reach over the chasm between the lip of a drop,
and the back of the hole at the bottom. To reach over all the
funny water that messes with you between stacked multiple
drops, when you simply cannot be messed with. Length for
reach, but not at the expense of turning. Put the Critical Mass
up against boats a foot shorter, and it still turns better. That’s
because creeking is all about turning - sometimes at the very
last instant before dropping over something horrendous.

and big drops. The low barycentre and smooth rocker line
make it stable and fast, while an indicated displacement hull
facilitates edging and rolling. The Demon’s compact design and
thorough volume distribution ensure quick resurfacing in steep
water while features like four grab handles plus two carabiner
attachement points povide maximum safety. The comfortable
interior of an ergonomic seat and adjustable puncture-proof
footrest round the boat off and make it a great choice for your
next whitewater mission.

Riot > Magnum
From Iceland to South America the word has spread and pieces
of evidence have been left all over the place: the Magnum is
your best bet if you want to tackle the biggest and steepest
waters this planet has to offer. Some say it’s all in the way the
sleek deck shape and rocker profile make it resurface gradually
without throwing you on your back. Others say the way we
shaped the tail and worked the volume behind the cockpit
keeps you from being pushed into bad corners and prevents
stern squirts, so you get exactly where you want to be in the
first place. Our take on that matter? Provide paddlers with
thoughtfully designed, down-river tools to express themselves
and you won’t believe what your eyes will see.

guys get bigger and bigger? Anyway, this boat suits even
Frankensteins with shoe size 13, a height of more than 6foot
5 and an overall weight of more than 200 pounds, as nice as
safely. The rest is business as usual – a planning hull with a
disc, an adjustable bulkhead and a new Pro Logic seat system
system for maximum control, no matter how steep it gets or
how much water the creek is actually führen.

Wavesport > Habitat
You want a boat that gets you through whatever the moment
throws at you. This is it. The bombproof step pillar, 5 metal
z-drag anchors and uber-stable, soft-landing hull are mandatory
when you’re plunging drops that have never before been run.
The Habitat holds any line you put it on - and with the lift of
a knee, you’ll be carving into eddies with absolute control. So
if you’re just getting into creeking or an old pro, Wave Sport’s
got the Habitat for you.

planing disc, and full eight inches of rocker with clean release

Dragorossi > Mad Boy
The Mad Boy is Dragorossi’s newest addition to the river running
line of kayaks. The focus of this design is anything but simple,
because its very nature as “advanced river runner” means it’ll
be subjected to all the extremes from huge volume runs to the
steepest of creeks. This presents an interesting design dilemma
because the very thing that makes a boat good at one makes
it bad at the other. This is why it has taken almost 2 years to
bring this design to market from its first conception. The Mad
Boy is as at home on a cascading vertical steep creek as it is
on a raging monstrous flooded river. It is fast, but without
affecting its ability to boof easily. It turns on a dime, punches
through the nastiest holes, and will skip effortlessly across the
boniest slides without catching an edge.

with just the right amount of edge combined with enough deck

as it is for learning the fundamentals of river paddling. The Xile

Jackson Kayak > 2010 Fun
NEW!
Just when you thought kayaking couldn’t get more fun comes
the new lineup of Jackson Kayak’s best-selling whitewater
boats. Giant smiles and whoops of excitement echoing down
the river, served as testimony to the enthusiastic reception
the new Funs got when they were introduced at Gauley Fest
this fall. One more gallon of volume and improved deck shape
result in a better river runner and bigger looping boat too.
A slicier shape reduces water resistance making it easier to
get vertical in flatwater and cartwheel at every spot. Only 1”
shorter but improved hull shape makes it go faster on waves or
downriver and able to carry more speed through crisply carved
turns. Rainbow colors. Kid-sized Fun 1, Fun 1.5. Adult 2Fun,

The Jekyll and Hyde of the Big Dog range, the Havoc is as
playable as many freestyle kayaks, yet remaining as comfortable,
fast and forgiving as some river-running designs. Although
heavily influenced by the more focused Kaos, every design
feature is tuned to give this slightly longer design unrivalled
versatility. The Havoc is fantastic for freestyle paddlers too tall
for ultra-short playboats but also provides a genuine one-boat
solution for those with less competitive ideals. More than able
to surf, loop and cartwheel at your favourite playspot, Havoc
retains the drive and speed to make moves around the river,
making it a true all river play boat...

events: Teva Mountain Games, FIBArk Whitewater Festival and
ICF Freestyle World Championships. In fact at Worlds, the AllStar won 12 of 15 available medals and accounted for nearly
50 percent of all boats paddled. Shorter and lighter translates
to faster and bigger airs. No matter what level you paddle at
now, Jackson Kayak’s 2010 Star series will take you to the next
level from the minute you climb aboard. New Mon-Star makes
playboating fun even for linebacker-sized boaters. Available

production tooling. The Kaos features a fast, loose planing
surface with efficient, clean releasing, rails and well balanced

Titan Kayaks > Titan 1
A boat designed for beginners to excel in and professionals to
change the sport in. All the essentials have been covered to
create a boat that is forgiving and fast, loose but with edges
that will bite on a carve, has a quicker edge to edge transition
creating a smoother release, along with a 45-degree off water
trajectory. All of these features have then been combined with
newer more advanced concepts such as on edge toe-to-knee
sweep scoops in the nose and secondary rails on the back edges
allowing paddlers to release from further back off the tail for
even bigger moves.
The idea is simple. To give paddlers all that they need to move
from a beginner getting into their first freestyle boat to a pro
looking to push things to the next level, all in one neat little
package.

Grabner > Jump
Grabner, the Austrian manufacturer of high quality inflatable
canoes, recently came up with an innovative product that clears
out difficulties, where solid-hull whitewater kayaks become
problematic: storage at home and transportation on the way
is not always easy with an every increasing number of boats
in your quiver.
For travelling by car a roof rack or trailer is required, and
transportation by train or plane is everything but convenient
with all your whitewater gear.
Given the fact that whitewater trips to distant locations
worldwide are becoming increasingly popular, time has come
to design a boat, which meets all the requirements of a shortlength whitewater kayak, but offering easy transportation and
storage at the same time.
This is why Grabner came up with the idea of introducing
the Jump, an innovative inflatable kayak, that meets all
expectations of travelling whitewater enthusiasts.

Kayak lineup of well-proven whitewater boats. Designed for
an optimum combined weight range of 265 – 500 pounds, the
stern cockpit can comfortably accommodate paddlers weighing

stretchy 3-layer-material. The Drytec suit can be cut 3040% slimmer than a comparable, traditional drysuit. This
means that less air is kept within the suit and that a
smaller total volume leads to more freedom of movement
and increasing wearing comfort. The light and thin fabric
is extremly packable, which renders the Drytec perfect for
trips abraod. The wrist and ankle latex gaskets are covered
by neoprene cuffs in order to form a thermal bridge which
supports heat insulation. Further features are kevlar seat

Sea kayaking
Touring >>
Sea kayaking or touring is the sport of paddling on the open water of lakes, bays, and oceans. Touring
can involve journeys ranging from a few hours to many weeks, along protected coastlines and inland
lakes or out in the open sea. Sea kayaks are seaworthy small boats with a covered deck and the ability
to incorporate a spraydeck to keep water from entering the boat. They are much longer than whitewater
kayaks, offering cargo capacity, ease of straight-line paddling, and comfort for long journeys. Sea
kayaks generally accommodate one or two paddlers together with room for camping gear, food, water
and other supplies. Sea kayaks usually range in length from 11-18 ft/3.3m–5.5m for solo craft, and up
to 25 ft/7.6m for tandem craft. Increasing the length of a kayak generally adds speed, which is useful
for covering long distances. Longer kayaks are also less maneuverable, as turning quickly is not as
important in open water. Sea kayaks provide an excellent way to get out on the water – for a day or a
week, on familiar terrain or unknown territory, alone or with family and friends.

Canoeing >>
Canoes involve the paddler kneeling or sitting in a raised position and using a paddle with one blade.
Canoes can be paddled on flatwater or whitewater, though depending on the skill of the paddler, their
use may be limited by the open nature of the craft. Due to the single-bladed paddle, canoeing can
be more difficult to learn than kayaking, yet it offers a unique grace and appeal that has continued
to draw people to the sport. Canoes can be used for outings ranging from a few hours to many weeks,
and boat,styles and designs reflect the intended use. Whitewater canoes are shorter and tend to have
more rocker, while tripping canoes are longer, with less rise from end to end. Tripping canoes also have
maximum space for storage, allowing the transport of food and gear for extended trips. Whitewater
canoes are designed for maximum maneuverability and a higher water line to keep the boat drier while
paddling through whitewater rapids. Canoes of both varieties come in solo and tandem models.

Old Town > Charles River
“It is extremely graceful in appearance and very steady, combining
beauty in outline with speed and ease of paddling.” That’s how Old
Town’s 1903 catalog described their then-new Charles River canoe,
and it seems that those words ring just as true today. The Charles
River combines yesterday’s classic design, flared with tumblehome
cross-section, and contemporary materials to provide performance
with greater durability and less weight, giving intermediate to
advanced paddlers a canoe that matches the ‘ideal canoe’ picture
in their minds with performance they’ve dreamed of. Shallow arch
bottom provides good overall stability. Tumblehome well above
the waterline allows smaller paddlers to reach the water without
having to compromise stability by leaning over.

Recreational >>
Recreational kayaking involves leisure activities for the casual paddler on lakes, inlets, or flatwater
streams. Recreational kayaks are characterized by a large cockpit opening for easy entry and exit, a
wide hull for increased stability on the water, and a medium length for compromise between speed
and maneuverability. Due to the wider hull, recreational kayaks will not track as well as sea kayaks but
the extra stability makes them suitable for a wide range of paddlers and skill levels. They generally
have less cargo space as well as limited capacity to keep water out of the boat since they are meant
exclusively for calm water paddling. They come in solo and tandem models, can be used in a variety
of settings, and are the perfect option for individuals or families looking for relaxed fun on the water.
Recreational boats are generally less expensive than whitewater or touring kayaks, with less specialized
designs and fewer advanced features. They presently make up the largest segment of kayak sales and
are the most steadily growing market.

Kayak Fishing >>
In the past several years kayak fishing has become a huge sport. People can be seen fishing from
kayaks on coastlines, rivers, bays and inlets around the world. Anglers enjoy the quiet access offered
by a kayak; they also appreciate the ease of transporting a kayak as opposed to a larger rowboat or
powerboat. Popularity has grown in part due to the ease of entry into the sport. Especially compared
to powerboats, fishing kayaks can be purchased inexpensively and have few maintenance costs. They
can be stored in small spaces and launched quickly. Most designs offer great stability and ease of
maneuverability. The new generation of twinhull (catamaran) kayaks recently introduced into the market
is stable enough to enable both paddling and fishing in the standing position. Anglers don’t have to
remain in a seated position for hours on end, and increased visibility from the standing position means
more fish. There are also kayaks propelled by flippers or propellers and a foot mechanism. These kayaks
offer hands-free fishing and all the benefits associated. Some kayak manufacturers offer special models
for fishing that are designed and accessorized for this sport, including specially-designed hatches,
built-in rod holders, catch bags and equipment mounts.

position fully extends the outriggers into their patented
“in-line position” for maximum efficiency when paddling,
fishing or poling. Now you can stalk fish with less drag and
water movement or gain additional paddling stability in more
challenging paddling conditions.

storage compartments, 2 flush mount rod holders, a casting
brace and stabilizing bar, high back seat and many more.
Available colours are yellow, blue, olive and sand.

SUP >>
One of the fastest growing segments of paddlesports, every day more and more people around the
world are hopping on stand up boards and heading out to enjoy the water. From fitness to family
fun, from surfing waves to racing long distance, stand up has a broad appeal for anyone with
access to lakes, rivers, or oceans. SUP involves standing on a large, wide board and paddling with
a long, one-bladed paddle to propel oneself forward and turn the board when necessary. SUP offers
enthusiasts an excellent core workout and the sport has grown in popularity among fitness fans
with access to safe waters. Some surfers have converted to SUP because of its versatility. Stand
up paddle boarding offers surfers the ability to catch more waves in a set, as well as have a better
view of incoming sets. Original stand up boards were made like a surfboard, with epoxy resin and
fiberglass around foam core. However, many companies are coming out with rotomolded plastic
designs to offer more durable boards.

Inflatable and foldable kayaks provide paddlers with an ease of transport that few other boats can offer.
Inflatables and foldables can be packed into compact cars, carried on pack trips, and carried on airplanes
without extra charge. They come in all shapes and sizes and are built for a wide variety of uses.
Inflatable boats are found on many beginner and intermediate stretches of river, allowing paddlers with
little or no experience to enjoy the fun and excitement of whitewater. They are durable, maneuverable,
and incredibly stable. Specialized inflatables are light enough and pack small enough to be carried
on backpacking trips, enabling enthusiasts to alternately hike and float through wilderness areas.
Inflatables are often made from Hypalon or Denier nylon with a urethane coating. They come in solo
and tandem models, with speed and agility varying greatly by design.
Foldable kayaks generally consist of an aluminum or plastic frame with a synthetic skin stretched over
it. They can be used in a wide variety of situations and stand up to tough conditions. They are used by
recreational paddlers, expedition kayakers, and the military. Constructed well, they are very seaworthy
and because of their transportability they can be carried just about anywhere.

Grabner’s Invader is similar to the other Grabner rafts, but with
considerably bigger diameter and dimension of the side-tubes.
Due to this fact, passenger seating is much more comfortable.
Twist- and flex resistance is one of the rafts’ distinct properties,
like the extent of buoyancy, which offers high loading capacity.
Ideal for commercial rafting companies, the Invader is available
in a Small, Medium and Large version for 7, 9 or 11 people
respectively. Grabner’s Invader rafts are in use all over the world.
Regulations appertaining to commercial rafting substantially
vary from country to country.

Symmetrical rafts of 3.3m, 3.9m, 4.3m, 5.0m and 5.5m sizes
are traditional for many users and work well in challenging
river conditions. Square Back rafts get the crew weight back,
give a longer waterline for better tracking and are perfect for
exceptionally steep and technical rivers where extra technique is
required from the guide and a bit more stability is appreciated.

NRS > GigBob Personal Fishing Cataraft
GigBob… inflatable, frameless, ingenious. A personal fishing
boat that can be rowed and is rigid without a frame. The
patented frameless design means you can fold it up and pack it
on your back without having to break down a frame. The dropstitch construction lets you put 4-6 pounds per square inch of
air pressure into the multiple air chambers, for a stiff, ‘rocksolid’ rigidity. The 15 square feet deck gives plenty of space for
all your tackle, cooler, extra rods, heck even the family dog.
The pontoons are wide and flat, for excellent stability. And the
flat bottoms give you a very shallow waterline. Easily detach
the pontoons with NRS’s batten attachment system for an even
lighter weight kickboat. The comfortable seat and built-in foot
pegs give you full support for an all day fishing expedition.

Baselayer >>
Base layers provide thermal insulation to keep paddlers warm on the water. Base layers are constructed
with a variety of fabrics, but share the ability to help paddlers retain body heat even when wet. Neoprene
and polypropylene dominated the outdoor adventure base layers market for many years. Recently,
as manufacturers have been able to make fabrics more comfortable, wool has experienced popular
resurgence as an effective thermal layer. Base layers come in tops with short, long or no sleeves and
pants or shorts, depending on the level of thermal protection needed and the range of motion desired.
Neoprene offers high insulative value along with minor protection against potential bumps or scrapes
on the river. Wool and polypropylene come in a variety of thicknesses and densities and offer a range
of thermal qualities.

Gear, and

Water shoes are made to perform a range of the following functions: protect feet, keep them warm, and
provide a solid grip while walking or climbing on coastlines or riverbanks. Designs vary depending on
the terrain the shoes are intended for and the size of the boat they are meant to be worn in. Soles
can be thick or thin, stiff or flexible. Water shoes can of slim construction, like slippers, for wearing
in tight-fitting boats, warm weather, or for short walks to and from the water. They can also be of a
sturdy build for cold weather or for walking longer distances in varied conditions.
Safety gear has been the focus of much R&D in the paddlesports industry. Designers and Manufacturers are
always looking for ways to make paddling as safe as possible, while realizing some risk is inherent.
An enormous variety of accessories have been designed around the various disciplines of paddling
and there is likely an accessory out there to suit the need of just about any paddler, in any boat, on
any piece of water.

Mango, Black, Red - Resistance: 1454 kg (3200 lb) Weight: 700 g (1.5 lb)
The HF Compact Syntec 20m whitewater throwline’s the
most versatile line we’ve ever used. The rope is cored with
Syntec (which is very similar to Spectra) so not only is the
rope inherently buoyant, it’s also a lot more suitable than
standard floating rope for ropework and access scenarios.
The bag itself is packed with features, including a quick
release buckle to keep it securely in your boat and ready for
action. The HF Compact Syntec 20m whitewater throwline
may cost more than the rest, but it’s an investment in
versatility and, most importantly, safety.
This amazing piece of gear was put together in association
with World Class Kayak Academy. It is perfect for steep
creeking and great for belaying boats and equipment. Long
enough to use as a quick harness, anchoring, safety rigging
and quick support for both on and off water applications. Its
uses are endless. The pouch is built small enough to attach
to your PFD or tuck into a pocket. It contains 14’ of 1/2”
high strength webbing with a locking carabineer attached to
each end. Reflective webbing gives it high visibility and the
drain holes keep the water out. Bar-tacked loops allow you
to adjust the working length. It also makes a great flip line.

THE KANUMESSE
PHILOSOPHY
>>
Kanumesse is a show focused solely on paddlesports. As an inclusive platform for every aspect of canoeing and kayaking,
Kanumesse can provide expert advice of the highest quality to attendees from all areas of the recreation sector.
What defines Kanumesse?
• Kanumesse is a trade fair -
The Kanumesse is and will remain a trade-only event. The Kanumesse supports rather
than competes with regional user events, which play an important role in strengthening and developing the paddlesports industry.
• Kanumesse is truly international -
Manufacturers come to Kanumesse from all over the world to build and
maintain their international relationships.
• Kanumesse is comprehensive –
Visitors at Kanumesse find the most comprehensive range of products available
and unrivalled access to the paddlesport community. The show is the meeting point for paddlesports manufacturers, distributors,
and retailers.
• Kanumesse’s timing is convenient - Kanumesse is an annual event held in September.

ispo and Kanumesse
put their trust in strategic
partnership
>>
These days, recognizing trends and keeping abreast of developments in the sporting goods market is more important than
ever for sports retailers. Therefore, it is ispo’s goal to provide the best possible overview of all facets of the sporting goods
market. In order to provide well-informed insight into the sport of canoeing, the leading international sporting goods trade
show cooperates with the international canoeing exposition, Kanumesse. Following the successful premiere during ispo 2009, the two
partners continue to expand their cooperation for 2010. Reciprocal representation at each exposition is only part of the collaboration.
The information booths offer trade show visitors a direct and first-hand impression and details on the partner event, and demonstrate the
opportunities and potential these markets offer. “During the last years we have observed the fact that canoeing innovations increasingly
have become established in outdoor, camping, leisure, and fishing retail stores. This is evidence that individual sports segments can no
longer be strictly separated, and there are many synergic benefits. We have a longtime friendship with Mr. Horst Fürsattel, the organizer
of the Nuremberg-based trade show, and also share common interests, which become useful in this partnership,” says Markus Hefter,
ispo Exhibition Group Director. For more information please visit www.ispo.com or www.kanumesse.de.
Past, Present & Futur*
- From summer-ispo to the “European Outdoor””
The dates of trade shows are generally decided by the large sportswear manufacturers. The canoe industry, although it plays no part in these decisions,
still tries
to be a part of it all. Until the early ‘90s the summer-ispo was for many decades the most important trade show for the canoeing industry. The date was
moved
earlier and earlier, from September to early August. There was a lot of unrest because August is also the time for summer sales, rafting, and canoe rental.
The
general outdoor sector had similar problems and needed a trade show that would suit them. In 1994 the “European Outdoor” was born and the canoe
industry
took part and enjoyed the success of this trade show. Over the years the date for the “European Outdoor” has also steadily come forward and is
now well
established in July. The consequences for the canoe industry were catastrophic. Both exhibitors and visitors found the dates of the show impossible to
work with.
The result was that important exhibitors stayed away and with them the visitors, who if they came were not interested in buying.
- Rock bottom
We reached rock bottom in 2003 when more canoe traders and manufacturers were doing business at a makeshift show in October than at the organized
trade
shows. The “European Outdoor” offers ambience, service, and professionalism at the highest level. In addition to that the synergistic effects of the
different
sectors of the outdoor industry are extremely valuable. Nevertheless, the timing was impossible for the paddlesports industry.
- Communication problems
The “European Outdoor” tried to win back the exhibitors. There was an offer of more space and an extended fringe program, but it met with no success.
Poor
communication contributed to the problem because the relocation of the canoe sector to a better area within the exhibition was interpreted as an attempt
to
push the canoeists into the corner. The good intentions of the exhibition never really came across.
- Out of the shambles arose something new
The state of affairs in February, 2004 was that the central market place for the canoeing industry had ceased to exist and that Europe’s canoe industry
was
homeless. It couldn’t get any worse so it was decided that we needed to help ourselves out of this mess and build and organize something new, for
the canoe
industry by the canoe industry. The Rohrdorf location was already well known to the visitor from the 2003 “show.” In 2004, however, instead of the
amenity
rooms at the Post Hotel, we managed to secure the modern sport centre. The interest was immense and the 1200 m2 floor space was sold out within
days. The
exhibitors who missed out were given a small stand in the foyer or balcony so that they could at least be in attendance. Even in its first year, it looked
like the
Kanumesse could become the most important canoe trade show in Europe.
Five years later Kanumesse is going strong, we’ll have to wait and see where it goes, but the future looks bright!

• 2010 Visitor Guide:
Philosophie
Die Kanumesse bietet allen Varianten des Kanusports eine
Plattform. Sie beschränkt sich aber konsequent auf das
Thema Paddelsport und bietet hier Experten-Informationen höchster Qualität. Für Teilnehmer aus den Bereichen
Freizeitsport, Camping / Caravaning, Wassersporthandel,
Outdoor und Kayakfishing ist die Kanumesse erste Adresse
für kompetente Information zum Thema Paddelsport.
• Is there a catalogue?
Kanumesse weltweit
Die Kanumesse ist der Platz für Hersteller aus aller Welt
um internationale Geschäftsbeziehungen zu bilden und
zu pflegen.
Trade Fair
The Kanumesse is and will remain a trade only event.
The Kanumesse supports rather than competes with
regional end user events, which are important to
strengthen and develop the paddle sport industry.

sport. The focus is solely on paddle sports and therefore

etc the Kanumesse is the only place to get professional
information about paddle sports.

information. It will be available free of charge at the help desk on location at Kanumesse 2010.

Die Kanumesse bleibt eine Fachmesse. Wir sehen die
Notwendigkeit starker, lokaler Verbraucher-Veranstaltungen für die Weiterentwicklung unserer Industrie und
unterstützen diese statt mit in Konkurrenz mit ihnen zu
treten.
