Surf kayaking is easily accessible with surf available all over the country from Scotland to Cornwall, so there are plenty of places to get you started. There are no problems with access and you can give it a go in any kayak, literally! I started in a dagger rpm so go on give it a go. The beauty of kayak surfing is you can catch more waves than most board surfers.

We at Slaphappy import kayaks known as High Performance Surf kayaks. Whilst you can surf in plastic boats, the ultimate in performance comes from composite kayaks. These have a variety of performance designs and layup options, our high performance kayaks come in Standard Layup and Basic Layup options, view the construction page for more info.
