HOW TO ORDER
The most important decision when choosing a K1 is to pick the correct boat. Choosing a K1 means mulling over a long list of characteristics and compromises. Paddling a K1 that is not correct for your size, weight and ability can be detrimental to your paddling and progression in the sport. At APS we will not sell you a boat that we do not think you are capable of paddling or that is not suited to your ability.
Choosing the right K1 takes time. You need to know which boat is the most suitable for you. You need to decide which volume is the most appropriate too. Once you’ve decided on those, you need to decide which construction suits your needs and budget – Lightweight? Bombproof? Extra stiff? Sprint weight?
Then – you need to decide which accessories your require: Seat type, Footrest, pull bar etc.
Finally – and possibly the hardest decision – which colour you would like. We may have some boats in stock that you like or you may like to custom order your own boat and choose your own design.
These aren’t decisions to be taken lightly, so we recommend giving us a call or dropping us an email to ensure we can supply you with the boat that is the best for you.
