Sit on Tops and Wave Skis

10% off all kayaks

We guarantee the best prices in Cornwall

Sit on top kayaks, wave skis and surf skis manufactured by Islander Kayaks, Feelfree kayaks and Wilderness Systems, they are compact,lightweight, look good and paddle well.    We have been involved with waveskis/surfskis and early sit on models for many years and as a kayak designer/manufacturer ourselves there was really no other choice when deciding which were the best brands to stock for paddlers to use in Cornwall. We have been stocking the Wilderness Systems range of Tarpon sit on tops since 2004 and they can justifiably claim to be the ultimate sit on kayaks

Tarpon 100                                   £515
(or £520 with feelfree deluxe glass paddle)
3.0m x 75cm 21kg
capacity 145kg

A really nice design with plenty of attention to detail from this third generation range of sit on top kayaks. Makes some of the popular models from other manufacturers look very ancient. If you want to do a bit more than just mess about on the beach and fancy a bit of distance kayaking down the coast this is the model of choice. A bit more expensive but worth every penny of it. Can be fitted with rod holders for some serious fishing (see below). Tarpon 100 now made in UK.

paddler up to 100kg

complete with surf backrest

The ideal fun sit-on-top kayak at a size the solo user can actually carry alone! Soft contour deck, 4 position footwell.

Islander Paradise                            £342
2.85m x 75cm 18kg
paddler up to 100kg 16st (optimum max 14st)
complete with surf backrest

Our best seller a few years back in it's Wilderness Systems guise. A good looking great all-rounder suitable for cruising modest distances and messing around in the surf. Excellent crossover model between the Ripper/Hula and the Tarpons. Comfy seating/footwell, small rear hatch. Particularly suitable for smaller paddlers wanting a compact yet very fast and easy to paddle kayak.

Islander Calypso Sport                  £360
3.0m x 75cm 19kg
paddler up to 145kg 22st (optimum max 20st)
complete with surf backrest

Excellent new all-rounder with a high capacity but comfortable for paddlers of all sizes. A fine uplifted bow with lots of flare gives very dry directional paddling yet the centre hull section makes it very stable. Good for all sea conditions. Plenty of room in the cockpit which has moulded-in footrests and a small hatch as well as the larger bow hatch.

Bargain: a no frills standard Calypso is only £300, that's £270 to you, cheaper and better by far than a Nomad Expedition!

complete with 2 surf backrests

The best tandem option for solo paddling, features a very clean efficient hull for minimum drag and excellent performance in crosswinds. Narrow deck for easy paddling, but note that the front seating position is best for paddlers under 5'10".
