Cutting-Edge, High-Performance Sea Kayaks

COVID IMPACT

• Covid has impacted everyone's supply of products and goods related to outdoor sports, not the least of which is kayaking.
• We had used a set of suppliers that over the years had a reasonably foreseeable supply program. So we knew how far in advance to order in case of running down on a particular item or product or, for that matter, kayaks themselves.
• For the foreseeable future the regular nice steady supply is simply gone. Suppliers themselves are out of goods, waiting not only for finished products, but parts and bits and pieces.
• In response we spend a sizeable portion of each day scouring for pfds, paddles, boats, jackets, dry suits and the like. When we do order, we no longer can predict with a reasonable certainty when goods or boats will arrive.
• Please understand our suppliers are working as hard as they can to play catch up. They've lost people to the disease, to work related issues, to the lock downs, etc. Getting back on stream is way harder than you might think.
• In addition, the demand for high end products in kayaking, such as the boats of Rockpool that we sell, which are bespoke and made by hand, has really taken off. Patience is the rule of the day.
• We will do our best to keep you informed throughout the process of "righting the ship" but please do bear in mind the circumstances of today.
• Above all, don't let the bad guys get you down.
