Equipment
At Venice Kayak we know that a good paddling experience requires good equipment so we have tried to make as few compromises as possible.
Our kayaks are from Point 65° N, Sea Kayak Design and Rainbow. We have mixed fiber glass and PE boats, and boats suitable for beginners as well as for more experienced kayakers. We have strived for variety so there is a boat for almost any taste and skill level in our fleet.
The PFDs are from Yak and CSR. They are chosen because they are not too bulky and with a front zipper, so they can be partially opened when its hot. An adjustable waistband will keep the PFD in place even with the zipper open.
Paddles are mostly from TNP. We also have a handful of locally made Greenland paddles available, from the Venetian oar maker Paolo Brandolisio.
