“The Crux represents Necky’s next evolutionary step in creeking. Long months of tweaking and careful evaluation resulted in a kayak that handles big hydraulics with poise and resurfaces after big drops like a champ. The Crux has surprising speed for its length and punches holes with authority. Shorter, quicker, and more controlled, the Crux still has enough volume for multi-day trips for the hardcore boater.Pictured in cloudburst; e-mail info@rockcreek.com or call 888.707.6708 for color availability.

“The Corryvrecken Fiberglass Touring Paddle from Werner offers full size blades ideal for well conditioned High Angle paddlers who want powerful strokes and enhanced blade maneuverability when linking several strokes. Also, the Corryvrecken is available in two shaft types, Straight or Neutral Bent Shaft. Both have their advantages: Paddlers are more familiar with straight shafts and like the light weight and ability to move their hands along a predictable, straight, and continuous grip area. Straight shafts are typically less expensive. The Werner Neutral Bent Shaft naturally aligns your wrist to reduce stress on joints. The neutral alignment, unique to Werner Paddles, creates a stable leverage point for bracing and all types of paddle strokes. Special indexing allows more hand contact with the shaft, reducing fatigue and increasing comfort.

“If you feel uncomfortably cramped in many of today’s tiny little performance boats and are tired of watching the smaller paddlers have all the fun, then Necky’s Elaho HV is the answer. Built on a realistic scale for big paddlers, the HV retains all the sportiness, responsiveness and fun of its smaller siblings. There is no compromise in performance, just enough volume to comfortably fit bigger paddlers looking for good lean turns and solid edging. The Necky Elaho HV is built for play and general sport touring. A clean, integrated look to the boat is enhanced by flush covers on the bow and stern hatches, which effectively eliminate kick–up from spray across the deck. There’s even a convenient day hatch behind the seat. Pictured in blue..Shipping: Please note that the shipping charge above applies to business address deliveries in the 48 states.
