Tootega Catalyst
NZ$1,099.00
The Catalyst is all about having fun in whitewater. Style the river with minimum fuss!
This sit on top design instantly removes the fuss traditionally associated with a whitewater kayak – allowing those new to whitewater, or perhaps those who do not want to sit inside a kayak to get out there and enjoy the whitewater environment with ease and to just enjoy the experience.
At the heart of the Catalyst is a super stable hull, based on the Bazooka hull-form designed by white water designer extraordinaire Celliers Kruger.
Tootega have taken this great hull and blended it with over 50 years of whitewater paddling experience within our own design team, along with our specialist construction and sit on top expertise, to create one of the most fun and most versatile boats out there!

Silverbirch Covert 9.3 Duratough
NZ$3,199.00
Sometimes you have to throw the rulebook away!
That’s exactly what Silverbirch have done with the Covert.. In development nothing was off limits and nothing was pre-set.
We simply sat down in our shaping room with a blank piece of paper and a simple brief: To create the fastest, most manoeuvrable and most predictable white water open canoe possible.
At the core of this philosophy is our stepped rocker profile. The step in the tail ensures a clean release of water from the stern, which not only reduces drag, but also helps to reduce the tendency for the tail to bog down on boily eddy lines or when getting bounced around by large lateral waves.
The sidewall profile of the boat is continually curved. This helps boost secondary stability and is carefully angled to keep the waterline width to a minimum. As the Covert is made to slide, spin, grind, boof and surf it’s way down the river we have searched the globe for the best materials to build it from. Every boat is built in-house by a dedicated team of paddlers, using a custom grade of super tough high-density polyethylene.

Silverbirch Broadland 15 Duralight
NZ$2,549.00
Inspired by the classic Prospector the Broadland has been designed as a really versatile boat that will inspire confidence.
Silverbirch aimed for a design with excellent primary and secondary stability and achieved this with a flatter mid section to the hull but with enough rocker to allow for manovourability. These features along with other more subtle changes to the hull shape makes for a great boat for families looking for an easy to use canoe or more exprienced paddlers wanting a nice boat to paddle. It can be paddled either in tandem or solo thanks to the symetrical shape.
The Broadland 15 is outiftted with vinyl gunwhales, webbing seats, plastic end caps and a carrying yoke as standard but is also available with Ash gunwhales and endcaps, a kneeling thwart and upgraded seats.
Duralite is Silverbirch's 3 layer PE comprising of an outer and inner layer of high density superliner PE (Whitewater Spec) sandwiching a low density foam core. The best available plastics and specialised roto moulding techniques combine to form a hull with the best weight stiffness and strength characteristics possible. A standard outfitting gives a weight of only 31.5kg.
Length = 14'11" Width at Gunwhale = 35.5" Depth at middle =14" . Silverbirch Canoes are made and designed in the UK.
