Switchblade Sea kayak

Recent 3 day trip.. paddler 6ft 1in (183cm) 238 Lbs (108 kgs) with three days camping gear on board. The Switchblade trimmed and paddled perfectly.

Bagged and Wheeled and read to go.

We lent the Switchblade prototype to some apartment dwelling friends. We received these pics back. Its a Tiny apartment and they have manged to make the two pieces of kayak look like furniture. Guests have asked " so where did you get the cool sculpted stands from. Can you see a set of these in your apartment?

Its taken a lot of work to get to this stage. We are now so close to production.

The switchblade 17ft sectional Sea kayak being tested by Josh Brown, World Junior Paddle Board Champion and current Nutri Grain Iron Man competitor. Immediately after this was taken he started in a grueling Iron Man event which included running, surf ski paddling and paddle boarding. Josh is 6Ft 4 tall and weighs 189 lbs or 90 kgs. We usually only recommend the kayak as being suitable for people up to 6ft 2 but he fitted in and really enjoyed his paddle through the surf. Normally he competes on a surf ski in Iron man events so he found the Switchblade interesting. It was his first paddle in a sea kayak and he didn't know what to do with the spray deck when I handed it to him...LOL.

Becasue of the amount of interest we have recieved we decided to manufacture in plastic instead of fibreglass. That way we can keep up with demand and make it cheaper. So here are some pics of the 3D computer model that will be used to make the mould for the plastic version. The piece in the middle of the cockpit is the aft hatch which is cut from the waste of the cockpit. What do you think of the way it looks?

Darn It! Looks like theses guys have already solved the problem.
Maybe not?

sideways Ok I saw this tonight. Not exactly the best way to transport a kayak.

Here it is. The worlds first 2 minute click together 17ft Sea Kayak being clicked together in under 2 minutes..LOL

IMG 0002 This is the new Switchblade Sea Kayak design which is about to go into production. As you can see it fits on the back seat of your car. The new clip together...

For those of you who keep asking how on earth do you get a hard shell 17ft kayak to fit on the back seat of a car, here is how it's done. 17ft down to 4ft.

The Switchblade 17ft sea Kayak in the back of a Subaru sedan. The smallest car we have manged to fit a switchblade into so far is a Nissan Micra which is one of the smallest cars on the road.

Seeing the switchblade Kayak nested away and then taking the pieces and clicking them together in 2 minutes is amazing. Suddenly you are looking at 17ft sea kayak form a package that you can take on a plane.
