Celebrating 15 years with Peak UK


It has been a fantastic 15 years, I have kayaked, guided and travelled in some amazing countries.  Throughout that time I have been supported by Peak UK, their drive for top performance kayaking equipment is second to none.  
The infamous Ried Wave in Austria

Sun Koshi River in Nepal

The Colca Canyon in Peru

The ideas and designs that come out of the base in Darley Dale remind me of Corran's ground breaking kayak designs such as the Glide and Disco.

The Lower Misahualli in Ecuador

Nile Special on the White Nile, Uganda

Checking out a new river in Austria with John Blake

The Colca Canyon in Peru

Hot and sweaty after the portage on the Lower Misahualli

The Ardez Canyon in the Engadine, Switzerland

The innovative zip on the dry suit giving you that classic Peak UK freedom of movement to let your strokes and technique do the talking, the original topdec and of course the new pocket and fitting system on the River Guide pfd to name just a few have made a kayakers time on the river even more satisfying

A big water run on the Lower Kicking Horse in BC

The Grand Canyon of the Colorado

The Futaleufu in Chile's Patagonia

I myself can put a hand up to say that I have put the kit really to the test, be it in the Ecuadorian Jungle, the roof of the world in the Himalayas, Peru's Colca and Cotahuasi Canyons, Patagonia or back home in the Arlberg Region of Austria the names of exotic locations is certainly endless.

One thing is for sure, my Peak UK kit keeps performing no matter where i have been in the world and that keeps me smiling the most!!
