Something exciting for everyone!!!

As the new season starts we have some great news to bring you about new brands that we will be stocking here at Brookbank Warwick. New kayaks, canoes and inflatables will be with us shortly.

First off:

 
Following the closure of Yorkshire Canoes we will now be importing Mohawk canoes. Our first container is due to be with us in late March. If you want any specific models ordering please let us know by February 13th at the latest.


 
Airis Inflatables
These are truly unique inflatables! They will keep their shape through the unique AirWeb construction. You can read more about them on our website www.canoesandkayaks.co.uk or by checking out their brochure here


 
We have just received the latest Thunder and Magnum models. Information on these firm favourites can be found at http://www.canoesandkayaks.co.uk/product/452/Magnum_Riot and http://www.canoesandkayaks.co.uk/product/2866/Thunder_Riot 
Don't forget to check out the special offers section on our website for great discounts on older models!!! It is here

We all knew they were vicious!

Classic 80's Euro Topo!!

A bit of classic Topo action that I was reminded of recently but I dont think health and safety at the Nene would let you get away with it.
For more crazy German 80's antics do a search on youtube for Family Mad!!

New Boats

New from LiquidLogic and ready for the spring we will shortly have in store the:

Coupe


Versatility is the name of the game these days when it comes to getting your money’s worth and the Coupe offers it up in large doses. This one-of-a-kind hybrid design is fun, stable, easy to paddle and is as comfortable on rivers and lakes as it is riding your favorite ocean break. The Coupe is the choice when looking for one sit on top that can and will do it all. The Coupes hull is whitewater ready with soft edges for easy control and the bow is upswept allowing the Coupe to ride up and over river features as well as staying high and dry when taken in the surf zone. On quiet waters such as lakes and bays the Coupe transforms to a touring sit-on-top with a flick of the lever deploying its spring loaded skeg; a feature not found on any other sit-on-top kayak. With Al la cart seating to meet your personal needs and preferences, the Coupe offers up unparallel comfort and control.

Deuce Coupe



Double your pleasure, double your fun -- that’s the motto of this tandem sit on top kayak. Like its solo counterpart, the Deuce Coupe is the most versatile tandem sit on top ever produced and the only tandem sit-on-top kayak with a deployable skeg for tracking. With the skeg tucked away, the Deuce Coupe steers effortlessly from the stern and solo seating positions while paddling rivers and back bays, but with the skeg in the down position, the Deuce Coupe tracks straight and true. This versatile sit-on-top is especially family friendly with three seats and plenty of space for additional gear.



Also new instore we have the New Clearwater 156 Open Canoe. An Ideal All rounder for the family or Club user.



Package Deals and invidual prices are available on our website or in store.

Instructor needed for casual work

With the economic situation some extra pennies are hard to come by, but we are looking for a Kayak and Canoe Instructor to work on a casual basis. The right candidate will need to be BCU qualified and have previous experience in teaching adult groups.

This year we will be operating a number of trips and courses locally for adult groups, it is anticipated that the successful coach will be require to work 1 weekend and one evening per week on an agreed basis.

Please email keith@brookbank.co.uk with a brief covering letter on experience and qualifications. If you have any questions please call me on 01926 640 573 and ask for the manager.

We want your photos!

We are keen to find out what people have been doing during this cold snap, so we would love to see your photos or even videos of your snow boating, ice paddling or in fact anything to do with snow & boats. We will publish the best ones we receive on our blog (credited to you of course).

Snow boat pics

Unfortunately due to poor piste conditions Sundays session of snow boating was called off but one of the youngest members of  the Brookbank team managed to get out and throw a few 360's.

Snowboat v1 success




Well after much planning (about 2 minutes) Keith turned what was a fluid nemesis hull into a sledge. After the first tests today reports are that this boat is awesome! One of the fastest sledges out there on the slopes with the ability to flat spin til your dizzy. Unfortunately technical failures meant no action shots but hopefully a further dump of snow tonight will allow further trials which will be captured on camera.

South West Sea Kayaking


One of the blogs that I regularly read is Mark Rainsley's South West Sea Kayaking blog so I thought I would share this with you all!! The photos are nothing but impressive.

We still have 15% off whitewater boats over £499


Give us a call on 01926 640 573 to order your new boat for the new year.

Great new safety lights from Navisafe
