Fluid Detox

The long awaited Fluid Detox is about to hit our rivers. The Medium size is shipping now and the Small and Large will go into production soon.For paddlers who want a creekboat with a playboat hull; for paddlers who want to run rivers and play on the way down; for paddlers who want an easy boat to learn in - there has never been a better suited kayak than the Detox.
The Detox hull incorporates a variation of the Nemesis rail system with super forgiving sidewalls and generous kick rocker to create an exciting but stable ride.

The Detox has ample volume and peaked deck to ensure controllable resurfacing when running drops. The deck profile and hull width make the Detox super easy to roll, inspiring confidence on difficult runs.

The Detox fills the gap between the Spice and the Solo in Fluids line-up. If the Spice is too playful for the type of rivers you want to run, and the Solo is too much of a full on creeker to enjoy on the easier runs then the Detox is THE boat for you.

Astral V-Eight Review

We recently recieved this email from a customer who purchased an Astral V-Eight breathable PFD.

Hi Leigh,
Finally the b...y rain has stopped.
We paddled across to Magnetic Island and back last Sunday. Start 6am back 10am.
Temp 32 degrees humidity 70% (sometimes 80%), with 5knot winds, crossed open seas for 8 kms.
Only once during the very last minutes did I open the vest to cool down.
Throughout the trip the vest was comfortable even though I perspire heavily in the chest area. It's design allowed the air to move freely even in the light wind. My arm movements were free and comfortable at all times. And when I jumped into the sea my head never looked like going under because the small back panel and larger front panels kept my head facing upwards. Great design.
I am very impressed and look forward to our next longer trip (this weekend) to see how it handles different conditions.
Thanks for a great product.
