| Knysna Racing, based
in Knysna, South Africa manufacture a wide range of sea and
river kayaks, surfski's, canoes, paddles and accessories.
Knysna Racing Kayaks & Paddles was formed in 1991. Initially
the production was just paddles, especially the then new “wing”
types, but soon branched into kayaks, surfskis, knee boards
and canoes.
Currently we have a large stable of South African
craft for all canoeing disciplines and leisure. Our latest
releases are the Matrix (K1) and Clone(K2), new generation
parallel-sided kayaks. Both are proving themselves at races.
All our craft can be built in a variety of lay-ups, from standard
to vacuum molded carbon / kevlar.
Hubby Sandberg has been with the company from
the beginning. His 30 years of experience in river and sprint
paddling has equipped him with the knowledge and feel for
kayak and canoe design. His design skills go back as far as
1983 when he designed the first successful South African river
kayak, the Tiger.
Albert Wasserman, who’s love for the sport
encouraged him to leave his career in law to join us in 2001,
is now the factory manager. Over the years we have boasted
many kayak wins, in both sprint and marathon river racing
Knysna Racing Kayaks & Paddles will be constantly improving,
and always at the forefront of design technology.
