JBK - Surf Kayaking


Ross , just back with a new toy, unable to resist the need to own as many Surf Kayaks as possible I have acquired a new Carbon Scarab made by yours truly, with a little help from Malcolm and the boys at Mega. It was a very interesting week, with new techniques learned, and a lot of laughs. Back to the real world now, although I did manage to get in for a surf this morning with Tracy at the Husky Reef on the tail end of yet another East Coast Low ( 4th for the month ). The verdict on the Scarab, " well it rocks".

Ross currently in the UK working at Mega International. A brilliant week of working with Mal and his team of craftsmen. Learning techniques that position Mega Performance Kayaks as the Number one Surf Kayak Manufacturer in the World. "Working alongside Malcolm was a tremendous honour for me and this trip will ensure that we produce the highest quality product in line with the UK product". "I am amazed at the attention to detail that is given to every kayak that leaves the Mega Factory" Rossco.

JBK - Surf Kayaking

Ross Boardman Mega Oz, Mike Eggleton NSW Canoeing, Tracy Garner Mega OZ


Following a very successful meeting with NSW Canoeing's Mike Eggleton, we have formulated a plan to see Surfkayaking recognised as a discipline in the Australian Scheme. Such recognition comes with the commitment of other states, namely Western Australia and Queensland with events being organised and targeted at increasing the presence of Surfkayak, Waveski and Playboating activities. We at Mega Kayaks Australia are proud to be involved in the initial organisation of the demo days and competitions. Already scheduled are dates in September, February and NSW's first Competition in March 2008. Combined with the Australian, "Make for the Break Surf Kayak Club" activities , there is ample opportunity to build a base of paddlers to increase the skills and experience. So get Training guys we need some rising stars to showcase our sensational sport.
