French kayak company DAG have very kindly donated a brand new SX230 Cross Kayak as a prize, this is a great new product and is ideal for children.
If kayaking is going to develop, the equipment has to be accessible to all. At what age do children start skiing today? It has to be the same for kayaking. The SX230 is everything a first kayak should be. Its streamlining helps children discover new sensations while favouring the acquisition of sound kayaking technique. Parents are reassured by the security if offers, while the kids are just bubbling to try it out!
