Had a look at it last year. Very basic, you can get a better deal from I-canoe or greatoutdoors. The boat has no backrest and no adjustable bulkhead, just pegs.

true statement bren.

But i can only imagine then, that this boat would be best suited to the sporadic outdoor enthusiast... you know the type, the type of person who also enjoys air-lifts and mountain rescue searches and the like.

Simon, I don't doubt Lidl Plastic, I'm sure it's of the same high quality as their fortified wine: Schooner....

I just know that you didn't buy a creeker.

Title: Re: Lidl Kayak
Post by: Diarmaid on April 01, 2008, 11:05:30

Schooner is made of Tesco plastic. Lidl, I believe, use rotomolded Hoch.

your right there, the winner of the female clifden rodeo would know about being hard core, where the best move is a flat spin and front surfing will probably get you on the irish freestyle team.

damn the lot of you, freshers if you looking for a boat which is cheap and casn definitly be brought over seas to places like BC, the french alps and Norway just buy this, everyone else is so brand loyal they'll never say anything could about it. i love it!!

I'm surprised Dave's not spreading word about this boat as vigourously as he spread yeast infections over most of the countries bordering the alps. Think about it Dave, when you borrow and trash this boat it's only gonna cost you a fraction of the previous ones. Plus I'm sure they'll take back the wrecked remains of the tub, stick it in the oven with a load of returned broken plastic tupperware products and spit out a new one for half the price.

Pia's just been on to me. Apparently the club's put in an order for ten of these bad boys. They'll be perfect for all levels of learning.

its called the eskimo fuse dave, because once you light the fuse its like a rocket, fast, dangerous and deadly

Title: Re: Lidl Kayak
Post by: david on April 01, 2008, 15:27:14

It's deadly and dangerous cos it's got foot pegs instead of a foot plate....
