Anyone here have connection with Stealth?

I ordered and paid for parts from them in September 2019 which I never received, and was never given a tracking number so who knows where things went wrong

Since then have contacted them and was told this last October they would ship parts, still nothing...

My stealth 575 is in limbo until I get parts, and I’m wondering if anyone in the US is dealing with them since Headwaters severed their connections with the company?

To clarify I mean some kind of business connection, the reason being if they are sending a shipment of kayaks maybe they can send my little order along with that. I gather that the South African postal service is in a mess but there are other shipping options which I’d be willing to pay for if that’s necessary

I’ve been back and forth with them already about this, seems like I have to work out the logistics of getting the parts I paid for over a year ago sent

I need the parts to get the yak seaworthy again, otherwise it’s just a nice looking piece of high quality fiberglass sitting in our backyard

I can help with that. Email me at [email protected]

Hey Ruben,

Please remove the website url and phone number.

stealthkayaksUSA.com does not exist and that ain't your phone number.

I'm a bit frustrated trying to find someone who sells stealth kayaks in the USA.  Whatever sales system they have in the USA, SUCKS!

stealthkayaksUSA.com does not exist

Not sure where get that idea.  The domain is registered and it redirects to stealthkayaks.com.  email is configured to go to addresses for stealthkayaksusa.com correctly.

For a moment I felt like I was on stackoverflow...

Thanks Ghio.

I didn't say it was elegant or useful, I just said it wasn't broken 

One gets the impression that South Africa is a bit of a shit show at the moment Not sure that has any bearing on things but they haven’t had a great track record setting up and keeping channels open with the US market

Bruce’s dad went above and beyond getting my 575 to me, but it had to go a circuitous route from one random mode of transport to another until it landed here


Ruben, you out there?

I've got a friend that just retired and moved to SA but he's down in Jeffery's Bay. It is like 14 hours south of Durban so I'm not sure he can do much but I can put you in touch.
