Well, I have been waiting for the right time to share this with y'all... I guess there's no point in continuing to put it off.




























I got a pro-deal with Stealth Kayaks out of South Africa!
I started emailing with Brett Challenor (the owner) a few months back and a few weeks ago he decided to sponsor me in a ProFisha 475. I'm totally in love with this boat. It's just what I had been looking for. I've been caught out in the wind and chop enough times to now that my T-13 just isn't up for longer paddles home when the shiz hits the fan. And the T-15 is just too heavy for and old fart like me to be loading and unloading into that battleship of a truck I drive.  So I bought a Scupper Pro thinking that a faster, lighter boat would solve the problem and just as I was about to start pimping it out I discovered the ProFisha 475. WOW  :smt055 this thing is beautiful! Ultra light, wicked fast and just plain SEXY! I like to think of Stealth as the Ducati of the kayak world. We've decided on "colours" (that's right, custom paint  :smt040) and it should ship (literally, on a boat) at the end of this month. Given the unpredictable nature of container shipping I'm hoping it'll be here by mid-november. I'm totally excited and hope to see/share a mock up soon. I'll keep you posted.
