As we anticipate the second half of the 2025/26 season, here's a little look back at our Christmas Break up. There are plenty more on water captures that I'll release in due course. Stellar Kayaks Australia

Ho Ho Ho!!!! It's a VERY Merry Christmas!!!
Stellar is freshening up the lineup, so they need to make room in the warehouse for the latest variants in the range. To make space on the racks they're having a clearance sale.
Up to 30% off selected models. There are some serious, genuine savings to be had. Stock is limited. If there was ever an excuse for a new boat, this is it!
We carry a large range of demonstration skis, so give us a shout for more details.

A cheeky little paddle on an unfamiliar section of the South Esk River. The multisport hulls and kickup rudders inspired the confidence to explore. Stellar Kayaks Australia

Hadspen tonight folks. Unfortunately for us, work commitments dictate that racing is not an option this week. We'll see you next week. Good luck to all paddlers. Let's see who gets the bragging rights tonight. Gun at 6:30pm. As always, it's not too late to join in the fun.

Chilly conditions greeted us this week. April and I hit the water to time trial after taking our turn timekeeping on week 1. It felt good to paddle this river again.
