The JKK road show hit the Kupe Club in Wellington on Thursday with Jan Kees bringing three of his latest models and one of his prototype Surf skis. About a dozen people turned up mainly Wellingtonians but also Leon Rossbotham (Hong Kong) and Mike Ball (Levin) did more travelling to get here than most.
Most people knew exactly what kayak they wanted to try out. Sometimes it's difficult for many of us to make our minds up on what supposed people weight range kayaks are designed for or how wide or how long we envisage the kayak should be to fit into our or someone else ideals.More importantly the decision on what kayak you should buy sometimes comes down to how it feels when you paddle it.
So just go into it with an open mind you should be able to feel for yourself which kayak or surf ski is going to work for you.

Jan Kees may be back through to do another demo session after his 2 week journey up North where he will be racing at Trans Taupo, a beach series event in Auckland and a kayak Marathon in the Bay of Plenty..................that's what I call a great road trip.
Keep an eye out here for details of Jan Kees next demo session in Wellington. We'll also send info through to Mariska to e-mail out to you also.
