Find adventure on the water
We are introducing two new inflatable stand-up paddleboards, Longshore and Delta. With a total load weight of 120kg, both boards offer adaptability from single users to a more ‘loaded’ board for multi-day adventures. Thanks to drop stitch technology, each board is rigid and stable with a 15cm thickness, also aiding with buoyancy. Built to last with a durable, UV-resistant PVC and repair kit, Longshore and Delta can withstand life around the water’s edge.
The boards are easy to inflate with the included double action pump and take down to the water’s edge, thanks to the sturdy carry handle and rucksack-style storage bag. Complete with an adjustable 3-piece aluminium paddle to suit each user’s height and paddle style, Longshore and Delta are set to make unique summer adventures.
Longshore is more specifically designed for touring and optimised for speed and efficiency on longer voyages and multi-day trips. The pointed bow allows paddlers to cut through choppier waters and is suitable for rivers, lakes, canals and seas. Paired with the longer and narrower profile and available in two lengths, Longshore suits those who are more confident and want to focus on speed and covering distance.
Delta is an all-rounder inflatable paddleboard. Designed with a wider width and available in two lengths, Delta offers more stability and ease of manoeuvrability on lakes, rivers, canals and seas. Ideal for novice paddlers or more experienced paddlers who prioritise staying dry(!), Delta is well suited for day paddles and those seeking leisurely multi-day adventures.
Take to the waters
Oxbow is our 2-person inflatable canoe made for coastal exploration and multi-day touring on rivers, lakes, and canals. Featuring rigid drop-stitch technology, which provides greater speed and stability than traditional inflatable canoes, Oxbow has all the portability benefits. It is packable and stores away easily into a rucksack-style carry case that makes transport from the car to the waterside seamless.
Featuring a 3-chamber drop-stitch inflatable hull with the included dual-action pump, Oxbow offers a semi-rigid structure for greater stability during choppier water. Ideal for longer-distance paddling routes, Oxbow comes with two adjustable cushioned seats with backrest, footrest, and handy storage pockets in the back, front and rear splash covers with bungee cargo areas, and two paddles.
Available for pre-order and in selected stores from mid-June, Longshore SUP retails at £349.99, Delta at £329.99, and Oxbow at £749.99. With ten shop-in-shops across the UK, Alpkit offers a unique experience. Renowned for its exceptional service, and with plans for further product developments and launches, Alpkit is committed to supporting the evolution of the multi-disciplinary consumer.
