I bought the Nomad model on this website, waiting to arrive. They said arround 10 days. I will keep you updated about the service if anyone is interested. I was looking for a high quality kayak to go on the sea and river.
It's a sit-on-top kayak, and the guy on the picture is using it on the waves so i think it would be fine.
Price seem reasonable to me (20 000 bahts + 1 200 for shipment), i found the link on a thai forum where thai people were talking about kayaks. In Khao Takiab they have one for rent from this brand, it's the blue kayak on the right on the beach.

All the kayaks I've seen here (plastic) and the ones we have (fibre glass) are sit-on kayaks - ok for the river but certainly not for the sea.
If you want to go to sea in it, you certainly need the sit-in variety, and not plastic.
Under no circumstances should one venture into the ocean in a sit-on plastic kayak because this might happen:

Thought you would have taken delivery of the ''fake ferrari'' by now Johan.... didn't you think to include a roof rack? Business guy like you, I'm stunned

I never said i was buying a fake ferrari, i asked if anyone heard of it and i said it would be nice to have one too. That's all. You can troll every topic if you like, you have nothing else to do i believe.
NOT for beginners without supervision. A number of basic and emergency techniques need to be mastered before you even think about going into ocean waves or fast moving water.

Crazy 88
These things look more like a surfboard.... I'd spend more time in the water.
Not been in a canoe in a long time, and can't say I've even been in a kayak..... what exactly IS the difference? Certainly would like to have another go and to be honest the one in Johan's pics actually does look good........ even though I hate to say it

If you're curious what the hard core ocean kayakers do in experts only conditions, check out http://tsunamirangers.com/ In 1985 I saw a slide show by the guy who runs the web site. They're still crazy after all these years.

I haven't been in one since I was a teenager but a kayak is a form of canoe based on those used by the Inuits or Eskimoes for use on the sea.
They tend to be longer and narrower and they track better, that is go in a straight line.
Canoes are shorter and flat bottomed and also the open boats based on those used by American Indians are a form of canoe.
