The UK's leading manufacturer of performance kayaks
Kirton have long been keen on encouraging youngsters into kayak racing and were the instigators in the development of a Junior craft. The Tarka is the forerunner to the Lightning which was sponsored by the Marathon Racing Committee to be made in Polyethylene to provide a readily available cheap but heavier alternative.
The Tarka comes with a heavy duty, knock-resistant rudder as standard and 5 inch shortman footrest setup.
Check out our website to get a feel for the models that are of most interest to you. A good starting point is to look at the stability factor. Newcomers should aim for a 10.
Give us a call or send an email if you have any questions. After all, that's what we're here for! We won't sell you anything you don't need. We just want you to be in the right boat.
We'll need a minimum 10% deposit to secure your build slot. Do this as soon as possible to prevent delays to your order. The deposit may be paid by bank transfer or card.
We can only start your build once we have your final specification, so don’t delay too long. The choices can be overwhelming so please ask if you are unsure about anything.
We will give you a call or send an email when your boat is ready for collection. Full payment should be made before the boat leaves the factory, but you can look the boat over first.
Shipping kayaks is pricey so you'll probably want to collect the boat from our Devon factory. We can often deliver to the canoeing events we attending too.
Honest British Excellence. Kirton kayaks are a family run business and have been proudly designed and made in the Devon, England since 1966.
