The Royal Flush
When not working on the Spade Kayaks website, I prefer to paddle the Royal Flush! [···]
Carlo Gatti
The Joker
I love the Joker, that’s the perfect kayak for me. It is fast, precise and it can literally fly. Perfect for any kind of river, from the big volume to the most rocky creek. [···]
Andi Haberländer
The Black Jack
The Black Jack is my absolute favourite kayak ATM. Its incredible, how fast it skips through Rapids If you keep her on line. Fast and playful, the bj wants to be paddled actively, but If you do so, it becomes a special blend. [···]
Louise Capel
The Black Jack
The first time I paddled the Black Jack I knew we were going to be friends. Forgiving of those indecisive moments but a willing ally when some extra speed or a tricky manoeuvre is needed, it’s a boat that I always look forward to paddling. [···]
Thomas Waldner
The Royal Flush
Favourite Spade Kayak: Royal Flush. This boat is amazing, super-fast, precise, handles well and despite its length, great to boof over every drop! Paddlers weighing from 70kg will enjoy this boat! [···]
Anup Gurung
The Royal Flush
Though I would pair up better with Black Jack, I’m in love with the Royal Flush. My Guru’s who designed it says “Royal Flush is your „Hattori Hanzo sword“ of extreme white water weapons.” Yes they are right! It’s fast, it’s precise and most [···]
Simon Redmann
The Black Jack
The Black Jack combines a perfect modern creekboat with huge potential of fun. It’s super fast, easy to maneuver, easy to keep it on line and easy to boof. It’s playful but also makes you feel safe on big rapids at the same time. [···]
Reiner Glanz
The Royal Flush
Favourite Spade Kayak: Royal Flush, its very fast and precise, still surprisingly easy to boof for its length, wants to be pushed and paddled with speed, light compared to others in its class, peforms well on technical creeks and pushy [···]
Sanna Haibach
The Black Jack
For me, the Blackjack is the perfect choice to cover all whitewater-delicacies i need. It is fast and super responsive! With it´s edgy shape i have alot of fun cruising around in easier whitwater catching eddies and boofing around. [···]
Vera Knook
The Black Jack
The Black Jack is my definite favorite. It is super playful and even when packed with gear for a multiday, it is easy to control without losing the fun factor, no compromise. I love carving into eddies and skipping from drops with this boat [···]
Stephan Thieme
The Black Jack
I‘m really in love with the Black Jack. For me as the Head of the German Trainer Team of NaturFreunde it is important to have a reliable and easy maneuverable kayak for light whitewater as well as for big rapids. [···]
Franz Puckl
The Royal Flush
Statement von Franz zum Royal Flush kommt in Kürze! [···]
Johann Castor
The Ace of Spades
Ace of Spades : i Love this boat to run big waterfalls and Steep Creeks i total Creek Machine. [···]
Nadine Bogenreiter
The Black Jack
I am totally in love with my Blackjack. With this beauty I found a creek boat that fits a women too. The kayak is easy to turn, super fast, sticks to the line and playful. But the best thing is when you boof it – feels like flying! [···]
Pirmin Dlugosch
The Black Jack
Black Jack, Ace of Spades or Royal Flush I don’t really care, because I love them all. [···]
Paul Hülser
The Black Jack
Absolutely in love with my BlackJack and super stoked to be the youngest team rider! The BJ is super easy to boof and easy to handle when it comes to bigger rapids. Its fast and super playful while paddling through a level 3 boulder garden. [···]
Bethan Palmer
The Queen of Hearts
The title Queen of Hearts is the perfect name for this kayak. Being 5ft, I’ve spent so many years having to compromise my paddling style in order to fit the general market of boats that were too big a volume for me. [···]
