Escape Kayaks

We have ceased production and have only been tending to a few customers in the 2 years since moving from Willetton. My health and the economic toll on the industry from the ubiquitous cheap imports overcame our ability to stay above water. We have a quantity of stock of seats, hatches and bags, as well as paddle straps and soft roof racks which are for sale. I've posted the ads in my personal account and will copy them all here.

I'm living, {with my rabbit of course} at Gingin, which is not convenient for most of our customers I realise. However, I will deliver them to an address close to our old place once I have ensured there's interest enough. Of course we can post as well.

My most sincere ell wishes are extended to all our customers. Managing Escape Kayaks was a pleasure and heart-felt commitment to a product I believed wholeheartedly in and still do. Only the ravages of time and capriciousness of the economy, both bigger than me have stopped us eventually and I am sorry to be saying this is the end. I enjoyed more than two decades of meeting and often becoming friends with so many of you. I remain as always at the service of any of you who require it and hopefully can be of help. My kayaks will outlive me I am sure. Because the upper and lower limits of both are known.

With sincerest love and good wishes to you all. I hope you still enjoy your kayaks and that you will continue to do so for many years to come.

Our Escape Kayak Pacer XS is still after it was first designed 25 years ago in New Zealand the only sit-on-top which is so versatile and easy to transport. There are countless ways of utilising the design to ensure security (bike chain or cable through the scupper holes or drain holes) and a practical solution alone on roof racks including soft ones the best of which we sell and any standard roof rack.

Many of our customers have customised trailers, caravans and campers to take these. Of the few examples I just found going back through a few years and just today you will see various solutions and there are many more but what you need never see in any picture of our kayaks being transported is Kayak cradles on the roof racks. Our kayaks do not need these, they are silly things when not being used and in our case, are not even as easy and secure a load as we can achieve without them.
