About Elliott Kayaks

Yacaaba

Since 1969 we have been providing canoes and kayaks to families, recreationists and racers.

Elliott Kayaks has specialised in design and construction of lightweight canoes and kayaks for over 40 years. We have supplied our Australian made kayaks to World Title Representatives. Former World Long Distance record holder John Neilsen paddles an Elliott kayak. Elliott Kayaks have won many Australian titles.

Our kayaks have always been designed to the following criteria:

* Stable and fast
* Comfortable for long hours of paddling
* Run and glide effortlessly
* Lightweight
* Reinforced in all stress points

Elliott Kayaks offer quality at an affordable price. Touring and racing Elliott kayaks are world standard.

The Vindicator broke the Unrestricted K2 Class Record in the Hawkesbury Canoe Classic and then broke the record for the same class at the Murray Canoe Marathon.

Our Vulcan has won the open Double Long Recreational Touring class twice in the Hawkesbury Canoe Classic and holds the record for the Murray Canoe Marathon.

Craig Elliott designed all our fast kayaks. He has undertaken studies in Naval Architecture and works in a martitime consultancy. His efforts in bringing the prismatic coefficient of the Renegade to .62 resulted in 1st & 2nd place in the Long Recreational single kayak class in the Hawkesbury classic 2008 and 1st place in the Murray Canoe Marathon.

In 2007 Urs Mader was winning the Yukon at the 600 km checkpoint in an Elliott Reflection. However, due to food contamination he ended the race placing 2nd just 6 minutes behind the eventual winner.

Not everyone wins a kayak race, but it is nice to know many customers have recorded personal best times in an Elliott Kayak. Elliott Kayaks have proven to be equal or superior to any kayak in the world. Modern hydrodynamic computer designs by Craig Elliott and final shaping by his father Ron Elliott have produced a range of fast stable kayaks with hull speeds far higher than the normal hull speed formula predicts.

Our touring kayak range features lightweight, fast, stable kayaks suitable for novice to advanced paddlers. All our kayaks are designed to offer effortless paddling.

building Your kayak is individually hand made for you, with your choice of colour and fit out.

Construction is available in combination of fibreglass, carbon fibre and kevlar to suit your requirements and budget.
