Aspire
For the bold beginner.
A NEW BENCHMARK
The Aspire set out to achieve a new benchmark in the beginner category. Designed to be stable without compromising speed, the profile of the Aspire is heavily influenced by the Andrew Martin creations that came before it.
An endurance kayak that was designed for the bold beginner. It’s designed to match the characters that paddle it, stable but ambitious. This beautiful vessel Aspires to achieve more, just like those who paddle it.
Starting From $5000 incl. GST - HybriD Carbon/Kevlar Layup
Known to be more comfortable, uber manoeuvrable and stable in a straight line and powerful on its edge, the Aspire is proving to be a favourite.
Our Hybrid Layup was heavily influenced and tested by Canterbury Kayaking and loved by River Ninja Rentals who have a fleet of them, as well us!
An Aspire with the Hybrid Layup is design to “make the rocks cry” with a screech and a scratch, rather a grrrrrr and a crack!
This makes an Aspire Hybrid the perfect beginner boat… as long as you have the drive to match it.
Don’t just take our word for it, the best guides, instructors and rental specialists love them too!

Q: Can I have a full footplate?
A: The Aspire now has pedal adjusters to bring the pedals closer together, closer and higher (for larger feet), and closer and lower (smaller feet). More to come. Get in touch to discuss or mention in the order form that you’re interested in this add on.
Q: Can i have fibreglass option?
A: Flow Kayaks has worked hard over the past few years to eliminate fibreglass from production (still used for repairs where necessary but we mostly repair with carbon also). Ultimately, fibreglass is hard but bruises easily, quickly resulting in the life of the product being shorter. With the weight requirements of a kayak you couldn’t put the density of fibreglass needed in to make it effective. Carbon is stiffer, stronger and lighter and when supported by kevlar it results in a stiffer, longer lasting kayak.
Q: So what does composite mean if you don’t use fibreglass?
A: composite simply means any 2 or more materials merged together to make a product. Carbon and kevlar bonded with resin is a composite product. Flow Kayaks is a composite manufacturing and servicing company.
