What paddlers and the paddling press are saying.

"The Petrel is the only sit-on-top in this length category that delivers real surfski-influenced speed without the surfski intimidation factor. It's a category-defining boat."

"We've put hundreds of customers in Lekker boats. The combination of stability, capacity, and price point makes them the easiest recommendation in our shop."

"My kids learned to paddle on a Piper. Two years later they're handling small ocean swell because the boat actually rewarded technique instead of dumbing it down."
