Aspire
For the bold beginner.
The Aspire is the endurance kayak from Flow that was designed for the bold beginner. Like the name of the kayak, it’s paddlers aspire to achieve more.
Known to be more comfortable, uber manoeuvrable, stable and maybe a little faster than other boats at this level, the Aspire is proving to be a favourite.
Don’t just take our word for it, the best guides, instructors and rental specialists love them too!
With comfortable seats in 2 sizes and a spacious footwell, this kayak is the pinnacle between buoyancy, speed and stability.
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 that other layups have.
This makes an Aspire Hybrid the perfect beginner boat… as long as you have the drive to match it.

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 and 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 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.
