A Legacy Rooted in Sea Kayaking
In 1972, Valley became one of the first companies in the world to produce a dedicated sea kayak. That heritage lives on in every kayak they produce today, from their composite performance models to their tough, expedition-ready polyethylene hulls. Whether you are paddling coastal day trips or planning multi-day journeys along the Irish coastline, their range is designed to handle both with equal confidence.
Coastal Day Paddling and Touring
For paddlers spending most of their time on day trips and coastal tours, Valley's range offers kayaks with the hull speed to keep pace in any group and the manoeuvrability to handle changing conditions at the coast. Their sixteen-foot hulls deliver a stable, predictable platform that rewards developing skills without holding back more experienced paddlers. Playful enough to enjoy on a calm day, capable enough to handle a moderate swell, these are kayaks designed for sea kayaking that gets done regularly rather than occasionally.
Multi-Day and Expedition Paddling
For paddlers planning overnight and extended coastal journeys, Valley's expedition-capable kayaks are designed to carry a load without sacrificing performance. Longer waterlines deliver the forward speed needed to cover distance, while neutral hull forms maintain predictable handling regardless of how the kayak is loaded. Whether you are island hopping along the west coast or taking on a longer Irish Sea crossing, these are kayaks that give touring kayakers the confidence to push further.
