We just released a video with an independent SUPzero review of the Aztron Sirius river SUP. The video is in German, with English subtitles. Since our independent reviews normally come in the format of posts on our website, we will sum it up here as regular content as well.

The Kayalite Stern Light is a 360 degree white light mounted on top of a 45 cm ABS plastic pole. Kayalite claims to offer a “premium grade, virtually loss-proof and indestructible” solution for the lighting on kayaks, canoes and other small watercrafts like dinghies and RIB/RHIB inflatables. The light itself is the Mark III by Tektite. The Mark III is a single LED bulb powered by 3 AA batteries, originally designed for diving, submersible to 1000 feet (300 meters). It should burn over 200+ hours on one package of batteries. The main innovative element of the Kayalite system is the method by which it attaches to the kayak. The design uses a bungee and hook system so it will attach to either an eyelet , deckline or bungee on the deck of your kayak.

The Windpaddle Cruiser is a pop-up sail designed for use on kayaks, canoes, sit-on-tops and other small watercrafts. Playak experimented with the Windpladdle Cruiser on kayaks and canoes in the wind on the channels and lakes in the Green Heart of Holland.
