Valley's new Gemini SP and Gemini ST are here! If you've been looking for a lightweight sea kayak with a skeg that has good thigh braces and is easy to roll, the wait is over. The Gemini's are light and strong (infusion molded fiberglass), and fun to paddle! Still a few left at the special intro price, $2999.00 for a fiberglass Valley skeg kayak.
Kayak Academy is proud to be the Regional Valley Demo Center and an authorized dealer for Valley kayaks. Valley is the original Brit style sea kayak manufacturer, and they've remade their line with four new models in seven sizes -- all with updated materials and ergonomics - these aren't your father's Valley kayaks. If you haven't tried a Valley kayak since 2010, you owe it to yourself to test the new ones. Try the new Gemini SP and ST and the Etains (available in three sizes to fit most sized paddlers).
