The Royal Flush
The Spade Kayaks The Royal Flush, is a highly versatile river running kayak that’s suitable for paddlers in the 70 - 120kg weight range. Whilst the Royal Flush is a single sized whitewater kayak, smaller paddlers should have a look at the Spade Kayaks, The Black Jack. The Royal Flush is a great river running kayak, whether you’re an experienced paddler or getting out for your first winter season. There is a nice amount of rocker which will make for softer landings. The rails are also nice and soft, for plenty of forgiveness. The large easy access cockpit has a comfortable seat, which incorporates hip pads and a seat pad. There is also a backrest and thigh grips for additional support. The front of the kayak features a bulkhead footrest, which gives great protection against any impact.
