What the Team says

Spade Team reviews.

I am totally in love with my Blackjack. With this beauty I found a creek boat that fits a women too. The kayak is easy to turn, super fast, sticks to the line and playful. But the best thing is when you boof it – feels like flying! [···]

Nadine Bogenreiter

The Black Jack
Enjoying Royal Flush because it provide a lot of comfort for bigger paddlers and it is a fast boat with great carving skills. But my first love is definitely Ace of Spade Pro. Ace is very agile and provide me biggest confidence [···]

Ivan Safradin

The Royal Flush
The title Queen of Hearts is the perfect name for this kayak. Being 5ft, I’ve spent so many years having to compromise my paddling style in order to fit the general market of boats that were too big a volume for me. [···]

Bethan Palmer

The Queen of Hearts
My personal goal in whitewater kayaking is remote class V big volume expeditions. These are the ultimate adventures where the prefect combination of skills, knowledge, technique, physical shape, experience and perfect equipment is needed. [···]

Our Rivers are changing. Are you?

Spade Kayaks is a member of 1% for the Planet. It all started when two businessmen met and bonded over their shared love for the outdoors. In 2002, Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, founder of Blue Ribbon Flies, created 1% for the Planet and started a global movement.

“The intent of 1% for the Planet is to help fund these diverse environmental organizations so that collectively they can be a more powerful source in solving the world’s problems.”

1% of Spade Kayaks yearly sales are donated to the Free Rivers Fund.

a paddler owned company

Spade Kayaks was founded »by paddlers, for paddlers«.

Good to know.

We are a young company. But we ain’t no greenhorns. Spade Kayaks has a backup of a few generations of paddlers, with an overall paddling experience of more than 125 years.

We are paddlers.

We have spent most of our life time traveling around the globe, searching for the perfect river. Paddling is a state of mind and a way of living and therefore plain essential for all of us.

The perfect boat.

But how perfect can the perfect river be without the perfect boat? We always wanted to build our own kayak, according to our ideas and conceptions.

 

Mission accomplished?

Not yet! We for sure keep on working hard to get as close as possible, as soon as possible to our objective target. Word.

Meet the people behind the company.
