Valley Sirona

A nimble and manoeuvrable composite sea kayak

The Sirona from leading UK composite kayak manufacturers' Valley Sea Kayaks, with their aim is to offer a different style of sea kayak for those whom aren't as interested in longer expedition paddling yet still want a top quality boat capable and suitable for ocean play, day paddles and occasional overnighters.

The Sirona composite standard layup is GRP construction for stiffness and enhanced performance, and a reduction in weight (compared to triple layer plastic).The 16ft moderately rockered hull is one of the fastest in its class, with predictable edges and a stable profile that allows all levels of paddlers to get the most out of this kayak. The comparably short boat is far from limited to just days out; it is more than capable of going on to multi day adventures, with plenty of storage and 4x watertight hatches.

While a longer kayak will ultimately have a higher top speed, and a full length traditional style sea kayak will more easily accommodate a heavier payload, the Sirona works within its capabilities. If you are like many paddlers, and your paddling consists of regular social day paddles, maybe the odd overnighter then the Sirona might well be the boat for you.

For those looking for a near identical kayak, but constructed in durable triple-layer polyethylene material- The Valley Sirona RM could be worth looking at.

Valley offers a wide range of custom order options from rudders and compasses to factory fitted bulkhead footrests, bilge pumps or a keel strip. For those looking for the ultimate lightweight day boat, the Sirona is also available in a Carbon/Kevlar construction. As with all Valley composite kayaks, the Sirona is available in a wide range of colours, including different deck, cockpit rim and tape colours.
