April 15, 2009 (by Eco-Sports Unlimited).  The grind of the work week, coupled with our increasing number of personal responsibilities can leave a person wrung-out by week’s end. Boating is one way to re-hydrate the spirit but, as many boat owner can tell you, this hobby comes with a healthy dose of added headache and responsibility.

Boating does not have to be complicated or expensive. It is possible to go boating with a sense of proportion that fits small families, singles, or retirees on a budget.

One company is trying to bring boating back to the basics. Duroboat, a family-owned operation, based in Seattle, Washington, offers an alternative to the high financed gas guzzling boats that often occupy an unmerited amount of space in the garage. Instead, these little skiffs (10′ to 16′ feet in length) allow boaters to explore the waters in an economical way, and with minimal environmental impact. Tow-able with an economy car and able to provide a full day of fun on about 4 gallons of gas, Duroboat takes boating back to the future: small traditional boats utilizing modern clean burning outboards.

While other boats have trended towards bigger, bad-er, bolder, Duroboat has maintained a classic style and unique construction (no weld, no rivets) since its conception in 1983. Small boat simplicity is particularly attractive to boaters concerned with the quality of their boating experience, rather than then the ego-boost, their ride can provide.

If you enjoy boating for all the natural beauty our waters have to offer, and you’re not about to spend time or energy on a high-maintenance boat that impedes or complicates your boating pleasure, Duroboat is the answer.

Proven and tested for toughness and durability by the US Army and complied with US Coast Guard flotation safety requirements.

Whether exploring, fishing, or taking the kids tubing with a companion, the ease and benefit of boating should always be worth the time and resources you devote to the experience. Given the beautiful surroundings we enjoy here in Malaysia, in the right boat this shouldn’t be difficult, even on a budget.

The following models are on Special Offer.

Duroboat 10D                                                                RM8,999

The Duroboat 10 is the smallest and lightest of the Duroboat line. Great for car topping or the back of your truck. It is available in Duroboat blue. If you want the maximum quality in a small boat this is for you. Ideal for rivers, lakes and coastal areas. The 10T is often used as tenders for larger boats.

Duroboat 12S                                                                RM10,999

The regular 12 foot Duroboat is a real “big-water” 12 footer. Because of the seaworthy wide-beam construction, the 12 is suitable for use as a saltwater beach-boat, that will keep your family safe when the waves have gotten too big too soon. At 183 lbs, the 12 is capable of cartop carry, and is the perfect size to fit in the bed of a full-size pickup truck. The 12 foot is built with the same hard-chine V-hull design as the larger Duroboats, giving the 12 enjoyable performance at planing speeds when the water gets a little rough, and the flat bottom riveted boats have wisely headed for shore.

Limited units available.  Offer valids while stocks last.

Very often I have been asked if I have a boat that is light enough to cartop, able to go upriver or across a big lake with a small outboard or trolling motor, easy to portage from one point to another,  and yet efficient enough to paddle when going downriver or moving from one fishing spot to another without the need to fire up the outboard. My answer would have been “No” until now. The boat is the Heron squareback canoe from Esquif, Canada.

The Esquif Heron

The Heron is a multi-purpose canoe perfectly adapted to fishing and hunting activities. Light, stable and quiet, it offers great load capacity. Its design allows it to be used with or without a motor. It is ideal for you and a partner to motor to that favorite fishing spot and then fish comfortably while paddling a ‘real’ canoe quietly from location to location. The Esquif Heron is the most versatile canoe in its category.

With a foam core hull material, the Heron insulates you from cold waters and provides for quiet passage to your most secret places on lakes and rivers.

Kayak or Canoe?   This question is often asked and the answer would depend on where your answer came from. If you think a kayak is better suited for you, then go for a kayak.

Personally, I like canoe for its aesthetic look and the way one paddles it using the single-bladed canoe paddle. The movement, both man and boat simply look so gentle and graceful, particularly the Canadian-style paddling. 

Functional or otherwise, if you think a canoe is the right one for you, here’s one canoe you’ll want to investigate before making your final purchase, the Mohawk.

While many other canoe companies have gone on and build kayaks and hybrids, Mohawk Canoes have stayed on and continue to build canoes, incorporating newer and better material and technology. With over 40 years of experience, Mohawk Canoes’ passion and continued commitment to building top quality canoes and delivering value is evident in every canoe they build.

Here are a few of their popular models. 

Tandem Canoes

Fast and sleek with advanced styling .It has one of the sharpest and most efficient entry lines of any Royalex canoe. The Nova 16,with accent lines molded under the deck, is one of our most attractive canoes. A tucked in center section makes solo paddling easier. The flared sides below the tucked in line and the shallow arched bottom give the Nova good initial and final stability.

For lightweight and most canoeing conditions, choose R-84 Royalite. For added durability when the canoe is used in Rocky streams or where whitewater will be encountered, choose the heavier Royalex material. This is one of our most popular tandem canoes. for both wilderness tripping ,touring and general recreation use. 

 INTREPID 16

Intrepid 16-Length: 16′2″, Beam at gunwale: 36″, Beam at 4″ waterline: 34.5″,

The Mohawk Intrepid’s are dry, high volume canoes, with slightly arched and moderately-rockered bottoms, they are the most versatile of our canoes. Very stable and dry, they are at home running whitewater rivers or carrying fisherman to their favorite fishing spot.

I quickly introduced myself and wasted no time to unload the kayaks. Yes, I had many hands to help me unload. We quickly warmed up to each other and like the saying, the rest is history.  

...a light breakfast alfresco by the lake.

Sam singlehandedly unload the Mini-X.

Some briefing on safety and paddling techniques before testing begun.

The Man Vs Machine Race...the motorised Mini-X eventually outran the two manpower Pro 2 Tandem.

For the final test, Sam did the “stand up and cast” stunt. Sorry! no pix taken…he was too far out in the lake for his pix to be taken.

So, if you are interested to test out the Malibu kayaks, feel free to contact me at +6(019) 3122 181 or send me an email at geraldkhoo@eco-sports.com.my.

Here’s one whitewater kayak you have been dreaming about …one that excels in whitewater yet carries speed across flat calm lakes and slow moving rivers.

Whether you are thirsty for some adrenalin or yearning for the peaceful calm and beauty Nature has to offer, the Liquidlogic Remix XP is the answer. 

It is often said that there is gap in kayak design, that no “one” kayak excels in whitewater yet carries speed across flat calm lakes and slow moving rivers… that is until now. The Remix XP was designed to bridge the gap between the two once and for all. The Remix XP is an extension of our popular river runner series and although its roots are firmly planted in whitewater the XP’s extended waterline allows it to cruise the flats with ease. The XP has and integral skeg which when deployed offers superb tracking but with the skeg tucked away the XP offers the agility needed to excel on whitewater.

Liquidlogic Remix XP9

Liquidlogic Remix XP9

How did we do it?

This first challenge was to make it whitewater friendly for everyone taking special notice to beginners looking at venturing out for the first time and for intermediate and expert paddlers desiring to camp out of their kayak. By adding additional width to the hull we achieved the stability we wanted even when loaded to the gills with camping gear. The next challenge was speed and tracking for the folks that would use it primarily on lakes and calm rivers and as we all know whitewater boats just don’t want to go straight on flatwater and will tend to veer right or left. Speed was achieved by extending the length and waterline of the XP and by dropping the rocker profile slightly really cuts through the flats. Now we had to fix that nagging veer, by adding a spring loaded skeg (don’t worry the spring is made from stainless steel) to the stern that annoying veer was immediately gone for good and paddling across vast sections of flatwater became a no brainer.

Camping?

There is nothing more satisfying than doing a self-support camping trip out of a kayak. It’s like backpacking except that the boat is doing the back breaking hauling part. Most whitewater kayaks are hard to camp out of. Stuffing gear and dry bags behind the seat is a pain then tugging and pulling everything out at night can be another nightmare but the XP eliminates the pushing and tugging of gear by offering a dry storage compartment that is easily accessed through its large “backcess” hatch. Easy on and off the backcess hatch is stiff, lightweight and dry. The storage compartment can easily hold a weeks worth of camping gear.

In summary, if your looking for an all around go anywhere kayak that is comfortable, safe and easy to paddle look no further than the Remix XP. We spared no expense in designing this true “Crossover” kayak so that you can have the time of your life.
