We were looking for a small kayak for our grandsons, Alex and Hayden, to use during our holiday in the Alps. While searching on the internet, we found the Weeniwave on Square Rock’s website. Frustratingly, we couldn’t find any reviews on it and the description on the website was very brief.

4 weeks, 6 races, 6 finals and 3 podiums. Over the last 4 weeks I have travelled across Europe with 3 friends training and competing in various locations.

JK InformationThe Nirvana creek boat makes you faster, more confident, and will get you through rapids with more control than ever before. A dry bow keeps you on top of holes and waves and the nimble feeling while maneuvering assures that you stay on your line in the hard rapids.

If you want a river running/creek boat that takes the rapids down a grade, the Nirvana will...
