  4. For 2011 Valley decided to introduce a new design into the Valley range, one that has more contemporary paddling feel.

    Valley kayaks are traditionally “fish-form”. The Etain is more neutral, slightly Swede form. The Etain has slightly more glide and speed that is more noticeable because you are now paddling in a narrower part of the boat. There is a feeling of having less boat between you and the water. The other features are a hull that has shallow to moderate ‘V’ good initial stability, and moderate rocker to provide secure tracking but still enough to provide a lively ride.

    The Etain also features a removable deck-pod storage-unit in front of the cockpit. Whilst holding the same as a regular 4th hatch/compartment, this gives the advantage, as it can be taken with you, while leaving the kayak at the water. The deck-pod is ideal for small items of safety-kit that you might always want close to hand. Other features of the Etain include a locking bracket situated behind the cockpit and a ergonomic cockpit.

    The Etain is designed to as an expedition style boat with contemporary feel. It appeals to those who are already familiar with the performance of a Valley kayak and appreciate the quality of the Valley name.

    Feel free to stop by Coastal Maine Kayak located in Kennebunkport, Maine 207-967-6065 to try the Etain

    Suz’s love of paddling has taken her to Scotland, Wales, and England, with the playground of the Maine coast as her home waters. She has been paddling recreationally for 10 years. In her early years, her boat lived atop her car because it never would have made the turn to get in the elevator of her condo. She is passionate about kayaking; loves to introduce new paddlers to the sport, and is dedicated to teaching with her cold water workshops.

    Suz is a Registered Maine Guide, a BCU level 1 instructor and 5* aspirant. She is the New England Kokatat Rep and a Team Paddler for P & H. When not traveling the roads of New England, she lives with her husband Werner, three cats, and a barn full of boats!
