Gratuitous SKUK Romany photo.. I do find it quite interesting to reflect on how, after years of paddling and many kayaks I've come almost full circle back to one of the earliest 'proper' sea kayaks I paddled. Compared to some it's low tech and distinctly unpretentious but fits me just brilliantly, does everything I need it to do really well, is superb in rough conditions, great in surf and tideraces.. and doesn't coast loads. At some point in the future I'll need another expedition-flavoured kayak I expect but for now this does absolutely everything very well indeed. The Romany has been around decades now and is very much a British Classic. Very much a kayak that was 'right' in the beginning.
