Back in January 2011, Atlantis Kayaks decided to build and donate a custom kevlar Atlantis Titan VI with two-tone fade and clearcoat hull to be given as the grand prize draw for Coast&Kayak (Wavelength) magazine’s 20th anniversary.

The next
In early 2011, Aaron Price and Russell Belcher from Open Horizons, intend to circumnavigate Britain in a custom built Atlantis Synergy VI tandem kayak. They will be relying on only the natural elements to complete the challenge. Using the tides and currents as well as specially designed power kites to harness the wind’s power, they are estimating this adventure to take them 90 days.
Best of luck goes out to Aaron and Russell on their fundraising and awareness efforts for the benefit of the Motor Neurone Disease Association in the UK.
Please check our ‘What’s New’ blog regularly as well as visit the Open Horizons website for details on this exciting adventure.
On September 4th, 2010 at 8:22PM, Joe O’Blenis successfully set the new world record for circumnavigating Vancouver Island by kayak with an official time of 16 days, 12 hours and 14 minutes. All of us here at Atlantis Kayaks would like to congratulate Joe on his inspiring adventure. Having Joe attend our 1st Annual Corn Roast on Newcastle Island was icing on the cake. A big thanks to everyone who turned out and showed support.
Hello family, friends, and fellow paddlers,
