Paddlesports Ireland are the agent for Zástěra Composites in Ireland. The construction of Zastera kayaks focusses on hand built quality and their racing k1’s are light enough for Marathon, Strong enough for Descent Racing and stiff enough for Sprint. This has been proven in Ireland with Tom Brennan winning the Senior Men’s K1 Title in the Liffey Descent 2015 using the Zastera Vector K1 in Ultra Strong Construction. Of Particular interest to Irish Paddlers along with the Vector K1 would be the Master K1 which is more stable but still fast. See below our current stock. Contact us for a demo.
