Demo Kayaks and Paddles

At Above&Below, we believe in making sure you find the perfect fit for your paddling adventures. That's why we offer an extensive range of demo kayaks and paddles for you to try before making your purchase.

Why Demo?

With the Lee Valley Olympic and Legacy whitewater courses on our doorstep, we give you the perfect opportunity to test paddle a whitewater kayak on whitewater, right here in London!

Trying out a kayak or paddle before you buy it is the best way to ensure it meets your needs and preferences. Our demo fleet allows you to test different models, sizes, and features, so you can make an informed decision.
