Manoeuvring was an easy affair, with the right technique a 180 degree turn could be done in three strokes, but a more standard technique would see the Grand Slam turning easily. With a bit of depth beneath me it was time to find out just how far I could push the hull design before a flip, sat side saddle I was able to sink most of the gunwale before getting that nervous feeling which comes before a sudden flip.Īs it was so calm I thought I'd push things a little further by standing up, very easily done with such a solid platform beneath me, this was also helped by the very flat cockpit. Paddling out from the slipway the Grand Slam showed a good turn of speed for little input from me.

The conditions were not ideal for a full review hardly a breath of wind or ripple on a very flat sea, nothing that would push the abilities of the Grand Slam which was a shame as I think it would have been a lot of fun. The build quality was very good, this was as far as I got before being spotted by the distributor, I made a quick exit preferring to concentrate on the kayak as a whole and make my own assumption about the design rather than hear the sales patter, which can wait until I've had a paddle and I know which questions need answering.Īs this was a demo day the Emotion Grand Slam was soon out on the water and out being demo'd by the various visitors, I had to wait my turn till later in the day when things had calmed a little. Leading up to the AnglersAfloat meets the RNLI extravaganza at Exmouth, one of the AnglersAfloat forum members had emailed me excitedly to mention that Emotion Kayaks would be launching their latest Fishing Kayak, the Emotion Grand Slam to the UK market.īefore there were too many folk wondering around I took a sneaky peak, overall the shape was pleasing to the eye, all the standard fittings we would expect of a fishing kayak were there, pair of flush mounts, a Scotty rod holder towards the front of the cockpit, front hatch, large tankwell. Maximum weight capacity 400 lbs (182 kg) depending on water conditions.
