Since middle 2013, the founder has been told many times at the industrial show, that Chinese kayaks need more labor and better design. It is until early 2023 that Black Spring was founded to make a difference.

From the very beginning, we contracted Celliers Kruger as our chief designer, who has paddled over 2 decades, and is widely known as the founder of Fluid Kayaks. He was running Vagabond years ago and now he is the owner of Lekker Kayaks and CEKR Paddles.

To make sure the kayak performance as designed, we slow down the manufacturing process by min. 20% to make sure all are good to go, from rotomolding to cooling down and installing fittings/ parts. There are always issues between designs and production, to make things better, our molders and installation staff have been testing kayak performances continuously to improve general manufacturing quality.

A basic policy is Black Spring does not retail outside China. Another, we strictly protect distributors/ dealers exclusivity around the world. And the first partners win the prime loyalty.

Welcome to be Black Spring ambassadors, we look forward to the test results, feedbacks and materials. We have now recruited ambassadors from South Africa, Turkey and Argentina.
