Nautiraid
Jean Chauveau establish its brand in 1936, the first year kayak enters the Olympic program in Berlin. As years go by, Nautiraid becomes an established reference and a very particlar boat : it’s very tough with the new hypalon and PVC material, it becomes a luggage and follow the paddlers everywhere in the world, in a plane or in the trunk of a car.
A Nautiraid craft is a bespoke order to a boatyard. You can order the deck color, the options you want so that your kayak or canoe meets your particular paddling needs.
The Nautiraid kayaks with wood frames are built, like in the beginning with ash. It is the only wood supple enough to cope with kayaking needs.
The cockpit coaming is also in glued ash, a technique inspired by the tennis racket of the 30s ! All the parts are immerged in varnish so that they can endure the salty atmosphere and the UV.
Each skin is stiched and glued by hand on each frame to ensure a perfect fit of the skin on the frame.
Now Nautiraid offers wide range of folding boats, so that you will find a kayak or canoe for your each of your paddling needs.
