Team

We get to meet good folk in the course of our work, interesting folk with a passion for doing stuff. Sometimes these folk stick around long enough to remember our names, show us how to do problem 35 or kickflip of the shoulder of a green wave. As these folk play in the mountains, bounce down streams and feel the kiss of sunlight against their cheeks they do so partly in the good name of the Alpkit Company. They send us postcards, stories and video clips, it just wouldn't be fair to lock them in the warehouse with us.

This section of our website is for these people, it pulls together their manouvers, experiences and interests.

Staff

So who is this company called Alpkit and what are they doing tucked away inside your computer? Most of our time is spent doing normal stuff, you know.. the daily grind. The days are long at Alpkit GHQ, we pack orders, chase couriers, balance our books and eat doughnuts. Despite the grind we have as much fun as a barrel of monkeys. Anyway these monkeys are Alpkit, we try our best to give you guys a good experience when you come to visit.

Favourite Alpkit products:

Significant or memorable achievements:
Every new river I paddle is a good new memory

Upcoming projects:
Graduate (hopefully!) in May then spend the summer traveling round Europe.

Best comp results:
7th British Champs 2007
Peak Uk Challenge junior Champion 2000 & 2002

Activities:
I spend all my free time kayaking, whether playboating at Teesside, out on a local river or after the long drive to Scotland to find some water. I can’t wait to graduate this year and am looking forward to going back to Europe with my boat. I’m hoping to visit Slovenia, Italy, France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany then head up to Norway. The Freestyle World Cup series is in Europe this year so I am hoping to compete in the 3 events in Prague, Augsberg and Thun.

Et cetera:
Hopefully get a freestyle event back to Teesside!
