The team at Pittarak welcomes your interest in discovering more about the heritage and individuality of our range of authentic Australian designed and built expedition sea kayaks. Whether you are just starting out in the world of sea kayaking, or you are already a seasoned expeditioner, the Pittarak sea kayak has the history and reputation for being able to offer all that the paddler may demand of their craft.

Pittarak's heritage started over thirty years ago, when Australian adventurer and film maker Larry Gray, started travelling to the distant oceans of the world, and required a durable, functional, performance based sea kayak that would provide a safe and reliable journey in any ocean conditions. Based upon the proven, traditional design of kayaks from the remote arctic regions, the first Pittarak was developed and has since continually evolved to enhance the design and handling characteristics for today's discerning kayaker.

Each hand crafted kayak is testament to the innovation and functionality that can only be derived from the unparalleled involvement in worldwide expeditions, ranging from the intensely cold polar regions to the balmy tropics. It is this heritage that provides every Pittarak owner the opportunity to be able to pursue the freedom that the oceans of the world offer.

Thank you for your interest in choosing Pittarak as a partner in your sea kayaking adventures.

When we become one with the sea, a primal part of ourselves is released. We recover that instinct all human beings shared before we distanced ourselves from the living world around us. Ironically we feel more empowered by leaving behind all of the props of the modern world.

Perhaps, that is why so many seek the simplicity of the kayak. It is the ultimate craft for merging with the ocean, for understanding its moods and surrendering to its dynamism. When we enter the ocean in a sea kayak, we combine with a greater force. We start to understand who we truly are and what we are capable of.
