CROSSOVER
BOATS
Crossover boats are among the best sellers in whitewater
in North America though this market segment is still in its
infancy in Europe and the rest of the world.
What is the situation in your area and according to your experience? Why are they selling
so well in some places and not as well in others?
America. FINALLY, a
whitewater boat that has
greater appeal to a broad
range of paddlers, like 40+
boaters who want to paddle a
boat they can carry lunch or
gear in, not just park and play.

Crossover boats are getting more known in Holland and
this type of kayak will be perfect for the most paddlers
from our ‘‘non-whitewater” country! Unfortunately, the
‘‘non” is also the reason why they have not sold as well as
in other countries: in Holland, most people are latwater
paddlers.
