Aled Williams has previously partly designed the Nigel Dennis Romany and the Rockpool ALAW, ALAW Bach and Menai 18. Each new design has been regarded as the next step forward in boat evolution.

Construction The kayaks feature Tiderace Core Technology – a multi-layer laminate with an additional resin supported core that’s designed to take abuse in rock gardens, big surf and expedition use. Performance laminates that give significantly stronger, stiffer and lighter kayaks, far exceeding the typical industry standard.

Tiderace Sea Kayaks has won several accolades from the sea kayaking community for the innovative designs and the advancements made in boat construction. All boats are fitted with four hatches - front and back main compartments along with rear and front day hatches as standard, something which is usually reserved for expedition boats.

Aled Williams, who has been involved in the sport for over twenty years, supports fellow sea kayakers through company sponsorship. Tiderace sponsored Patrick Winterton in his 2009 completion of the Celtic Tidrace expedition.

Famous quotes containing the word sea:

    Verily, a polluted stream is man. One must actually be a sea to take in a polluted stream without becoming impure. Behold, I teach you the superman: he is the this sea, in him can your great contempt go under.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
