KD Paddle Sport Show 2026

We’re excited to share that Kayak Distribution will be back at The Paddle Sports Show 2026 in Strasbourg, France (September 30 – October 2), with an expanded lineup and the first public showcase of RAILBLAZA under the Kayak Distribution family following our recent acquisition. You’ll be able to see Vibe Kayaks, Riot Kayaks, and BorealDesign on the floor alongside the full RAILBLAZA mounting and accessory range — and talk through custom retailer packages and accessory add-on opportunities for the season ahead.

We’d love to set up time to walk you through what’s new and discuss dealership opportunities for 2027. Find us at Stand B17, or reply to this email to schedule a meeting in advance.

Full press release attached, and also available here:
