Meet the friendly Viking Kayak team

Stephen Tapp - New Zealand's most well known and experienced kayak angler. He has been writing for NZ's top fishing magazine (New Zealand Fishing News) since 2004 and has been fishing from, and improving kayaks for over 20 years. With his wealth of experience and friendly manner, you can ask him pretty much anything on the subject and you will get the information and advice you're after.

Grant - A keen outdoors man, he started producing sit-on-top Kayaks in 1999. He quickly identified this type of craft as ideal for fishing and diving from and also an affordable way for families to enjoy the outdoors. Grant and Stephen's passion for kayaking, and especially kayak fishing has driven the constant development of our products. So when you buy a Viking Kayak you know it's going to do everything you hoped, and even better than you expected! We back this up with a 30 year warranty* Viking Kayaks are the only ones that do.

Karen - She's the the one that keeps everything in the office running smoothly and also keeps our Facebook page up to date, so if you have something to share drop her a line. Karen loves to go kayak fishing when the boys invite her along (and often out fishes them too!)

Lennie - He's the guy that maintains the excellent quality and heads the production department. A keen kayak fisho and also front man for the band, 'Da Kause'.

Jason - (Nick name - Smiley!) He's Lennie's top man in production and assembly and continually smiling! A great guy to work with. You couldn't get a more enthusiastic (or lucky!) kayak fisho than Jason - he's out fished some of the more experienced guys at Viking more than once!

The rest of the gang include Danny, Robbie, Mark, Jack, Jono, Brad, Troy and Abbey - a great team doing excellent work on what may be your next kayak!
