New watersports company launches in Cotswolds

McConks Stand Up Paddle boards has just launched a new online shop specializing in inflatable stand up paddle boards at www.mcconks.com. Stand up paddle-boarding is the fastest growing water sport in the world, and is a popular sport in the Cotswolds. There are a number of lakes and river sections in the Cotswold Water Park where you can hire paddle-boards or use your own board, but very few places to buy new kit.

McConks’ mission was to produce paddle-boards with a similar quality to the market leading companies, but at a more affordable price. And the way in which they have done this is by selling direct to customers and cutting out the middle man.

McConks boards are family friendly boards, robust enough to take the bangs and knocks that come with being a parent, and stable and buoyant enough to float a parent and child or pet. However, their clever design means that they’re also fun for adults to use by themselves once the kids are asleep. They’re also ideal for beginners, being super stable, yet easy to man-oeuvre.
A paddle board package including the board, a top of the range pump, fiberglass adjustable paddle, leash and a carry bag with wheels is available for RRP £580, a large saving compared to the market leaders.

If you want to try a board locally, McConks have a demo partner agreement with Cotswold Water Park Hire (www.CWPhire.com) at Lake 81 near the Gateway Centre. McConks kit is available to try there, and you can compare the performance against the market leading companies. If you then purchase a board package from McConks.com, McConks will deduct the price of the rental from the purchase price.

Jenny McConkey, co-owner, said “It’s been a really exciting few weeks for us with our online shop finally opening. We really hope that we’ll be able to help more people on the water in the Cotswolds, and beyond, by providing big brand quality inflatable paddle boards at a fraction of the cost. If we get just one more person on the water, then that’s a success!”

You can find more information about McConks at HTTP://www.mcconks.com or on Facebook and Twitter @mcconksuk.

McConks was setup after being frustrated at the quality and price of inflatable paddleboards on the market. At one end are very cheap unreliable imported copies being sold through Amazon and Ebay with poor quality control, no accountability and low grade materials.

At the other end are branded products the price of a small car. They operate in the middle of this range, offering the innovation, quality and service of the big brands at an affordable price.

They use high tech design processes to develop a truly crossover board, using 3D computer aided design to come up with the best longitudinal shape and rocker for performance in all conditions
