Simon River Sports and Ruahine Kayaks Form Strategic Alliance
January 17, 2005 Montreal, Quebec: Karen Lukanovich, President of Simon
River Sports and Kevin Osborne, on behalf of Ruahine Kayaks are pleased
to announce that they have formed a strategic alliance which includes
marketing and distribution agreements for North America.
Ruahine Kayaks, founded by Mike Rowley and based in New Zealand, has
been a leader in the design and manufacture of multi-sport racing kayaks
for over 30 years and is known for high quality Kevlar boats worldwide.
Simon River Sports, a leader in performance boat and paddle designs in
North America, manufactures and markets composite fitness and flatwater
racing kayaks, canoes and paddles.
The terms of the agreement are exclusive and allow SRS to market and
distribute the Ruahine line of multi-sport kayaks across North America
to the emerging fitness, multi-sport, and adventure racing markets.
"This is a very exciting development for performance oriented paddlers
who want a very fast, stable, light boat for multi water conditions. The
Ruahine Kayaks are designed to handle downriver, oceans and lake paddling
in one hull." Explains Karen Lukanovich, "SRS will now be able
to offer a complimentary line of boats at very competitive prices to racers
and fitness paddlers."
Commenting on the alliance, Kevin Osborne reflects, " SRS is a quality
partner who is very involved and well known with the various segments
of the fitness and racing community, including multi-sport and adventure
racing, and will help us bring our designs to the North American market."
Both Osborne and Lukanovich believe that the experience of both companies
combined will result in benefits for the fitness and performance markets
here in North America by offering a range of performance boats for any
type of water condition, flatwater to ocean racing.
