YellowV expands product range and forms new partnership
Watersports and inflatable product specialist YellowV has expanded its range of inflatable equipment.
Vetus brand YellowV says it is launching several new product series and additional models in response to high demand and the latest market trends. For the first time, the company now offers a line of kayaks and funtubes, and is extending its SUP and boat series with more models.
The company launched its unique iSUPs (inflatable paddleboards) in 2020, each featuring a board game on the underside, as well as inflatable platforms and boats.
The company has also confirmed a partnership with navigation app Savvy Navvy, enabling customers who purchase the new YellowV equipment to benefit from a free one-year subscription.
Nick Tuinenburg, product sales manager at YellowV, says: “Our designers have been working hard to develop these fresh, new products, so we are excited to launch the latest YellowV equipment and offer our customers the best experience on the water. After such a positive reaction from the market to our original inflatable boards and boats, we have carefully examined trends and reviewed the interest in our products over the last two years. We found that people would like to cover greater distances, travel in challenging waters and move faster.
“To support those requests, we have expanded on the SUP series with a sporty tourer, which is long and narrow to pick up more speed, and a hefty overnight tourer designed for multiple-day trips, with big luggage nets to accommodate tent, food and clothing. This board is wider to increase stability and longer at 14 feet to give it some speed.”
The company also plans to launch the YellowV inflatable surf series and electric aid for the SUPs and kayaks in 2023.
The new equipment is characterised by the signature YellowV appearance, ease of use, sturdy design and lightweight, says the company.
The additional YellowV products include two additional YVSUPs (stand up paddleboards), three new VB series boats, three new YVKAYAK inflatable kayaks and four new YVFUN towable funtubes.
“For people looking for the YellowV look on our boats, we are introducing the black VB series,” adds Tuinenburg. “To complete the stealthy look, these boats have a black transom and black benches as well, with optional full black airdeck or a clear aluminium deck.
“The new kayak series fills the gap between the SUP boards and the inflatable boats. Designed for those who like to negotiate rougher waters and where more agility is required, we use drop-stitch sidewalls and deck to make the kayak as stiff as possible to increase the performance.
“The pandemic caused a huge increase in the funtube market — a segment which suits YellowV very well, which is why we are introducing four new models.”
The new kayaks, boats and funtubes are available now, with the two new SUPs available from early July. Full details can be found on the YellowV website.
