Corran Addison is known for bringing you the most innovative, exciting and original kayak designs. Since his debut at designing as a teenager in South Africa, his designs have always been one step ahead of trends and the work of his fellow designers. He is largely credited with the invention of the planning hull river kayak, and was responsible for inventing many of the staple freestyle moves of today such as the Airblunt and Flipturn.

Italians are known across the world for their style and performance, from cars to clothing. Italians have married style and function as few nations have. While we have no particular interest in mass producing cheap goods, we do bring to world markets products that are special, and personal

Dragorossi means Red Dragon, and what better symbol for this new company than the mythical, time honored beast that has sparked so many myths and legends?

This fusion of ideals, the world’s foremost kayaking innovator, and Italian philosophy is second to none; simply put, our kayaks are the most innovative designs out there. Nothing looks like them. Nothing paddles like them. Nothing is so totally redesigned and rethought from the ground up.

Dragorossi is not geared to the masses. We’re not here to produce popcorn kayaks for everyone who thinks that kayaking is cool, a must-do leisure activity. And we’re not targeting specific kayaking abilities either, because there is a Dragorossi kayak for everyone from beginner to expert.

No, Dragorossi has everything to do with attitude. Dragorossi is the Ferrari of kayaks; performance machines oozing with style and class, cutting edge technology and incomparable imagery. Not everyone can afford one, but like so many things Italian, everyone wants one!
