Above & Below Kayak Shop

As a new paddler I arrived at ‘Above and Below’ looking to purchase a Kayak and associated equipment. In my back pocket was my Google research, and advice of others! Matt spent sometime with me, clearly explaining and identifying the multitude of options, based on my choice of paddling (primarily sea) and budget. I was confident enough to purchase kayak, paddle, spray deck etc all at competitive prices (thanks Google). I had my maiden sea voyage yesterday…. & really enjoyed the experience. W...

Recent purchased a pair of Astral Loyak kayaking shoes from Above and Below. Service was amazing from Matt and the team. Easy to contact via mobile phone and the communication via text message on the progress of the order worked really well. I highly recommend these guys for their service alone! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Extremely knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and professional. Yesterday I bought a kayak from Matt at the Waltham Abbey shop and would definately recommend them. Matt took time to listen to what I wanted the kayak for and patiently went through the various styles and makes, explaining what each was used for. He then let me try some out on the lake at the shop thereby making sure I was happy with the one I purchased. I cannot fault the service given.

Kayak Matt was incredibly helpful, with endless patience with our obvious lack of knowledge and experience. He pointed us in the right direction with regards to what we needed. He cut us a great deal and helped us out at every stage of the purchase. He's knowledgeable and helpful.

I’m not going to lie, Matt from above and below is amazing! He’s very knowledgeable and is a sound guy. Recently I discovered the company and for all of my recent kayaking purchases (including a boat and dry suit) have been from them. Their prices are fair, their customer service is in my opinion unrivalled. Couldn’t recommend these guys enough for all your paddling needs - especially with their try before you buy at Lee Valley! Where could you go wrong 10/10! 5*
