Big pond kayaks is ran by local builder Stephen Marsh, who specialises in building custom sea kayaks with the environment in mind. Stephen is the only person doing this in our Biosphere.
Big pond kayaks strives to protect our natural resources and Stephen ensures the volume of waste he produces is low when he is crafting his vessels. Stephen leads a leave no trace lifestyle when out and about in our Biosphere and is an ambassador for the ocean, respecting and being mindful of the marine ecosystem and wildlife that calls it home.
Big pond kayaks' creations last many, many years if not a lifetime and so there is usually only the need for a one-time purchase making it very sustainable for the consumer.
Big pond kayaks help to develop our economy in a sustainable way as the kayaks have been designed and hand crafted here on the Island so the entire process contributes to the Manx economy.
Stephen makes his environmental impact positive by regularly cleaning the beaches he visits and picking up rubbish as he paddles in the sea. He acts as an ambassador for the ocean through the lifestyle he follows with a great regard for wildlife and the ocean ecosystem when out exploring in Big pond kayaks.
