Excellent service and quick delivery! Ordered bailer seals and was very happy with the experience. Highly recommend!
I’m just writing to say I have given a review of the paddle I purchased from your company. It was, without doubt, 5 stars after having used it in a 12km race today. The first time I have used it in a race.
I couldn’t leave a review for the bag etc as that page no longer exists. However, the service I received, and the quality of the bag, and lettering on the paddle, were all deserving of 5 stars.
I’ve been using another brand but have come back to Aqwa-D race number holders, they are far better quality than most others & a good snug fit with most race numbers.
These blades are have the best finish of any paddle on the market. Light and very compliant through the stroke.
Great service, super comfy.. fit perfect.
10 out of 10.
Love my Kajner Siklo paddles. I previously bought one off John back when he was based in Perth (medium sized blades) and have been using it for years. However, I felt like I wanted to up my power so ordered the X-Large sized blades. John gave me a call following up on my order and gave me some great advice. He said the X-Large blades might be too much as they’re really only for really big blokes who are into high output sprints. I’m 6’1″/115kg, but John convinced me the next size down; the X-Large S. I’ve been using it for a a few weeks now and it’s been fantastic. I estimate I’ve knocked 10-15% off my times, and the paddle is so good to use. I’m glad I didn’t go for the X-Large, ’cause I think that might of been a too much – the X-Large S is perfect for me.
Thanks to John for the helpful advice.
I bought the ZSS Genesis Evo for paddling in the ocean bump with smaller blades & shorter length than my other paddles.
I couldn’t be happier with the paddle, it’s light & has a noticeable grab on the catch & has a very efficient exit.
Great value paddles – highly recommend!!!
Item exactly as described with fast delivery.
Would definitely purchase from this seller again.
Easy to order, fast delivery good quality
I ordered a size that didn’t fit & John was so helpful in assisting me with the return & delivery of the same top but with the right fit.
Great to find mockemproducts
Faraday signal blocking pouch is easy to use. Big enough to fit the car key fob and a credit card yet small & soft enough to fit inside the key vault we attach to the car.
Quick delivery and great communication
Good
great one on one service , cheers John
John was very helpful and promt with my questions via email.
Thanks for sending it so quickly. No more leaky boat 🙂
Love it. The angle /lay back is new to me but just right for good entry and catch and on exit
Hello,
I received the bailer with 3 seals and 6 screws. The product is very well made but I haven’t assembled it yet. John is very serious, very good contact. Thank you.
AG – France
Excellent product at a great price. They are very water repellent and keep off your hands, highly recommended.
Unfortunately the performance of the new 3D bailer is no better than the old one, although it locks in position a bit better than the original bailer, water still forces into the ski at a rate where by I have to open the bailer about 4 times in 5 KM to get the well dry in flat water paddling.
Very well made, easy to store and carry my paddle. Quality at a great price.
It was perfect
Nice to buy in your shop
Thank you ZSS for such great service. My order arrived within a few days and the advice over the phone was so greatly appreciate🤙
The paddle is so light, looks good and the customer service was excellent.
Great quality product that fits well.
I spoke with ZSS paddling who gave great advice on the sizing and was on point.
Thank you
Exceptional. I’m about 3 months into my K1 and race bread paddling, and still swim sometimes. This lifejacket doesn’t get in the way (rub on anything or limit my arms) and when I do swim, keeps my head comfortably above water. I’m not a strong swimmer but thankfully, I don’t have to be. I recommend to anyone it fits
The gaskets arrived a few days after placing order.
ZSS are very good to deal with
Great – excellent design to fit when it matters (ie when you’re in the water), excellent safety features and partical features and great colour. Love the wistle extra. The name tag on the inside is a curious addition…?
Very quick delivery. Rail tape easy to put on surf ski and looks good.
Item is perfect and was delivered promptly. Short size is the same as a different pair of ZSS shorts I’d ordered which is good.
Excellent. John always has time to support his customers.
Great fits and works
Great paddle, far exceeded my expectations on quality. This paddle is so well built, feels strong and great in your hands. Feels great to paddle with as well. No need to spend the $800 plus on other paddles
Great service and an excellent product which to be honest is great in this cold weather just as a thermal undershirt.
Very comfortable and warm for cooler conditions
Great item and fast shipping. Perfect for my surf ski. Recommended.
Awesome this is a great pump Thanks john for the advice on fitting as well was very helpful.
Fast service, good prices
The paddle is very good, and the communication ans shipping experience was excellent.
Adheres well . Small but effective.
Love them. Sugar free and so easy to use. We carry them in every bag. Busy sporting family. We use them every day.
The watch holder has been a great addition for my kayak. It’s the perfect height and I can see all my paddling Data in real time. The suction cups are super strong and reliable for flat water paddling.
Thanks ZZS for a great product.
Highly recommended
High back, no plumbers crack when leaning over your work lol, ideal amount of rear padding with breathable flexible front, return purchase as liked my first pair so much, highly recommend, also packed and delivered lightening quick.
Great quality dyneema at a more than reasonable price. Super fast delivery, very happy customer, thank you🤙
Good. The surf is more stable and response to my queries was prompt and friendly
Really like the pants they are very comfortable
Thank ZSS for quick delivery.
Quality of product was Fantastic, light and great fit. Would highly recommend. Currently have more items on delivery due to the great service.
Thanks heaps ZSS 👍👍
Just bought from John last week. Easy to set up and works very well on my Epic ski. Would recommend to anyone looking for a watch strap holder that will float if it ever came off your kayak or ski.
Great hat, Very comfortable. Easy to put on and adjust the strap. The Mocke hat gives great all round protection from the sun, especially over the ears. The chin strap is very useful, especially with the strong winds experienced in Perth over the summer months. Highly recommended
Great service, great product. Always very helpful, John knows his products well and always has genuine advise. Thank you
By far the best ski rail tape
High quality and excellent customer service as always
The rudder cable is exactly as described. ZSS is always my go to store for paddling equipment, John knows his stuff, is super efficient and helpful.
Simply a game changer in efficiency and ease of stroke. ZSS also took the time to call me personally and discuss my purchase and ensuring I was getting the best possible paddle for my ability and purpose. Best paddle I have used in over 40years of paddling in surf life saving and K1 racing. The smaller paddle recommended by ZSS is perfect for the marathon paddling I now do after asking for what would have been a blade to big for this type of racing.
After several years of hard use, an awesome product. Easy to fill, attach and use. Faultless. Love it.
Zenith (Jon) have done iit again with a great set of paddle shorts. We want to sit in our boats AND be comfortable AND in winter be warm. Got the trifecta with these shortd
Fantastic pants. Warm, windproof and minimal water entry.
These flags are great. Well priced.
The paddle is noticeably lighter than other paddles which helped reduce fatigue in long distance races. Catch is comparable to heavier counterparts.
Highly recommended top quality
The moving seat option is well worth it
good quality item
works a treat
Waist band very comfortable
The race rudder, throws off the weed, feels more aggressive on the ocean in waves. Awesome delivery. Thanks John
Great angle, love the 3m tape . Easy to attach.
Cheers John, The number holders turned up and they were perfect.
From ordering they were dispatched quickly and arrived fast.
I ordered some Rudders and wave Deflector. The courier had some difficulty getting it to me but all arrived safe and sound. The NK Rudder and wave Deflectors are high quality well designed products.
Great light paddle as described and great price
Great product, as described
Fits the flow PFD nicely
Fastest delivery on the world wild web…
Great product and fast delivery. Thank you!
Much lighter, better fitting than my other PFD, front pocket is big enough for me phone.
Friendly staff. Right product. Prompt service.
The item worked perfectly. It’s great to have a NK distributor around from when you need specific parts. Also quick deliver.
Excellent value for money & does the job perfectly! Thanks ZSS
Perfect – Excellent value for money designed with paddlers in mind. Great quality and would highly recommend when paddling kayaks, skis. racing mals and surfing.
Yes my son loves it ,thinks it’s great Really likes the light breathable fabric it’s made of. It’s exactly what we thought it would be .
Very good service and delivered on time
Footpads were exactly what I ordered. Ordered the product on the 16th and received it over here on the Gold Coast on the 21st. Great service from John and couldn’t be happier. Great business to deal with.
All the products that i have purchased from ZSS have been first class,
Product arrived in 2 days! Thanks John,
Extremely happy with my purchase, pouch looks to be well made and sturdy enough to handle the hot Aussie sun and salty downwind conditions.
Can’t wait to get out and try it out tomorrow.
Also good to know that the phone is easy to use when still inside the pouch.
Cameron WA.
The race model looks to be an improvement on the standard version. It arrived well packed and given the parcel delivery delays due to Covid it was a quick delivery to the Eastern states from WA
Excellent service, prompt supply and delivery
Needed a light but durable paddle for the Avon Descent that wasn’t expensive and this fit the brief perfectly.
I put my order through online , and as Jacob , had a few question marks , He rang me to confirm my requests , and to share his knowledge. I am a beginner in paddling , so his phone call was hugely appreciated , as I had made a mistake in my order. The paddle is fabulous , just as the costumer service !
Good value for this replacement gasket/seal which can’t be sourced directly from deBrito. Great costumer service for my Sydney online order from John and a useful instructional installation YouTube video.
I had never worn a PFD before and thought they would be really bulky and awkward, but I was really surprised that once adjusted correctly you really don’t notice it at all. Great fit !
Kudos on developing a great pair of paddling shorts, they are better in every way than my old ones that cost twice the price. Way less friction for good rotation, warmer and dryer, longer leg, super comfortable and just really well made. These are an absolute bargain.
