Gaybo Ltd. To Distribute Wave Sport in the U.K.

Easley, S.C.– Effective September 1, 2009, Gaybo Ltd., current licensee and distributor of Perception kayaks in the U.K., Ireland and Europe, is distributing Wave Sport kayaks in the U.K. Both Perception and Wave Sport are Confluence Watersports brands.

“Gaybo has done a fantastic job for us and has demonstrated an ability to expand our business,” said Sue Rechner, CEO of Confluence. “The whitewater market in Europe continues to be strong and we are confident that Gaybo will be successful, building on the momentum Wave Sport has established. We look forward to working with them in an increased capacity.”

Gaybo will take the same enthusiasm and expertise it has shown with the Perception brand and apply it to distributing Wave Sport in the U.K.

“We are delighted to distribute Wave Sport kayaks. Our roots lie in whitewater, and the outstanding performers in the Wave Sport line-up perfectly complement our comprehensive range of Perception touring and recreation kayaks,” said André Goldsmith, sales manager of Gaybo, Ltd. “Our wide-ranging dealer network will make all Wave Sport models available to paddlers across the U.K. Project, Diesel, Fuse, Habitat and D-Series: you can’t help but be impressed by this collection of exceptional boats. For us, the Wave Sport journey starts here and we are looking forward to the ride.”
