Peak PS

At Up and Under in Cardiff, UK, we proudly stock a wide selection of high-performance kayaking and watersports gear from Peak PS (formerly Peak UK). With over 30 years of innovation, Peak Paddlesports is a world-leading brand known for designing durable, athlete-tested equipment - from buoyancy aids (PFDs) and kayak jackets to spraydecks and thermal layers.
Founded in 1990 by slalom racer Pete Astles, Peak PS was born out of frustration with ill-fitting gear. Pete began creating his own designs, which rapidly gained attention among competitive paddlers. What started as a small, independent effort has since evolved into one of the most respected names in global paddlesports, worn by Olympic athletes and trusted by top kayaking professionals worldwide. Manufactured in Derbyshire, England, Peak PS products are known for their quality, innovation, and attention to detail. In 2021, the brand rebranded as Peak Paddlesports (Peak PS) and launched Peak EU to streamline European distribution post-Brexit. Today, Peak continues to lead the way in paddlesport gear, producing cutting-edge products for canoe slalom, whitewater kayaking, SUP, and more.
