news article – 50 years of paddling on the Exe Oct 2002 – whilst doing the below article, it was confirmed that a statement in this article needs correcting – ‘Tony and Bill Snell founded Kirton Kayaks. Albert Labett goes back a long way with them and confirms their activity building slalom and, at least, their first-generation racing kayaks prior to David Green’s involvement. Richard Ward confirms my understanding that David bought into the business subsequently’ – Phil Schnepp.
