As far as I know, no one does Zig Zags, though it may be worth asking the Dixons how they got hold of theirs.

As for Caiman, I think there still is an Irish distributor - I cant remember the guys's name or the web address, but I'll take a look and see if I can find it.

For these two manufacturers you are best buying direct assuming you know exactly what you want and can overcome the language barrier. The Dixons went down this route for their Zig Zags and I'm fairly certain Prem paddlers like Lizzie Neave did so for their Caimans. After you have managed to order your boat you've still got the challenge of paying for it and collecting it. Not surprisingly this route isn't for the faint hearted on a limited budget.
