What are our standard kayaks?

Our standard kayaks are simple recreational kayaks. They offer a stable and comfortable ride. These kayaks are light weight and easy to use and maneuver for a fun day on the water. Available in either sit in (cockpit) or sit on top styles. Sit in kayaks are preferred many during the early and late season when water and air temperatures are lower. You will typically stay drier in a sit in kayak. When it comes to fishing in a standard kayak, the sit insides will be the better option. Our sit on top kayaks are usually the most popular during the warmer months. Sit on top kayaks create more of an open concept/feel. They will allow your legs to get more sun exposure for that tan. Sit on kayaks are also typically easier to get in and out of. If you don't mind getting wet a little, or if you plan on getting out of your kayak several times to stop and explore or play in the water, then a sit on top might be best for you. This year's lineup of sit inside kayaks will have 375 pound weight capacity and will be a decent option for small scale packing for overnight trips. The sit on top kayaks have a 275 pound weight capacity. View the slideshow below to see our standard kayaks.​ Note: we have new kayaks arriving this year. The sit inside kayaks are going to be bigger and better than the ones we have pictured from previous years.

What is a deluxe kayak?

For those who want the best comfort and more features, you may want to consider our deluxe kayaks. Our deluxe kayaks are top of the line products. These kayaks offer extreme stability and comfort for those longer days on the river. They are perfect for a long day of fishing or overnight camping trips. It's nearly like sitting in a camp chair. You can easily adjust the backrest of your seat. The design of these sit on top kayaks and the raised seat design keep you mostly dry while paddling. Many people choose to rent these for just a simple float down the river because of the comfort they offer, and they are the best of the best kayaks. Most of the deluxe kayaks have a 400 pound carrying capacity. These kayaks are great for a dog companion or a small child to ride with an adult. To see our deluxe kayaks in action, view the slideshow below.

Tubing

We keep a variety of tubes: open bottom, solid bottom & mesh bottom. Solid bottom and mesh bottom tubes are great for small children. All of our tubes have backrests. We already have our tubes rigged up so they can be easily hooked together.
