Certainly many kayaks, paddles and other stuff you buy depend on what’s best for you. Below Is a list of stuff I feel good about recommending to you.

Kayaks

• ROCKPOOL KAYAKS
  – What can I say about Rockpool!? Unquestionably some of the hottest, highest quality kayaks made in the world.

• SeakayakingUK
  I started out paddling an NDK Explorer. We also own a smaller Romany as well. You certainly can’t go wrong with NDK kayaks.

• Valley Canoe Products
  Another legend among kayaks
  Great River Outfitters

• Piranha
  We have an I:3. Finally a WW boat that rolls like my sea boat!

• EPI – Englehart Products, Inc.
  Kid sized roto-molded sea kayaks. Great kids craft

Gear

• Novorca Paddles
  Hand crafted carbon fiber traditional paddles. Strong, high quality, colorful!

• Kokatat
  The MsFit PFD fits women and men without the “V” chest. Also has the best design (in my opinion) for holding lots of gear.

• Beale Paddles
  The best hand-crafted traditional wood paddles out there.

• Reed Chillcheaters
  No wind is a good thing.

• Kayak Trolley by Freya Hoffmeister
  – great features, tough, easy to stow

• Werner Paddles
  I paddle the Ikelos.

• Northwater
  Tow Rope without issues.

• Restop Wilderness Waste Containment Pouch
  – Best human waste solution we’ve seen for wilderness use.
