Some beautiful Stellar Kayaks Nomads in this morning and then a fiberglass truck cap Yakima Track install.

This was to get a full length rack to do a anything you want including helping get an 18' kayak on top of that behemoth of a Ford F-250. We added a Yakima Skyline roof rack to the tracks then a custom Goodboy Paddlesports V Rack to bridge the gap from his main kayak carrier up front from the back of the truck.

14' kayak that fits in a closet? Lightweight high performance touring kayak you can fit in your Prius? The beauty and simplicity of the Stellar Kayaks Modular kayaks is pretty impressive. At this point a good amount of their models overall are available in a modular setup by special order and a few of the boats as a standard. I present to you the S14 G2 Mod.

The ultimate all round kayak is now available in 3 sections solving everyone's storage and transport challenges. Available with padded bags it is easy to carry even on public transport. At only 2 kgs heavier than the original boat with almost identical paddling characteristics the S14 Mod is the king of convenience. Screws together in under 5 minutes, packs away in a similar time. It comes with all the standard features of the S14 G2 plus is sectional. Don't settle for inferior inflatable or plastic solutions, convenience and performance is now at your fingertips.

Reintroducing the Zegul Kayaks, USA Greenland T kayak pictured here in the full carbon layup. I sold these back in the early 2012 era and although we're good kayaks, just could not get shipped to us without something going wrong. After a few cross country with destroyed boats we dropped them. This was on distribution and not Zegul but at that point they were owned by Tahe Marine.

After sitting in limbo in the states and not much going on across Europe WIG Kayaks was able to purchase and is now building and distributing Zegul, Arrow and their own awesome line as well. Needless to say, build qualities have gone up. Distribution has improved. Options have changed. With help of Stellar Kayaks the US shipping is covered and I'm looking forward to seeing more of all of these brands coming in soon. Now back to the kayak 😬.

The Greenland T is a classic Greenland-style sea kayak with a slightly roomier design suitable for longer day trips without sacrificing the true characteristics of traditional Greenland kayaks. It features a hard chine along the V-bottomed hull and a high rocker for easy maneuvering. The low front deck aids in forward rolls, while the low back deck facilitates easy layback rolls.

The Greenland T comes with Fiberglass or Full Carbon construction and is equipped with a retractable skeg for better control in wind and waves. Three hatches provide ample storage for gear while maintaining the traditional Greenland kayak aesthetic.

Introducing the WIG Kayaks Hunter. This beautiful kayak has a unique design and impressive build coming in just over 40 lbs.

Precision Control and Stability:Hunter 520 excels in agility and precise handling, making it ideal for rough waters. Its curved hull (rocker) and wide section under the cockpit ensure maximum control, stability, and safety in any conditions. The large bow and stern volume enhance adaptability to challenging sea environments.

Adjustable Seat System:
This kayak features an innovative seat adjustment system along its axis, allowing users to fine-tune their seating position for personal comfort and balance. This adaptability enhances control and stability across a variety of scenarios, from calm waters to demanding technical routes.

Versatility and Top-Level Comfort:
While the Hunter 520 is designed for dynamic paddling in waves, its primary purpose is open-water touring. It offers ample storage space for extended expeditions. The ergonomic cockpit layout ensures a comfortable paddling experience, even during long journeys.

Engineered for Demanding Users:
Tailored for paddlers weighing 75kg / 165lbs or more and standing at least 170 cm / 5'6" tall, the Hunter 520 delivers optimal fit, control, and comfort in all situations.

Advanced Construction:
Crafted using infusion technology for consistent and high-quality lamination. The construction uses two layers of biaxial fiberglass or premium materials with Soric core material. This makes Hunter 520 exceptionally lightweight, durable, and rigid. The deck design further reinforces structural stiffness.

Check out the first of the new Stellar Kayaks Nomad LV in the awesome Carbon Kevlar Multisport layup. We had our first full size come in last month and lasted 2 days before it was sold. This is the Low Volume version sized for smaller framed paddlers or mid sized paddlers that prefer a snugger fit.

From Stellar: "This boat is both playful and stable in the surf and an excellent full featured expedition kayak. Recognizing the paddlers’ needs in this segment, the seat position is more central in the cockpit for comfortable back-deck rolling. The embedded compass mount, 3 bulkheads, stern-deck day hatch, stern-deck paddle recess for remounting and contoured spare paddle storage, will hit many buttons for the avid coastal Sea Kayaker. We’ve reinforced the decks and hulls for tougher usage in rescues, remounting and anchoring sail mounts as well as hull reinforcements for rock gardening. This skeg driven boat uses the innovative Kajak-Sport #4 skeg, with an optional over-stern rudder plumbing too."

Do you have a kayak that looks like the gel coat has turned into a piece of chalk? Oxidation occurs from UV exposure and in Florida we have no shortage of that. An oxidized kayak is easier to scratch, easier to get stains from chemicals and other contaminants in the water where you're paddling as well as get more brittle leading to a higher chance of stress cracks, etc.

The good thing is if your kayak is not ancient we can more than likely bring that back to life with no more than a few hours worth of work. If it is ancient and has been neglected it's probably going to need a bit more but still doable. This Tiderace Xceed XS had seen better days and was not only well overdue for a wax but in need of a complete buff and polish before getting her waxed up and ready to go again.

Approximately 3 hours of buffing and waxing went into this before we got new lines on it and did a small tweak to the skeg connection that was giving the owner issues with it. It now looks just as good as the day it came out of the container (perhaps better?) and is ready to be maintained with just regular waxing at this point.

Customers Michelle and Perry out in their new Stellar Kayaks ST19 Modular. Storing the 19 ft was doable with storing it in four pieces was much easier and with the ability to also have a single(S14) using the same boat it was an easy choice for them to make. Congratulations on your new kayak guys!

Come check out the third generation of the ever popular S16 sea kayak from Stellar Kayaks. We have probably sold more of the S16 than any of the other Stellars with how long they have been out through all these generations but this is the first of the new one that we have got in. Tweaks to the hull allowing better edging control and easier handling without having to use the rudder, a tad more stability while keeping the same efficiency if not a slight improvement and then a lightly revamped deck design shadowing the recently released S16lv G2. This incorporates the original style rubber grab handles as well as a redesigned locking bar on the rear deck for a cable lock to run through with more space for different style locks.

We have hours here available to demo or purchase in the multisport carbon Kevlar construction with a factory installed keel strip.
