NC Kayaks

The decals are in and our most recent custom build is finished. More photos on the way but not until the customer has seen their kayak. Wouldn’t want to spoil the reveal.

Our latest build is on hold for custom decals. One of the few things we don’t make in house. It was getting warm in the shop so we opened the garage doors and the sun just kissed the bow.

What does a custom built kayak look like? The possibilities are endless. Today it looks like this.

I haven’t tried Armra myself but from their choice in kayaks I think I might have to give it a go.

The Columbia River Gorge is a spectacular river fed by many smaller tributaries and waterways that divide Oregon and Washington - It’s a paddlers dream. Long days on the river call for the right kind of nutrition and energy throughout the day. The start of any healthy routine starts with the gut. @tryarmra is my go to colostrum for improved gut health, energy, stamina and overall well being. I take three scoops in the morning before any adventure. Throughout the day, I carry on the go packets that keep up with my pace. 🎥 @diego.j.hinojosa #armra #armrapartner #armracollostrum #columbiarivergorge #kayaking

We have just updated the Summer 2026 Bioluminescence post so you can plan your night outing to see them.

Summer 2026 Bioluminescence in Puget Sound: Best Dates - NC Kayaks A calendar of the best times to see bioluminescence in Puget Sound this summer, so you can plan your kayaking adventure.

We had some warm weather here in the Pacific Northwest recently. Please keep in mind that the water in the Sound is always dangerously cold, and the lakes haven't warmed up yet. If you are heading out to paddle, dress for the water temperature; cold water shock can happen to anyone. Have fun and stay safe.

Here’s a peek at the unveiled kayaks. Come to the Gig Harbor Paddlers Cup tomorrow to see them in person.

The Gig Harbor Paddlers Cup begins tomorrow at Skansie Brothers Park, April 25-26, we will be unveiling 2 gorgeous showcase kayaks, our new innovative upcycled jewellery line, and offering test paddles of our NC15, NC17, and NC19 kayaks.
