Frequently Asked Questions

What gear do I need to get with my kayak?

The fundamental essentials for all kayaks are a lifejacket and paddle. Kayaks with decks also use a sprayskirt and flotation. Whitewater paddlers and sea kayakers should wear helmets in rock and surf zones. You'll also want appropriate clothing for the weather and water conditions you'll be paddling in. Dry bags are also essential for storing gear you'll need while on the water.

How do I need to store the kayak?

When possible, choose an indoor location or one that is protected from the elements, such as sheds, garages, or porches. A shady, cool, and dry location helps minimize sun, moisture, or heat damage. If you need to store your boat outdoors, we recommend a cover to protect your boat from the elements and keep little creatures out. Store your boat out of direct sunlight and slightly elevated off the ground.

How do I keep my kayak clean?

We recommend rinsing your kayak after each use, especially in saltwater environments. You'll want to use a mild natural or marine-friendly soap for deeper cleaning. Please check your owner's manual for any specific recommendations.

Do I need a spray skirt for my kayak?

Spray skirts or splash decks are commonly used for kayaks with a cockpit, although some paddlers prefer to use them in something other than flat water environments. Sit-on-top kayaks do not use spray skirts.
