Paddling is one of the simplest and safest outdoor recreational activities. Just about anyone can jump aboard, grab a double-bladed paddle, and start exploring. Whether you prefer kayaking or paddleboarding, we have everything you need for all your paddling excursions.

Kayaks

There are a variety of kayaks that are specialized for different applications including sit-in-kayaks, sit-on-top kayaks, and inflatable kayaks. When selecting a kayak, your first step is to identify the type of kayaking that you plan to do. If you're looking for a kayak that is easy to store and transport, an inflatable option may be your best bet. Sit-in kayaks offer more protection from the elements and are usually designed to be more streamlined and efficient for longer trips. Sit-on-top kayaks are self-bailing and provide more stability. No matter which option you pick, your kayak will provide endless adventures on the water.

Paddleboards

Paddleboarding is all about balance and core strength. As you stand on the board and paddle through the water, you'll engage your entire body, which builds strength and improves your balance and coordination. But paddleboarding isn't just a great workout—it's also a fun and relaxing way to enjoy the water. At West Marine, we offer both inflatable and rigid paddleboards. For easy packability and storage, try an inflatable paddleboard. If you're interested in longer paddling trips in more challenging conditions, we suggest a rigid paddleboard.
