Description
You’re ready to buy your dream kayak. In the perfect color, ready for the touring expedition you’ve been planning for. Wait no more – we are here to help! Or maybe you’re not the kayaker of the family (we promise not to judge you for that). Maybe you’re ready to make someone else’s kayak dream a reality this holiday season. Either way – we have a solution for you!
If you would like to use our financing partner for your purchase, please contact us. We’ll build a product page just for you so that you can finance your whole purchase.
Your deposit will secure your place in our production schedule. Don’t know exactly what you want, or you’re ordering a gift? That’s okay. Even if you haven’t decided when we get to you, you keep your spot at the top of the list. Your deposit is refundable until we begin production on your kayak.
Giving the Gift of a Custom Kayak
So you have a kayaker in your life who has always dreamed of a purple glitter boat. Or maybe an all-black boat. Or is it a multi-color fade deck with an expedition lay-up? Really, we can accommodate almost any NC Kayaks combination you can think of. Now… that kayak maybe a bit difficult to wrap. Additionally, your kayak-imagining special someone might enjoy the process of designing their kayak to their own precise specifications. Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered.
Place your order by December 17, and we will ship you a hand-made ornament. We craft our ornaments from the same materials as our kayaks and ship them wrapped and ready to give. If you would like to request a specific color or finish, head over to our Etsy shop and let us know which ornament seems right for your special kayaker. We’ll include a note that explains how the ornament under the tree becomes their dream kayak on the water.
Order Now through December 24 and we’ll Give Back
We will donate 10% of proceeds on all orders placed through Tuesday, December 24th (our own, extended, Giving Tuesday). We will split donations between four worthy organizations in our area*. They work everyday preserving our wildlife and waters and encouraging people to experience all the sea has to offer.
Your order will help support…
The Orca Network
The Orca Network is dedicated to raising awareness about the whales of the Pacific Northwest, and the importance of providing them healthy and safe habitats. A community is emerging that is increasingly attuned to the orca population, that cares about and tries to understand the needs of the Resident and Transient orcas that inhabit the Salish Sea.
The Orca Network is near and dear to our hearts because it is through their social media that we’ve been alerted to viewing opportunities for orcas, humpbacks, and other marine mammals – both from shore and (safely and respectfully) from our kayaks.
The Northwest Maritime Center
The mission of the Northwest Maritime Center is to engage and educate people of all generations in traditional and contemporary maritime life, in a spirit of adventure and discovery. We’re many things, and at our core, we are a campus that uses powerful maritime experiences to educate, inspire people to adventure, and celebrate our maritime culture. We do it for our love of boats, in service to the local community and maritime industry, but mostly because regardless of the subject, the sea is the most powerful teacher we know.
As part of that work, the Northwest Maritime Center captured our imaginations the first time we heard of their amazing event, the Race to Alaska. Then they added SEVENTY48, a shorter, human-power-only race from Tacoma to Port Townsend… and we were in. If you missed the coverage of NC Kayaks’ participation in SEVENTY48, you’ll find it on the blog.
The Ikkatsu Project
Beaches and shorelines from Puget Sound to Antarctica are being inundated with pollution, most of it plastic and much of it toxic. Raising awareness about this serious environmental issue, through print, films and data-gathering expeditions is the primary goal of the Ikkatsu Project.
We’d heard of Ken Campbell and his project, but he really grabbed our attention when he attempted the first SEVENTY48 paddling a boat made of literal garbage. Since then, we’ve learned more about all he does through the Ikkatsu Project and applaud his work.
Washington Water Trails Association
Through advocacy, education, and stewardship, Washington Water Trails Association protects and promotes public access to Washington waterways, shorelines, and marine trails for human-powered watercraft. With our efforts, we want to inspire current and future generations to enjoy and take a greater role in protecting our waterways and ensuring public access.
NC Kayaks are ideal for kayak camping. And Washington Water Trails provide a wonderful opportunity to do just that. We traditionally camp at one of the Cascadia Marine Trail sites for SEVENTY48 and appreciate the work WWTA does to ensure these resources are available.
