To step into a kayak is to step into a 5,000 year old tradition. An ancient creation devised by arctic Eskimos seeking a way to better feed their tribe. The Eskimos are our paddling ancestors, and we, the latest generation in this family of paddlers, carry on that tradition in what we do today. An avid Whitewater kayaker, Tom Derrer began building Whitewater kayaks for himself and friends in the late sixties, and opened Eddyline in 1971 in Boulder, Colorado. In 1973 he moved the tiny company to Seattle where he discovered sea kayaking and built a reputation for himself by bringing advanced...

They include a clean working environment for our staff, no air emissions to the planet, and completely recyclable material. Virtually none of our...

Length: 15.5' Beam: 24" Weight: 49 lbs Life is a journey, and this kayak is bound to bring some fun to it. The Journey is an efficient, stable and seaworthy cruising kayak capable of eating up miles and carrying a decent load for those weekend camping trips.

The Fathom is sure to please the paddler looking for that extra edge of performance regardless of your skill level. The Fathom's highly efficient hull is fast, nearly effortless to accelerate to speed, yet carries a comfortable degree of initial stability. The combination of hard chines mid-ship and a healthy degree of rocker provide high secondary stability making leaned carved turns and bow rudder turns a breeze. The Fathom tracks well either forward or backwards and subtle deployment of the skeg in small increments allows for fine tuning in any wind/wave or gear loaded configuration....

Length: 72' Beam: 26" Weight: 41 lbs The Skylark fits into a new category of kayak considered transitional or cross over. While essentially a recreational kayak in size and fit, the Skylark has been endowed with much more consideration to the features and performance found in a full fledged sea kayak including hatches and bulkheads bow and stern for maximum flotation. We gave it abundant stability and a roomy fit to make the entry level paddler comfortable, yet the efficiency to keep up with longer boats on an easy cruise. This kayak is attractive to beginners and one that they can grow in,...

Length: 12' Beam: 28" Weight: 38 lbs Anyone can paddle this boat! The large cockpit makes getting in or out of this very stable recreational kayak a breeze, even from a dock or boat deck. Take along your kid, your dog, your camera, the groceries, oh - and don't forget the fishing rod. It's stable enough to land a big one. The Sandpiper is easy to maneuver in those backwaters while bird watching and small enough to fit on your yacht. It is so easy to paddle you just might want two. Includes bulkheads and hatches bow and stern for maximum flotation. Rudder Free suited for persons of lighter...

Retractable Carry Handles This easy to use system keeps your handle always securely in place whether you are transporting the kayak on your car or paddling through waves and wind (available on most of our models). Rudders have been used for years to compensate for inadequacies in hull performance, particularly in windy and rough sea conditions (and unfortunately to cover up a poor design effort). Beginners often like rudders because they feel they have control of the kayak more quickly, even though this actually slows skill development. Rudders come with a price. They add windage, increase...

Ergonomie Foot Brace The Sea Dog foot brace has 14" of adjustable travel with the flip of a lever. It is designed to be maintenance free, self cleaning and has tremendous strength. This economically designed pedal makes it very comfortable even with bare feet and it won't come off the track when you are using it. Eddyline provides reentry bungies on the rear deck of all singles (except the Sandpiper). These cords work in conjunction with our Backfloat or any other paddle float device to stabilize the kayak while you get back in. The optional Backfloat however, has a dual purpose. It also...

Swift paddles represent the ultimate in simplicity, light weight and durability achieved through a combination of technologies developed over 39 years. Swift paddle blades are constructed from multiple layers of aircraft glass and other specialized fibers. The complex laminate is vacuum bagged using high strength resins and pressure to produce a blade that is stiff and strong, yet very lightweight. Combined with an ovaled graphite shaft and easy adjust feathering, the asymmetrical blades move smoothly through the water with each powerful but efficient stroke "This paddle is light (very...
