Welcome to Kayak-Kayak of Holland, Michigan

“In all things of Nature, there is something of the marvelous”….Aristotle

We resonate with the words and thoughts of Aristotle. We understand that he may not have spent much time on the water and that his Eskimo roll is in question, but his reasoning isn’t. We think Aristotle’s statement kicks off our 2009 season with the correct emphasis.

Focus on Nature
As you read through our site, you will note some changes and additions. We are always on the lookout for interesting new products that offer excellent value and good performance. We are increasing our emphasis on getting out in nature and paddling. Michigan offers a huge series of options. West Michigan, our immediate area is a microcosm of Michigan Paddling and where there are other special places, we plan to visit there.

Michigan has over 50,000 miles of rivers and streams to paddle. We are happy to help you identify and plan your trip. Check out our blog http://skipsnotes.blogspot.com/ to be current on our paddling activity. Our paddling venues are among the most beautiful in the country.

Our trips beyond west Michigan bring us to Drummond Island, the inland water way outside of Petoskey and the cave formations on the Bruce Peninsula on Georgian Bay.

Trash Bag Paddles
We offer our rental customers a payback opportunity. Take a bag with you and return it to us with trash from your paddling area and we will rebate $ 5 on your rental charges. We think everyone wins with this notion that we picked up through another Emotion dealer in Gulfport, Florida.

New Lines
Among the new lines this year is the Nifty line of kayaks. Designed by Mike Necklar (the founder of Necky) he is back with this outstanding line of boats which fit between our Prijon touring boats and the Emotion recreational line of kayaks. Our first nifty boats will be the 350 ( 11’6”) and 430 (14’1”). The 430 comes equipped with a rudder or skeg. The Nifty line is available to us as Prijon dealers because of their partnership with Nifty.

Another boat is the Spitfire, which is a blow- molded short boat at 8’ and 30 pounds. It is a great sit-on top beach boat made for family fun.

These are great value boats that bring our customers even a wider selection of good value.
To our 7-2 paddle line we are offering the Bending Branches and Aqua Bound paddles. The manufacture is done just across the Lake in Wisconsin and offer excellent performance at good prices.
