BELLYAK® – 2014

WHY DO WE PADDLE? 99% of the reasons people paddle aren’t for what you see in magazines. It’s not about how big the drop is or first descents… it’s about being out there. It’s about the feeling of camaraderie that occurs from sharing the experience of floating down a river or playing in the surf. Paddling is a group sport… we depend on our friends for shuttle, for safety, for bringing beer to the takeout. It’s about being there, experiencing the freedom of human powered watercraft.

That’s why we developed the Bellyak®: to create an interface between man and water that enhances the experience of messing about in boats. For neophytes, the Bellyak® offers an unmatched level of accessibility with no skirts, straps or sprayskirts. For the old pro, the bellyak offers an entirely new challenge on familiar waters. River, Lake, Ocean… anywhere there’s water, a Bellyak® can take you there.

I love the connection to the water. It’s a lot like being in the ocean on a surfboard, except I can take the Bellyak® on a river or just float in the lake.

It was so liberating the first time I tried it: no confined spaces or numb legs and feet. I USED to kayak. I have found a new joy in river sports – the Bellyak®. “
