THESE
PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN MOVED TO MORE GEAR - MORE VARIETY - FASTER! Kayak Sponge Got a soggy cockpit? Sit-In-Side Paddlers need a sponge, and some Sit-On-Top paddlers can benefit from a sponge too. Not only will this sponge help dry out your seat, but it will mop up bilge water in side your kayak too. Good for clean up as well. 7" x 5" x 2". Handy Holder This little device is handy to hold down all kinds of stuff. Velcro wrap on one end, plastic clip on the other. Clip onto any strap eye and use the Velcro wrap to hold a paddle or fishing pole. Wrap Velcro onto any strap, rope or line to add a clip for small waterproof bags, water bottles and what ever you can imagine. Too many uses to consider! Very handy for fishing, diving and touring. Rescue Rope Throw Bag Primary rescue gear for white water paddlers. Can be used in many water sport situations. Remember the swimmer in distress safety saying: "Throw, Row, Go". That means; throw a float or rope, take out a boat, go for help. Throw bag consists of: 50 feet of yellow ¼" floating poly line, 900 pound test. Durable drawstring bag with built in float. Resists rot and mildew. Can be enhanced by adding a rock climbing quality carabineer. Two
Multi Use Cargo Straps - Can be used
as a kelp anchor (aka surface anchor) Clip-On Stow Bag, small 4 x 9 inches - Clip-On Stow Bag, large 4 x 12 inches Stow Bags that go! Clip this small cargo bag anywhere handy. Useful for all sorts of things. Stow your glasses, snacks, keys, sunscreen, fishing tackle, what ever… Made of durable fabric that resists rot and mildew. (NOT water proof) Bag has a tuff plastic zipper, grommet drain hole web strap loop and a brass clip that snaps into a strap eye, D-ring, PFD, backrest or inside a hatch, with strap eye installed. Storm Whistle Every life jacket should have a whistle tied to it. Use your whistle for emergency by blowing it three times loudly. Use your whistle to get the attention (non-emergency) of your paddling buddies by blowing once. Yes, I know nine bucks seems like a lot for a little plastic whistle, I agree, but this is a very loud whistle, so cover your ears when you test it. TopKayaker.Net Basic Whistle The advantage of the TopKayaker Whistle is that it has a built in clip that snaps onto PFDs that do not have pockets. You still need a lanyard to tie off with. (I find that you can tie off to the shoulder strap. Do Not tie off to the zipper, it can catch & un-zip!) The other advantage is that it costs less than the storm whistle, but is not as loud. TopKayaker.Net Mesh Gear Bag A perfect size gear bag to handle your sit-on-top kayak accessories. Enough room to handle one paddler's PFD, backrest, knee straps, bowline, paddle leash and some assorted small stuff; or use to store several PFDs or backrests at a time. Also good for paddle wear. Mesh netting allows sand to fall out, rinse water to flow in and good for air drying. Helps prevent mildew. Features a heavy-duty, full-length plastic zipper, handles, and adjustable or removable shoulder strap. 28" long by 14" in diameter. TopKayaker.Net Padded Paddle Case Holds up to three two-piece paddles. Padded case will protect paddles for transportation (including air lines) and in storage. Rugged construction with a full-length plastic zipper that will not corrode. Made out of heavy duty synthetic fabric.Handle and removable shoulder strap, for hands free carry. 61 inches long will accommodate all common size paddles. May fit some canoe paddles and fishing poles, not for one-piece kayak paddles. Assorted Paddle Leashes: A paddle leash will keep paddle & kayak together in wind & surf. Your grip on your paddle links you to your kayak after capsize. Use a paddle leash in surf & wind (not in whitewater) to maintain control of your kayak. Even if you let go, a paddle on a leash will act as a sea anchor to slow your kayak down. Great for beginners. Handy for fishing and diving. Can also be used for Fishing Pole Leash!
TopKayaker.Net Adjustable Bow Line Finally a "one size fits all" bow line! Made of strong nylon webbing strap. Brass swivel snaps at each end. Ladder-loc for adjustment to fit a wide variety of kayaks. Extends up to six feet long. Can be used as a stern line. Suitable for use in "bow line - paddle leash" attachments. TopKayaker.Net Pro Form Knee Straps: Contoured ergonomic design, padded knee straps, with quick release side-squeeze buckles for safety and ladder-loc for easy adjustment. Suitable for all rough water and flat water activities. Standard brass clips for mounting. You will need strap eyes mounted on your kayak to attach your knee straps. A pair of strap eyes (right & left) near the ankles and a pair of strap eyes (right & left) near the hips, along the sides of your cockpit are needed. Deluxe
Thigh Braces High quality knee straps for surfing, white water,
rough water and maximum control of your kayak in all conditions.
We have several pairs for our fleet and never paddle with out them.
These Thigh braces (aka knee straps) are molded for right and left
sides, contoured for effectiveness and comfort. You will need strap
eyes mounted on your kayak to attach your knee straps. A pair of
strap eyes (right & left) near the ankles and a pair of strap
eyes (right & left) near the hips, along the sides of your cockpit
are needed. TopKayaker.Net Anchor Kits: 2 sizes to choose from three pound and one & half pound. Three pound galvanized folding anchor, 70 feet of line (3/16 parachute cord), brass clip for bow attachment and comes in a durable case with plastic zipper, brass keeper clip, and grommet drain hole. Suitable for divers, fishing, snorkeling, swimming, resting and can accommodate several kayaks at a time. For use in 25 to 35 feet of water. Add more line for deeper depths. Related article: Outfitting Your Dive Kayak: Important Safety Tips & Anchoring Procedures TopKayaker.Net Anchor Kit: One & a half pound - same features as above 3 lb anchor Also: It is not the size of the anchor that holds the boat. It is the length of the line. The longer the line, the better the hold. The line does not need to be thick rope or chain; it only has to be strong enough to handle the wind and currents. My advice: Both sizes are suitable for fishing and diving, the larger more suited for diving and multiple boats, while the smaller one for fishing and single boats. My suggestion for a rope “upgrade” would be ½ - ¼ inch hollow core braided polypro rope, yellow, available at many hardware stores in 100 foot lengths. Contact Tom for advice and about creating a loop at each end to fasten brass clips. Kayak Hangers: TWO KAYAK: Hangs two kayaks, one top - one bottom, on any wall or beam. Preferred storage is hanging the kayaks' on their side, and this does it well. Easy to install with carriage bolts or lag screws (not included, get at hardware store) some tools and know-how needed. (See "Storing Your Sit-on-top Kayak" article on our site.) Strap Circumference is 5 foot 6 inches maximum for the 3-Kayak Hanger. The 2-Kayak Hanger strap circumference is 6 foot 6 inches maximum (1 foot more!). Wide Tandem kayaks may NOT fit. Measure all the way around the kayak at the front seat and back seat to determine if this rack will fit your kayaks. Use a rope or rack strap around boat, then measure it with tape measure. Some wide solo kayaks may not fit as well. Measure FIRST or e-mail Tom THREE KAYAK: Hang 3 for less (includes harware!) 3 Kayak Hanging Storage Rack Stores up to three hanging kayaks. Screw hooks for installation into wood included. Loops at top of the heavy-duty straps can be used for alternative hanging installations on pipes, beams and girders. Both types of hanging racks can be used to store surfboards, wave skis, white water kayaks, one man outriggers, sit-in & sit-on kayaks of all types. (Maybe also ladders and long tools.) Not necessarily suitable for canoes. Kayak-Carry Shoulder Strap Want a quick, non-bulky, economical way to carry your kayak? Here it is! The alternative to wheels. This padded shoulder strap threads through scupper holes and clips with brass snaps. Fully adjustable for a variety of kayaks and paddler heights. Your kayak should have two drain holes, one forward of the balance point and one behind, both holes preferably in the cockpit. Best if scupper holes are in pairs on right and left sides. ADAPTING The Carry Strap may work for some centerline, multi drain hole kayaks, as well as sit-in kayaks. See Article Kayak Carry Strap: Uses, Adaptations & Instructions This device is best for lighter, smaller kayaks. (Less than 50 lbs. ~ Shorter than 14') It can be used with larger, heavier kayaks over short distance across pavement, rough terrain and stairs where wheels are not effective. Long distance portages of big kayaks is better with wheels. TopKayaker.net Roof Rack Straps: Heavy duty webbing strap and padded metal cam-lock buckle.
