ABOUT US
In
the beginning we were a new company with a revolutionary vision about
better paddling and fishing, and we had a patented invention that would
enable it all.
Today 'About Us' is the story of a well tested product and confirmed
achievements. More importantly, it's about W kayakers and W kayak
fishermen - people across America and in other countries around the
world who are taking part in the development and improvement of their
favorite sports and outdoor activities. They do it while expanding the
envelope of what was previously recognized as achievable.
So far no one used our boat for jumping down a huge waterfall but
people who use it do enjoy things like extreme comfort, super stability
and a new level of mobility they couldn't attain before with either
canoes or kayaks.
Although we didn't send a team of W paddlers to the glacier lakes of
Patagonia to get some spectacular pictures, people who paddle our boat
and fish from it in winter feel more protected than they used to be in
traditional kayaks.
Not too many people specialize in kayak surfing, but every day W
Kayakers including elderly people and children enjoy playing with our
boat in the surf, simply because now they can, and it's fun.
This is about regular people who do exceptional things such as standup
paddling and kayak fishing standing on a daily basis, and all through
the year, because the W kayak calls for it. They spend longer
hours in their W boat without getting out; not because they're into
breaking some record, but because they feel very comfortable in it.
They can stretch their legs at anytime and in any way they want while
staying in. It's also about people who launch their W Kayaks
anywhere they want, go wherever they want and beach it anywhere they
choose to, thus enjoying true freedom they couldn't have before with
either sit-in or sit-on-top kayaks.
Those of us who fish from our W kayaks enjoy the extra power they get
from their legs in the riding position. After all, when you cast or
fight a big fish you need all the power you can get.
We're all regular people who do extraordinary things with their kayaks,
and we feel great discovering more new things we can do with
them. We like new things if they are better than the old ones and
we don't care too much about conventions. We're open minded individuals
and we like to take decisions by ourselves based on our own judgment
and common sense.
We want to have more fun without giving up our full comfort, and we
think to ourselves "let's rock" when we see approaching the big wake
generated by a fast motorboat because it's no longer a problem for us -
just one more source of amusement.
And here's our little secret: most of us like to stand up in our W
kayaks and engage in a casual conversation with regular ('mono')
kayakers sitting as low as water level… You may like it too.
At Wavewalk we feel we're just a part of this unfolding story, and we
like to stay in touch with our clients long after we've delivered their
boats to them and made sure everything is OK. It's because we always
have something new and interesting to talk about: A new, fun
experience, a new idea for outfitting the boat, a new cool picture, a
new challenge - It's always fresh and fun, and it keeps growing.
That's about us and that's what we like, and there are more of us
everywhere - from Taiwan to Great Britain and New Zealand, and from
Canada to Texas.
