Keeping it Simple……

 The staff at Emotion Kayaks have been in the outdoor industry most of our lives. As long- time retailers of just about every kind of specialty sports equipment you could buy, we use to cringe at how complicated many companies seemed to make up their product selection. We are focused on 'keeping it simple', by completely understanding our little niche in the grand scheme of things.

The result is a line up of kayaks that are built as well as we could build them, taking no shortcuts. kayaks that make sense, because they address the needs and wants of over 90% of the people out there that are looking to relax, exercise, fish, or just plain old have fun out on the water. Any one of our boats will give you years of pleasure and create memories that will last a lifetime - the quality is there. This year we are introducing the MOJO, MOJO Angler, and Advant-Edge - all these boats are a direct response to our customers needs, suggestions, and input. We attend dozens of events each year to talk directly with consumers in addition to hundreds of dealer visits to accumulate every bit of information we can get so we can design and produce kayaks to meet the needs of the consumer.

Like with any other recreational product, proper care, periodic maintenance and safe handling are important. If handled properly and transported with care, an Emotion Kayak will give you years of pleasure. Remember, a kayak takes you out on the water. Use common sense and check the weather before venturing outdoors. Take some time going over the product care, safety tips and warranty information that comes with your kayak. It will make your vacation, fishing excursion, or day-trip a safe, fun and memorable one. Enjoy!

How To Store Your Emotion Kayak (back to top)

Emotion kayaks incorporates an added amount of ultraviolet inhibitors into the plastic of your boat to give superior protection from ultraviolet light. However, to ensure a long lasting appearance and maximum color brightness, be sure to store your boat out of direct sunlight. By following these simple storage tips, you will maximize the aesthetic value of your kayak:

• always store your kayak indoors or under cover, and out of direct sunlight
• store kayak on edge, upside down, standing or hanging horizontally
• when hanging, run straps around boat near the cockpit, not around ends
• do not use drainage holes or toggle handles to hang kayak -- doing so may distort shape
• do not hang kayak with bottom facing down -- doing so may cause distortion
• run lockable cables through drainage holes for added security
• kayak storage systems are available from your dealer

How To Transport Your Emotion Kayak (back to top)

The folks here at Emotion Kayaks strongly recommend that you make the investment and purchase a specially designed kayak transport system that will enable you to transport your boat(s) safely and conveniently. Kayak transport systems can be found at your dealer. A good alternative to a kayak rack is a metal roof rack which consists of a set of bars that attach to your car's rain gutters or clip to the top edge of the doors. Metal roof racks come with a variety of attachments, from kayak saddles to stackers. Saddles cradle the boat, while stackers allow multiple boats to be transported next to one another on their sides. Soft racks, a second alternative, are less expensive and consist of pads that rest between your boat and the car roof. Regardless of the type of system you choose, here are a few tips to follow when securing your boat to your car:

• When using a metal roof rack without attachments, be sure to place padding between the boat and rack bars
• Position kayak cockpit side down when securing to hard or soft rack system
• Run 2 straps across boat bottom and secure to bars (hard rack)
• Run 2 straps across boat bottom and through car doors (soft rack)
• Avoid over tightening soft rack system straps -- may cause dents in car roof
• For added security, two additional points of tie down are recommended -- one each from bow to front bumper and from stern to rear bumper (secure to car frame's towing loops)
• Use drainage holes to run line through to prevent boat from slipping backward or forward
• Be sure your kayak is SECURELY FASTENED prior to traveling out on the highway!
• Be cognizant of carport and garage heights and underpass clearances, and low hanging tree limbs!
