Thank you Klaus! That one looks very interesting too.

Thank you Kelly! I’d love to check this one out. It doesn’t seem that much smaller than mine, other than the wheels, but I’m interested to check it out!
The one Klaus suggested looks very interesting too.

My kayak does not have an oval hatch, so I needed something small and compact that would fit into a round hatch. Enter the Supenz EZ stow kayak cart:

EZ-Stow Stern Cart™

I have only used a handful of times, but really like it so far.

Hi Quirine

I have a small cheap cart that I use for moving boats around my garage that I bought from Princess Auto. It’s about half the size of a regular cart. I would only recommend it on hard surfaces with an empty boat. You’re not going to like it on sand. You are welcome to borrow mine to see if it works for you.

Hi paddlers!
Asking for advice or ideas:
I’d like to have a mini set of wheels to bring for when I move my boat a short distance, like from my rack at Jericho to the water. I already have a larger sturdy set but would like to have something that I can carry easily when I walk with my gear. There doesn’t seem to be any I can find online. Some DIY options out there but I don’t really have the tools needed and wouldn’t know where to start.
I appreciate all thoughts!

Hi Kate and ken.

I will join you two tomorrow 8 am .

[Ken Bigelow]

Hey Kate!

Sounds like fun! I its been a while since I have done a round trip. Happy to meet @ Deep Cove Kayak for 8am launch.

I’m going to be heading from Deep Cove to Granite Falls and back on Saturday, July 4 if anyone would like to come with me! Planning to leave from Deep Cove Kayak Centre at 8am,  intermediate pace (7km/hr?), early lunch/snack break & water refill  at Granite Falls and then back. Roughly 33km/18nm.

I’m also open to starting at Cates Park and/or going all the way to Wigwam Creek if we’re feeling like we want a longer day (which could be around 45km/24nm), but I’d likely be a bit slower by the end of that!

There is one space left for this last minute posting. The weather looks a little better next week, but we will be base camping, so it is not really an issue.

Every paddler has a hero. Maybe it’s an instructor, a volunteer, or the friend who stepped up when things got serious on the water. The inaugural Paddle BC Awards celebrate the people, organizations, and communities that make paddling in British Columbia safer, stronger, and more fun. And you can help choose the winners! Visit the Paddle BC Awards page to explore the categories and nominate your favourite BC paddlers and paddling organizations.
