Kayalu is a Boston-based manufacturer of cutting-edge navigation lights, camera and video mounts, GPS mounts and marine-grade gear for paddlers and boaters. The company’s patent-pending Kayalite® is made in the USA and stands alone in its class of lights for night paddling and angling. The U.S. Coast Guard regulation-compliant Kayalite sports a bright-white Tektite LED with 200 hours of illumination on a single set of batteries, an indestructible, submersible and buoyant body, and a clip-on base far more reliable than suction-cup mounts and rigid poles. The Kayacam® is one of a number of portable camera mounts offered by Kayalu, each of which minimize alterations to the kayak, SOT or canoe. All Kayalu products are endurance tested by professional paddlers, yak anglers and mariners, and the company publishes all independent reviews online.

KuviaKuvia introduces high performance kayak sailing with the Kayaksailor™. This new product is revolutionizing the sport of kayaksailing. With creative thinking and extensive research and development, we have come up with a product that is a proven winner. It's high quality, fun and easy to use. In the past, sailing a kayak without outriggers confined the user to the realm of downwind sailing. The Kayaksailor™ breaks out of this mold by using efficient sail design, foiled leeboards and instant deployment and takedown. Now paddlers can sail upwind, and have fun doing it! It's simple enough for the neophyte, yet sophisticated enough to please even the most technical sailor/kayaker. See it in action! http://blog.kayaksailor.com/videos/
