KAYAKS
Whitewater • Touring • River Running • Playboats
At Northern Lights, kayaking is in our DNA. After 48 seasons in watersports, we continue to carry the largest selection of kayaks in the region — because different rivers demand different boats.
Whitewater Kayaks
We carry the best-performing whitewater boats from industry leaders like Jackson Kayak and Pyranha. Whether you’re stepping into your first river runner or charging big water, we have something dialed for you.

Jackson Kayaks
Performance-driven kayaks designed to blend stability, play, and confidence for paddlers of every level.

Up your game and join the Antix Maniacs.
Available in S, M, L.
FLOW
Now in its second season, the Flow is an all-around river runner with nearly limitless possibilities. With a creeker-style hull and high rocker, it performs confidently for beginners and still delivers thrills for experienced paddlers.
Available in S, M, L.
CLUTCH
Big water? No problem.
The Clutch rips eddy turns and makes hard ferries effortless. With a fully rockered bow and a flatter, edged stern, its half-slice design allows serious carving and stern-driven play.
Available in M/L (one size).
ROCKSTAR 5.0
Need a playboat with no limits? When runoff drops and features get smaller, saddle up your Rockstar and turn less water into more play. Built for progression and dialed freestyle performance.
Available in S, M, L.
Whitewater Kayaks
Pyranha Kayaks
Innovative whitewater kayaks built for precision control, river-running power, and serious play.
REACT
Charge ahead with confidence in Pyranha’s latest creek boat. Designed as an all-river machine, the React is more maneuverable than most creekers while delivering excellent beginner stability and full-on big-water capability. Features Elite outfitting for comfort and adjustability.
Available in S, M, L.
FIRECRACKER
Putting smiles on a lot of faces. This playful river runner and shorter half-slice give you more interaction with the river. Looking for a crossover kayak that tackles bigger water but still plays? Pyranha hit the mark with the Firecracker.
Light your fuse.
Available in 232, 242, 252.
NEW STORM
Coming this spring. The Storm is designed to be more amped up for play while still capable as a river runner. Think of it as a bold cousin to the Firecracker — more attitude, more pop, more playtime.
Available in S, M, L.
JACKSON JOURNEY 14
A true pleasure to paddle and a highly capable river touring boat. I’ve personally run this boat in big Class III water, and it never flinched.
Comfortable for long day paddles or load it up and disappear for a week.
EDDYLINE KAYAKS
Eddyline kayaks are constructed from Carbonlite 2000, a thermoformed ABS material that offers two major advantages over traditional polyethylene:
- Lighter weight
- Greater stiffness and rigidity
The result is a kayak that feels noticeably more responsive and efficient in the water. With an average weight savings of about 20%, they feel livelier on the water and easier to transport off it.
Our current stock of Eddylines is still at last year’s pricing — so there are savings to be had.
Call us for updated inventory and pricing.
Touring Kayaks
Some of my most magical days on the water have happened in touring kayaks.
From placid lakes to bigger flowing rivers to ocean estuaries, touring kayaks open the water world to its widest realm of possibilities. Everyone I’ve introduced to touring kayaks has fallen in love with the experience.
We carry models primarily in the 12.5 to 15.5 foot range — the most versatile size range for our region.
Let’s talk about your goals and we’ll help you make the right choice.
