#1 Explortek LED Headlamp Flashlight
The Nite-Blazer LED Headlamp is the perfect solution for an early morning or night trip out on the water. The easily adjustable headband reveals a powerful beam of light that illuminate an area roughly 120 yards ahead. This portable kayak buddy comes with a durable storage case and batteries as additions – the perfect gift for all avid kayakers!
#2 Aluminum D Ring Carabiners Clips Hook
Every kayaker should have at least a few caribiners – they are invaluable for clipping things to your boat and your PFD as well as transporting kayaks and lashing them to your car.
#3 SeaSpecs Extreme Sports Sunglasses
These glasses are designed for kiteboarding, surfing, jetskiing, windsurfing, snowboarding and other extreme water sports. I’ve only ever used them for whitewater kayaking. Some people kayak without glasses, but I sincerely don’t understand how they can do that.
#4 SPOT Satellite Personal Tracker
Your kayaking friend won’t need this… Until they do. Then, it will make all the difference. If this doesn’t same their life, it will at least provide some peace of mind.
#5 The Emerald Mile by Kevin Fedarko
This is pretty much a must-read for anyone who loves adventures and the outdoors — especially kayakers, and especially ones who are about to do the Grand Canyon.
#6 Luci Inflatable Solar Lantern
Inflatable, solar-rechargeable, waterproof, ultralight and cheap, these lanters are perfect for both camping, entertaining in your backyard, and, of course, night kayaking.
#7 Acrodo Dry Bag Transparent & Waterproof
Not only will it keep your items dry, you can attach it to the kayak in case you capsize and it won’t sink. I like the clear ones so you can easily reach your gear.
#8 Extra Strength CBD Muscle Salve
It’s no secret that enjoying the outdoors can take its toll on your body, but there’s no reason to let pain and discomfort win. The Glacier Wellness Muscle Salve offers tremendous relief where you need it most and it won’t leave you oily or smelling like an old-age home! In addition to its truly remarkable and effective pain relief, the CBD body butter is great for calming the stress of everyday life thanks to its mix of essential oils and soothing scents.
#9 Hyde Wingman Inflatable Life Jacket
Approved by US coast guards, the Hyde Wingman has a sleek and comfortable fit so you will look good before and after it inflates. Aside from looking good, it is a one-size-fits-all high performance life jacket that can be used for many sports including kayaking.
