FISHING
A great fisherman deserves a great fishing kayak, so how do you pick the right one? Top fishing kayaks can be determined by a
few key features: Stability and Comfort – The width of the kayak really comes in to play here. At 33”, the below models keep you
stable, dry, and comfortable while you move around adjusting rods, grabbing tackle, standing, or just sightseeing. Ample Storage –
You caught a beast! Make sure you have somewhere to put it without sacrificing your lucky rod. Our fishing kayaks have some of
the best storage on the market, as well as a secure milk crate area. The Stealth 14 and X-Factor even have the option of expanded
storage with the purchase of the X-Tank! Standing Platform – Cast with ease using our comfortable standing platforms, designed
and tested by Pro Anglers. Live Well – Never worry about bulky custom bucket riggings again with our patented live well system!
Just reach in, pull out your bait, and you’re on your way to bringing home the trophy catch! Fish Finder Options – Well, with all
that live bait, you’ll still want to find the fish, right? Lowrance handpicked Malibu Kayaks as a partner for the brand, and now all
fishing recommended models come complete with a Lowrance suited, easy install, transducer mount molded in.

HUNTING
Be very, very quiet…you’re buying a kayak! Let’s face it, all the best hunting spots are the most difficult to get to, and often cold and wet.
With the new Coast Guard regulations and annoying transportation issues caused by boats, kayaks are becoming the new mainstream
hunting platform! A great hunting kayak will come with extensive storage options, seating areas for Fido, and be stable enough to
provide a dry (and quiet!) ride. Our Duck Hunting X-Factor was the first to bridge the gap between the worlds of angling and hunting,
with the near universal wooded camo. New to the recommended family is the X-Caliber, the carefully designed kayak that is considered
one of the most stable and dry on the market! Check out our camo color combos to find what works best for your locale.

FAMILY
Kayaking with your family is a great way to get together and play! Whether you’re basking in the Bahamas, splashing around in
California, or racing in New York, you’re going to want a safe, light, and durable option your family can enjoy for years. Several of our
models come equipped with the Gator Hatch, which is equipped with a patented child seating area. If you are interested in more of
a hands on experience, check out our Pro 2 Tandem! You can have it outfitted with as many storage options as you see fit, and our
tandem can fit up to 2 adults and one child (or fur baby!). When they’re taking a break on the beach, paddle around on your own by
converting our tandem to a single seater! If the kids are up for paddling independence, have them try the Mini-X or 3.4. Both models
are light, easily transportable, and sized perfectly for the younger generation.
