Wavewalk Kayaks

Sometimes you might need to drain water from the bottom of your fishing kayak, for example if a big wave breaks right on top of it, or if you capsized it and it overturned.

Whitewater canoeists and kayakers as well as touring kayakers use either bilge buckets or bilge pumps for this purpose.

This DIY hand bilge bucket is easy to make, lightweight, and above all - effective.

You can use any 1 gallon plastic bottle (E.G. milk bottle, water bottle) to make such a bucket - Just cut the bottom and secure the cap so it won’t fall, and you’re all set.

This square, 1 gallon standard size fits the width of the W kayak hulls perfectly, which makes such a bucket more efficient.

Naturally, you should attach the bucket to your kayak, so that you can find it when you need it…
