fishing kayaks dealer Ontario, CanadaBoyd Smith and Sandy Smith got a W500 kayak last year, and paddled it all around Ontario, in tandem and solo.
They thought it would be a cool idea to distribute the world’s best fishing and paddling kayak in Ontario, founded Ontario Fishing Kayaks for this purpose, and have become Wavewalk’s first distributors in Canada.

Boyd is interested in motorized kayak fishing, as well as in paddling and fishing. He already did some outfitting projects in his W500.

Hamilton is located 30 miles southwest of Toronto.

Gary Thorberg and the MinnYaks team will exhibit the W500, known especially among people who fish out of it as the world’s best fishing kayak, at the coming Annual Northwest Sportshow in Minneapolis, MN, from March 28 till April 1st.

Last fall, Gary, a avid kayak angler and W fishing kayaks dealer in Minnesota, made a significant contribution to the development of the motorized W fishing kayak.

This will be the first time the W500 fishing kayak is exhibited in any trade show.
Gary expects visitors from the Midwest, Northwest and Canada to come to this trade show especially to see the W500.

Here in southern Ontario, the leaves are at their peak colours and the heavy rains have raised the river flow to provide some exciting white water opportunities.
The W500 is higher and drier than other kayaks.

Boyd salvaged a pair of wheels from an broken golf cart, got some 2×2 wood and $10 of hardware, and created his version of kayak trolley, which serves the purpose perfectly.

People everywhere ask Boyd and Sandy “What is this boat?”, so Boyd added the series number 500 to the W logo…

And this is Boyd’s idea of supreme comfort, for when he just wants to lay back and get some rest after a long paddle: A seat with armrests and beads in the back rest:

The seat can be folded, and stored in one of the hulls, so it won’t get in the way when Boyd is paddling.

In such case, called a Self Cleared Shipment, we contract a bonded freight company to deliver the kayak to you, and we provide them with the documents and information they need.
We email copies to you as well.
Once the carriers bring the W kayak across the border into Canada, they fax or email you the forms you need to fill in order to clear the W kayak through customs. You can clear the kayak at a local office of the Canada Borders Services Agency (CBSA) – No need to do it at the US border. There are over 1,000 local offices of the Canada Borders Services Agency (CBSA) across Canada, and you’d just have to find the one nearest to you (see list of locations), go there, and get your kayak cleared.
You won’t be required to use a customs broker for this matter.
Next, the CBSA will notify the carriers that your kayak has been cleared, and the carriers will call you to schedule its delivery to your address.
We ship each W kayak in an individual cardboard box, and all our shipments are insured.

Please call us at 1-781-806-5261, or email us if you have any question.
