How To Attach 2 Fishing Kayaks On Top Of A Car

This photo shows how easy it is to attach 2 W500 fishing kayaks on top of a car: There’s no need for special kayak racks, or any other accessory.

Sailing The W500 Kayak With Outriggers

Our cooperation with Jim Luckett, from SailBoatsToGo, yielded new, off-the-shelf kits for sailing the W500 kayak.

They turn the W500 into a stable, swift, easy to use, versatile and portable sailing craft for 1-2 persons.
