It’s 2024 – Time For Kayak Maintenance

Morag Stevenson

Another year and another kayak season will be here before you know it. Don’t forget to give your kayak some TLC before you hit the water in the spring. Check those grab loops. Do your decklines need tightened? Do they need slackened? Do they need replaced? Is your PFD old and worn? Does your kayak have any leaks? And what about your body? It’s an ideal time to do some gentle exercise in preparation for those warmer days!
