Best Cyber Monday kayak deals

Every year, the Cyber Monday deals change daily and, in some cases, by the hour. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite deals below, but keep your eyes peeled for even more great deals to come this holiday shopping season.

How to choose a kayak during Cyber Monday

This might seem obvious, but the first step before buying any new kayaking gear on Cyber Monday is to take stock of what you already have. If you’re a newbie, it’s simple: You probably need all the essentials before hitting the water. Think about the obvious, like the kayak itself, the paddles, and a PFD. Consider other important accessories like a roof-mounted kayak rack for your car, a waterproof storage box for your personal effects, a wide-brimmed hat, and a long-sleeved sun shirt to protect your skin.

It might be worth it to start small with a wide, entry-level kayak that’s ultra-stable and designed for beginners. Once you’re more confident on the water, consider upgrading to a longer, narrow kayak built for speed and better tracking. Wilderness Systems offer affordable, entry-level kayaks that are perfect for amateurs. If portability is a factor, consider an inflatable kayak from Intex or a foldable alternative like the origami-inspired Oru Inlet.

Avid kayakers may already have most, if not all, of the gear they need. But, perhaps it’s time for an upgrade. Maybe you want to add fishing gear to your kayak setup to make things a little more interesting? Maybe your significant other is newly interested in kayaking, so this Cyber Monday could be ideal for shopping tandem kayaks. If you really want to step up your game, check out some of the more advanced touring kayaks from brands like Eddyline and Stellar. They’re pricey, but you’re worth it, and there’s no better time to buy than right now.

Where to find the best kayak sales

Like most years, the best Cyber Monday deals will be found online. Of course, shopping from home makes even more sense in the time of COVID. So, make a plan not to leave the house, sit in your favorite lounge pants, and shop some truly amazing deals at these retailers from the comfort of home:

  • Amazon Amazon’s annual Cyber Monday deals are some of the best anywhere. You may not need to look anywhere else to stock your kayaking gear closet this year, as we’re expecting kayak deals of as much as 40% off. In many cases, Amazon Prime members score free delivery to boot.
  • Moosejaw We’re expecting deep discounts of up to 30% or more on the best outdoor gear brands, including Arc’teryx, Mountain Hardwear, Smartwool, and more.

Uncompromising: Ball and Buck’s collaborations with bestselling author Jack Carr are what outdoor retail dreams are made of
Jack Carr

The steam was how I knew it was done. Making food over an open flame feels different than making it on the stove at home. There is a feeling of ancient skill, an ability to survive on very little. You have dispensed with the comfort of the modern world and taken yourself back to the way ancient man made their food over a flame with wood gathered from the forest and minimal ingredients. At least, that is how it feels until I use my modern multitool to flip the steak on the cast iron skillet I placed over the fire I made with a modern lighter. Look, I am all about remembering who we used to be, but that doesn’t mean I want to dispense with ALL the comfort or the tools of today. Camping is one of the last activities of the modern family where you can leave all screens behind. And when I hit the woods, I like to go all out with something that will last me. Quality. Ruggedness. Dependability. Things that keep me taken care of. That is why I love Ball and Buck.

Something else I like to do when I go out there is read. Sure, it could be anything from a military memoir to instructions on how to make a steak in a cast iron skillet over an open flame, which may or may not be more done than it should be. But recently, it has been Jack Carr. The Fourth Option hit the shelves this summer, and it was one of the best books of the year. I love his work, so imagine my surprise when I discovered that he has an entire collection with Ball and Buck.

I tried the Yozma IN 10 Pro electric dirt bike, and it was nothing like riding an e-bike

I’ve spent plenty of time riding e-bikes, but I’d never ridden an electric dirt bike before. When I had the opportunity to try the Yozma IN 10 Pro, I was curious to see how the two would compare. As it turns out, they’re completely different experiences. The IN 10 Pro is fast, surprisingly loud, and considerably more powerful than anything I’d ridden before.

I didn’t push the bike anywhere near its advertised top speed of 50 mph, and I didn’t need to. Even at lower speeds, riding the IN 10 Pro was a lot of fun. Between the powerful acceleration, responsive steering, and the way it handled gravel and dirt, there was plenty to enjoy. And despite all that power, the ride was surprisingly comfortable, even over uneven ground. It didn’t take long for me to understand why people love riding dirt bikes.

Arc’teryx x BEAMS: The blend of Alpine tech and Tokyo style
Arc'teryx x Beams

The new Arc’teryx x BEAMS collection celebrates the brands’ 25-year collaboration and the blending of technical function with street-savvy style. The line highlights a re-creation of the 1998 Arc’teryx Theta hardshell, a Gamma softshell jacket, and Jogen bouldering pants. All come in the signature Kōyō color palette, modeled after Japan’s autumn leaves. 

I wore the Gamma Jacket and Jogen pants during the fall changeover in Virginia’s picturesque Shenandoah Valley, testing for warmth, wind resistance, and style. Here’s my take.
