Paddling Tip: Meet Your New Best Friend — Pogies!

Cold hands can take the fun out of a beautiful day on the water. Enter **pogies!** 🙌

Pogies are insulated covers that attach right to your paddle shaft, creating a warm, cozy pocket for your hands while you paddle. And one of our favourite ways to use them? **Over top of thin gloves.**

Gloves = friction resistance
Pogies = wind, rain & splash protection
Together = happy hands and longer paddles!

Because your hands stay inside the pogies while you hold the paddle, you get excellent grip and control without constantly exposing your hands to the elements.

They’re a simple little piece of gear that can make a **BIG difference** on chilly days. If you’re planning to extend your paddling season, pogies are definitely worth trying!

Who else loves their pogies?

📢 A QUICK NOTE FROM COMOX VALLEY KAYAKS
After a very busy summer we’ll be taking a little break and will be CLOSED from September 19th–30th.

But don’t worry our online store will remain open 24/7, so you can still browse and shop from home! We will fill your orders and can arrange pickup if you're local.
Shop our online store https://www.cvkayaks.com/online-store
If you’ve been thinking about stopping by to look around, check out our kayaks, or ask us some questions, make sure to visit us before September 19th!

MOMAR (mind over mountain adventure race) marks the end of our season with a splash. We support 45 MOMAR teams with kayaks and paddles at Comox Lake on September 19th.

We value the trust that our local clients and visitors have in our business, and we are thrilled to provide rentals, lessons, tours, online and retail sales for all your paddling needs and desires at the times that you need us.
As a small business that goes full-out for several consecutive months, enjoying the fun atmosphere in our work, we also respect the need for our staff to fully recharge in September.
Thanks for your understanding and continued support. We’ll see you back in the shop on October 1st! 💙

Last night was a great evening of learning at Comox Valley Kayaks with Sarah Rosen.

Sarah comes from a family lineage of kayak guides and a background in oceanography. She brought a wonderful blend of experience and knowledge to the evening. We explored marine weather, wind, clouds and marine charts. Sarah taught everyone how to build a better understanding of what they are seeing out on the water and in the sky.

A big thank you to Sarah for sharing her knowledge and making the subject so accessible!

Our next Ocean Theory session is Thursday the 17th, on the topics of tides and we still have a few spots available.

Come join us and deepen your understanding of the marine environment, it’s knowledge that can make every paddle more informed, confident and enjoyable.

Lunch break? More like kayak break!

Jess took the Pyranha ReactR out for a quick demo and, well… we’re pretty sure this is the best way to spend a lunch break.

The ReactR is seriously fun to paddle, with a hull designed around a perfectly positioned pivot point and planing surfaces that let you move between them with ease. The result? Effortless pivots, quick direction changes, and a boat that makes finding your line feel ridiculously fun.

Jess’s verdict: this thing pivots with NO effort.

Want to see what the ReactR can do? Come try our demo boat and find out for yourself! https://www.cvkayaks.com/online-store/Pyranha-Available-for-Demo-ReactR-Large-Elite-Lava-Blast-p811234526
