Kayaking

For The Love of Kayaking!

When I am not busy running Start To Finish Supplies I can often be found in my kayak. My favorite past time is kayaking. I have decided to honor my favorite past time by showcasing some of the coolest kayak related items from Etsy.

Have a look, you may catch the fever too!

The first kayak related item on etsy that caught my eye was this wonderful print. I love how the artist has caught the character of the "Kayak Girl". I feel like I know this girl!

At the moment I have two stickers on my kayak. One is a faded flower sticker and one is a Phish sticker. I think another one is needed. Maybe a dragonfly!

"Fun decal made of premium, all-weather vinyl. For kayaks, canoes, paddles, surfboards, water bottles, helmets, windows, or for whatever floats your boat!" Kayak Decals by NKanner.

This next photo reminds me of a the look and feel of the water off Emerald Isle, NC. It is a serene photograph that makes me want to jump in my kayak and leave everything behind.
