Kayak KosyThe Kayak Kosy
Retail $399 + tax
Show Special $349 taxes included
The Kayak Kosy was designed and built in Nova Scotia by Bear River Plastics Welding to allow easy access in and out of a canoe or kayak from your dock. It is completely adjustable to fit most floating and stationary docks.
After 2 years of onsite testing, feedback for this design has been positive. All DOGS give this design two paws up for easy access in and out of the water. WAKE BOARDERS and WATER SKIERS have found this design to give them an easier and safer entry point to the water. People suffering from muscle and joint pain prefer this to a ladder.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
