In need of a kayak, you say...

Though we're working hard to get everyone in the Southeast hooked up with their very own kayak, the plain truth is that we're just not quite there yet. As such, we've worked it out with two of our very excellent sponsors to cover you on race day. 

Nature Adventures Outfitters
If you're new to this sort of thing, or perhaps find yourself looking for a more stable touring-style kayak, then give our friends at Nature Adventures Outfitters a shout to reserve your boat for race day. Out of Mt. Pleasant (and now Santee), Kathie and her excellent crew have been hauling their excellent fleet of Wilderness Systems kayaks up for the Winter Challenge for as long as we can remember.

​Epic Kayaks
For the more daring among you, longtime sponsor Epic Kayaks is bringing the heat. As my broham has so often pointed out... if you're gunning for a podium spot, then you'd better be paddling an Epic.
