IS AN INFLATABLE KAYAK SUSTAINABLE?

It's no secret the materials used in inflatable products are perhaps not the most environmentally friendly, but used correctly, and built to last, there can be a sustainable solution.

At Aquaglide, we build products that are designed to get folks outside in nature. To say outdoor spaces are at the core of everything we do is an understatement.

By doing so, we hope to inspire others within our community to become advocates for our natural spaces along the way.
