Necky Kayaks™
Necky Kayaks have a wide range of kayaks to fit most paddlers needs and size. We have been paddling Necky Kayaks for over fifteen years. Necky Kayaks makes high quality, light weight kayaks in both plastic and composite materials. New this year is Necky Advanced Composite Construction. Stronger and lighter then Kevlar. While we can get all models of Necky Kayaks, below are a few models we try to keep in stock. Many of these Necky Kayaks are also available for use on tours, instructional programs and for rentals at the Paddlesport Center on the Hudson River in New York.
