Umiak Outdoor Outfitters, established in 1991, has been a leading provider of kayaking, canoeing, and standup paddleboarding experiences. Through sales, tours, rentals, and lessons, Umiak has introduced people of all ages to these water sports. In 2005, the acquisition of Outdoor Recreational Supply (ORS) which was established in 1975, expanded our offerings, allowing us to provide bulk purchases at discounted rates to camps, schools, non-profits, government groups, etc., further promoting accessibility to outdoor activities.

When purchasing a watercraft, several important factors should be taken into consideration, such as cost, material, weight, type of use, and size requirements. Each material has its pros and cons depending on the intended purpose of the watercraft. Once the material is determined, the size and shape of the watercraft should be chosen based on the type of use, whether it's flatwater, whitewater, day paddling, tripping, etc. The knowledgeable staff at Umiak Outdoor Outfitters, with their extensive paddling experience, will provide you with the necessary information and guidance to ensure you make the best selection that meets your specific needs. 

Please note that there are minimum order requirements and shipping restrictions on orders placed.
