Based 15 minutes from the beach in Gardena, California, Cobra Kayaks got its start in watersports long before its moniker included the word kayak. Founder Warren Aitken earned his roto-molding chops making boards for the windsurfing craze 35 years ago. When the fad died, he turned his plastics expertise over to kayaks and hasn’t looked back, producing the Cobra’s flagship fishing kayaks, the Fish ‘N Dive, back in the early ‘90s a dozen years before most of us had put the words fish and kayak in the same sentence. Cobra Kayaks now ships kayaks worldwide from its U.S. and New Zealand factories but maintains


the feel of a small, family company with Warren and Glenys Aitken in the cockpit. Anglers appreciate Cobra’s kayaks’ value, quality, ruggedness and repairability. Every boat is warranteed for life. “We are known for excellent customer service and standing behind our product,” says Glenys. For 2009 Cobra introduces a new expedition-worthy fishing kayak, the Pro Fisherman.

Delta Kayaks deltakayaks.com


British Columbia–based Delta Kayaks brings a Northwest sensibility to its designs. This relative newcomer hit the water in 2005 with a 25-year head start in custom thermoforming. The company’s advanced manufacturing techniques allow for the use of high-impact, lightweight plastics, resulting in boats that are as beautiful to behold at as they are to use, true lookers flashing a gorgeous, high-gloss sheen. Until now known for dependable, high-volume sea kayaks boasting dry rides, the company will


break ground in spring 2009 with the launch of its first fishing model. The intriguing Catfish is a cat of another color. Delta’s Mark Hall calls it “the biggest thing in kayaking to hit the water in a while.” It’s a sit-on-top catamaran designed for stability, speed, and stealth. The twin hull makes it narrower and faster than a traditional sit-on-top, yet stable, with an optional hidden rudder between the hulls and a polycarbonate viewing port.—Paul Lebowitz
