Maui Surf Co.<br />
Touring Whitewater Recreational<br />
If you are a <strong>kayak</strong>er forever on the<br />
lookout for versatile <strong>kayak</strong>ing footwear,<br />
Maui Surf Company has unveiled the<br />
Cirrus, a shoe that combines the sleekness<br />
and comfort of an athletic shoe and the<br />
Cascade Creek<br />
ventilation and draining ability of a water<br />
shoe. As you can imagine for a company<br />
based out of Hawaii, the shoe is best used<br />
in warm weather (60F and above). Which<br />
counts out the last six months here in the<br />
Pacific Northwest. Maybe a version with fur<br />
lining is next. www.mauisurfcompany.com<br />
Wild Coast<br />
This innovative little company from<br />
Huntington, New York, adds to its lineup<br />
in 2011 with the YakCatcher, a clip-on rod<br />
holder for <strong>kayak</strong>s and canoes. Part-time<br />
<strong>kayak</strong> fishermen and women will appreciate<br />
there are no holes to drill, no tools needed,<br />
it is fully adjustable and quick to install and<br />
remove. No need for stories now about the<br />
one that got away. www.cascadecreek.com.<br />
First released in 2005, The Wild Coast<br />
Vol. 1 set a new standard for <strong>kayak</strong>ing guide<br />
books for the British Columbia coast. It<br />
returns in 2011 with new and updated<br />
information in its second edition, mirroring<br />
the area covered by the new West Coast<br />
Vancouver Island North Marine Trail. It<br />
and an updated BC Coastal Recreation<br />
Atlas Vol. 1 will be released this spring.<br />
