Review of the Caribbean (formerly Calypso) in Kayak Angler Magazine

eddyline — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 21:26:08 +0000

Forty five pounds of lightweight fish catcher. At Kayak Angler we love little more than boat news, so we were delighted to get this surprise bulletin from Eddyline. They’ve launched a new fishing-friendly sit-on-top, the 12-foot long Caribbean. Someone’s thinking of palm trees, silky coral sand and azure water.

Like every other kayak built by the Burlington, Washington company, the Caribbean is thermoformed from Carbonlite plastic laminate. The result is a boat that matches fiberglass for looks – with the toughness of plastic. They also weigh very little compared to rotomolded polyethylene boats. The Caribbean weighs in at a back friendly 45 pounds. Like anything else, featherweight comes at a premium. The Caribbean’s MSRP is $1279.

The fishing eyeball test reveals a flip-forward bow hatch, console space for a fish finder or other electronics plus a forward rod holder, and the traditional pair behind the cockpit. A cockpit track system shows Eddyline is staying up with the times. It’s the kind of extra that marks modern fishing outfitting. The tankwell is molded for a crate or 5-gallon bucket; an optional stern hatch cover is available. Pairs of small round hatches and paddle parks round out the feature set. At 12 feet long and 30 inches wide, with gracefully upswept ends and four scuppers, the Caribbean looks like a versatile ride comfortable in freshwater and salt.

Introducing the New Eddyline Calypso Sit on Top Kayak

kendavenport — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 06:57:56 +0000

Eddyline is proud to announce the release of our new Calypso Sit on Top. At 12 feet in length with a 30 inch beam, the Calypso stability is extraordinary, yet the highly efficient Eddyline hull design and our smooth Carbonlite material lets her glide through the water with ease. Tracking is exceptional for a twelve footer, making travel over distance much easier. Easy turns are accomplished with a slight lean and sweep. Eddyline applied the principals of the unique Gull Wing configuration on the Calypso hull to retain efficiency and excellent tracking while maximizing stability. The extra sitting height produced by this configuration allows more comfortable seating while helping the cockpit and tank well to drain effectively.

Eddyline’s New Calypso Sit on Top is finally becoming a reality. We are making the mold and should be ready to ship kayaks in November! This picture is a graphic rendering with some of the fishing options. 12ft long – 30″ wide – 45lbs – $1279

Lots of options – lots of stability – lots of performance in the water!

Andy Bugh’s Expedition in the Shasta – update

eddyline — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 21:44:01 +0000

I just paddled across Ft. Peck Lake, over 130 miles, with waves over three feet and rolling over the Shasta at times. The boat and custom spray skirt functions outstandingly! I was able to keep up with two paddlers traveling with much less gear in a canoe and they are twenty years younger than me. This boat really handles the big water well. I want some bigger waves now! I decided to name my boat the Wave Rider. Thanks Eddyline!!! See more about my trip at

Eddyline’s Brand New Kayak – The Sky 10

kendavenport — Thu, 12 May 2011 05:30:17 +0000

The Sky 10 kayak came into existence due to the popularity of our well liked Skylark and the ever increasing demand for smaller, lighter boats. This kayak carries most of the paddling qualities and features of its 12 foot sister but sports a good 5-6 lbs less weight, making car-topping and general handling that much easier.

Samba Review Sea Kayak Magazine

eddyline — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 19:32:58 +0000

Comments from Sea Kayaker Magazine Review: “A stable but lively boat for small to medium paddlers, the Samba is a fun kayak that maneuvers well and can provide safe passage in wind, keep up in group paddles, and provide an easy car top due to its light weight.”

“Surprisingly quick. It has an easy cruising pace of four knots! And this in a kayak under 14 feet long! Now smaller paddlers can paddle a kayak that fits and can keep up with the longer boats.” read more – Samba review sea kayaker Jan 2011

New Swift High Angle Blade

eddyline — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 15:59:16 +0000

This newly designed blade is specifically customized to suit the paddler who prefers a high angle performance paddle. It retains all the power and thrust and smooth follow through of the original Sea Swift only with a high angle of attack. Typically these paddles are preferred to be 5-10 CM shorter in length than a low angle blade.
