About Us

This inflatable kayak guide is put together by the folks at Blue Ridge Outing Co.

We've been in the rafting business for over 17 years. Here's our rafting web site....

During that time we've used over 100 inflatable kayaks from over ten manufacturers. In addition, we've owned whitewater rafts from other manufacturers.

Some of the inflatable manufacturers/brands we've dealt with over the year are Sevylor, Aire, Sea Eagle, Riken, Momemtum, Custom Inflatables, Hyside, Northwest River Supply, Avon, Campways, Star, Incept, and Maravia.

We learned about inflatables from the school of hard knocks. In our early years we had lower end boats and used boats. Since the mid 1990's, we've used top of the line commercial boats.

We seen and used a lot of inflatable kayaks in a variey of conditions and in a variety of situations. We probably haven't seen it all, but we've seen a lot with inflatable kayaks. There's been good, bad and ugly.

With this site, we'll try to help you find the good and avoid the bad and ugly.

We love our inflatable kayaks. More importantly, our customers love our inflatable kayaks. They are a great solution for many people.
