 | The year was 1971 and a freshly-out-of-college whitewater junkie named Tom Derrer was dreaming of getting out of his stuffy office cubicle and going on a wild kayak ride. As young college-age men can sometimes be – Tom got daring and designed his own!
After finding a fiberglass source and renting a kayak mold, Tom built himself one and soon found friends clamoring for him to build them one, as well. After a summer of continuous kayak building, Eddyline® was born. Deciding to move to Seattle and collaborate with a friend, Tom’s passion for building high-quality kayaks using superior technology, along with an inspiring ocean kayak trip, led him to begin making sea kayaks. After meeting the love of his life, Lisa, and starting a family with her, Tom endeavored to build family-style kayaks, able to hold 3 and 4 persons.
For over twenty years, the innovation has continued. Eddyline is a family company, committed to quality and to its consumer. Tom and Lisa design all of the kayaks and allow their customers’ passion for paddling to continually educate and inspire them.
If you love the outdoors - get out, get on the water, and be free – in an Eddyline kayak.
