​Our Goal:   Push beyond   “What Is”   to create a totally new
 Sea Kayaking Experience

How?
​
Game changing designs for new kayaks that encompass the needs of every Kayaker according to their body type,size and desired paddling conditions.  Designed for comfort and a personal fit = great days on the water. 

Build a stable kayak that has new and exciting ease of function, 
​a kayak controlled by the kayaker, instead of the kayak limiting and controlling your performance.
Each model is suited for a paddle in the Sunset or rough conditions.  
You will love these kayaks as a beginner, but you will not surpass the level of paddling that your Sterling Kayak can deliver.  A personal quality of paddling and skill level decision.

Research and employ new materials and construction methods to make the lightest and strongest kayaks available.  A Kayak that can be maintained and enjoyed – a lifetime purchase.

Bonus – the design and strength deliver additional safety.  A Kayak that is easy to load, unload, carry to the water.  A Kayak that paddles with ease for less wear and tear on your body.  Allows more years of enjoyable paddling.

Mode of Operation:
Kayak design and quality is Passion for Sterling:

Create the best possible Kayaks through advanced design, advanced lay-up design and innovative materials 
Offer custom design finished and custom fitting
Choose materials and design based on quality 
-no compromise to satisfy a price point.

The World Class Paddlers of the Pacific Northwest have been our test paddlers, sharing their insights for design improvements. Sterling brings this together with his gift for making design ideas into a working characteristic of the kayak.  

We build a prototype--go thorugh extensive test paddling - then refine the prototype - retest- refine- not stopping until we have reached our design goals
.
This has created a totally unique opportunity to bring an unequalled level of exellence to our designs.

Any day of the week you will find Sterling in his shop enjoying the beauty of the current build he is working on.  A great day for him includes talking to a satisfied customer and hearing about the performance and quality they are discovering in their Sterling Kayak.
Sterling and Many World Class Paddlers have spent over 10 years developing these designs. ​

We Call It
