The What and the Why
Floating Kayaks is an independent kayaking resource covering gear reviews, buying guides, and practical how-to advice for paddlers of all levels. Whether you’re buying your first kayak, planning a fishing trip, or trying to figure out how to store your kayak in a small apartment, this is the place to find straightforward, honest information.
The site was started in 2020 by Randy, a keen kayaker and angler who wanted to help fellow enthusiasts find the right gear for their needs. We’ve continued that mission ever since.
The Who
Hi, I’m the current editor of Floating Kayaks, based in Australia. I’m not a professional kayaker — I’m someone who has kayaked on holidays, loves being on the water, and got genuinely absorbed in the world of kayaking gear and advice. That perspective shapes everything on this site. We write for people who want clear, practical information without the jargon.
What You’ll Find Here
Floating Kayaks covers everything from beginner guides and safety advice to in-depth gear reviews across fishing kayaks, inflatable kayaks, paddles, PFDs, and accessories. We test and research products carefully so you don’t have to spend hours doing it yourself.
