ABOUT WILDER SIDE

We found our first customer at Canoecopia 2022 in Madison Wisconsin. Since then, we have fit up and sold Freedom Launchers® to over 45 kayak models across 15 kayak brands. We have received amazingly positive customer feedback. Kayaks as heavy as a fully loaded Hobie Pro Angler 14 and as light as the Native Propel 10 LTE. Customers call me after a time or two to tell me they love their Freedom Launcher because the wheels easily go up or down and the vertical legs carry more weight, making maneuvering so much easier. And customers think it looks cool, too!
Will you be next?

After all these years, I'm still trying to get back to the wilder side.
