User feedback like this... why we keep going

Every once in a while I get an email that reminds me exactly why we’re doing this.

I got one of those from Dustin in Missouri last month and I wanted to share it with you. I’m not going to add anything… I’ll just let you read it.

From Dustin (Missouri):

“Just wanted update my thoughts on your freedom launcher although weather not ideal here yet i wanted take it out now that freedom launcher was installed and give it a try. Id say that if anyone was on the fence to make the purchase especially for the heavier kyaks like the titan x like i was due to price do not hesitate it is definitly a game changer this trip was the first time i didnt pull all the way to waters edge to unload my kyak. I parked 150 feet away from ramp and from unloading to pushing it to and down ramp ive never had such an easy experience. Then after being on water for 3 hrs pulling it back up ramp and to my truck was just as easy. I only have a small tacoma with bed extender and the height with wheels deployed theres not much lifting to set on the extender. Just wanted say thanks for such a great product and one best things ive putchased in long time.”

That’s the kind of message that keeps us going.

On the Wilder Side front, we’re growing.

We’re in the process of onboarding two new team members to help us grow the business further in 2026 and beyond. This week has been all about getting offers accepted and starting onboarding. I’ll introduce the new team once we get a little further along and organized.

I’m also getting ready for a trip:

Visiting our very first dealer and dropping off a couple of units
Meeting with two customers
Shooting some videos
Testing a few new ideas

Here’s what the route looks like

One of those stops is with David Dear, who just picked up a FluxJet kayak. I’m planning to stop by, take a look… maybe even get a chance to use it

More on that later. But here are a couple of recent posts from David as he is getting acquainted with his new ride... I've enjoyed.. I think you might, too!

And a nice quick walkthrough...

I'm so grateful for the many customers who have turned into friends and volunteer staff for Wilder Side. Some of these customers have been invited to participate in a new program getting off the ground... the Freedom Launcher® Brand Ambassador program. We are inviting more folks who naturally promote the brand into the program. This is Mike from Louisiana with his Ambassador hoodie!
