Why purchase a Freedom Launcher??

 

Our customers told us:  tired of wrestling with your heavy kayak - lifting it up onto your portable wheels in the parking lot or boat launch, then having the kayak slide off their cart.   Or their landing gear require twisting your shoulder in uncomfortable positions to retract or deploy.

 

 If this sounds like you, the Freedom Launcher® takes much of the pain and hassle out of your watercraft launching process! It is a revolutionary and patented design (U.S. Pat. No. 12,006,009) of retractable wheels for kayaks and canoes that neatly fold up parallel to the side of your watercraft. Simply push the release lever and guide the wheels to the extended or retracted position. No fiddling with locking pins as they are built into the system. Watercraft stays upright during the launching process. No need to remove gear from watercraft at water’s edge.

 

The Hobie® brand and trademark is used strictly for customer purposes to enable current Hobie owners to find suitable gear from our website.  Use of the Hobie brand does not constitute an endorsement or relationship between Wilder Side and Hobie.
