 Based 15 minutes from the beach in Gardena, California, Cobra Kayaks got its start in watersports long before its moniker included the word kayak. Founder Warren Aitken earned his roto-molding chops making boards for the windsurfing craze 35 years ago. When the fad died, he turned his plastics expertise over to kayaks and hasn’t looked back, producing the Cobra’s flagship fishing kayaks, the Fish ‘N Dive, back in the early ‘90s a dozen years before most of us had put the words fish and kayak in the same sentence.
Cobra Kayaks now ships kayaks worldwide from its U.S. and new Zealand factories but maintains the feel of a small, family company with Warren and Glenys Aitken in the cockpit. Anglers appreciate Cobra’s Kayaks’ value, quality, ruggedness and reparability. Every boat is warranted for life. “We are known for excellent customer service and standing behind our product,” says Glenys. For 2009 Cobra introduces a new expedition-worthy fishing kayak, the pro fisherman.

 The Escape is the perfect sit on top kayak to throw in the water at a moment’s notice for a paddle, a float, a quick fishing trip, or a sunset. Perfect for women, children, and average size men; the Escape measures a mere 10’ 5” in length, 31” wide, and weighs an unbelievably low 34 lbs; yet still has a 240lb capacity.

 Designed as a performance sit-on-top touring kayak, the Cobra Tourer is slightly more forgiving than the Cobra Expedition. This boat is designed for the athletically inclined paddler who wants to go from Point A to Point B with maximum efficiency and speed.

 This is the first ever sit-on-top that is big, sturdy and stable enough to accommodate three adults paddling simultaneously as well as ample supplies of heavy diving and long range fishing gear. The Cobra Triple answers a request from coed Adventure Teams for a kayak that allows them to combine all their power into one boat. (Cobra Kayaks was invited to be the official supplier for the first ever Fogdog 24-Hour Adventure Race held in Southern, California). The versatility of the Cobra Triple is not lost on parents who want to share their paddling experience with their children. And there is even room for the family dog!
