Work Hard, Play Hard

Check out our Boat Covers

When we're working, we are designing and sewing gear to be used on the river. When we're playing, we're on the river, driving teenagers around, riding motorcycles, belly dancing, trying to keep our cars running or taking care of our pets....OK, so boating and making equipment is not the only thing we do, but it IS what we do very, very well.

Rescue Equipment

One of our specialties is creating rescue equipment. Prepare yourself for emergencies with our Rescue Throw Bags. This is our Reverse Taper bag. The top is extra wide for accurate throwing and rapid payout. A quick release buckle can be snapped to the boat without a carabiner. Our bags stuff quickly and come in a full range of sizes.
