Nanuq Kayaks

A few days ago we suffered along with our wharf neighbors a catastrophic fire, which but for the amazing efforts of Portland Fire Department and others could have been a lot worse. The outpouring of offers of help, especially from our fellow kayers and the maritime community and friends has been nothing short of extraordinary. It makes me so proud.
At the moment we expect PFD will finish its work mid week and we'll be allowed back in to start the rebuilding process along with our landlord and others. But for perhaps 5 boats (a testament to the build quality of Rockpool) that seem salvagable, at least from first glance) pretty much everything else is gone.
So, at the moment while we proceed to repair and rebuild we are looking HARD for temporary quarters to, at the very least, use fo what will be a focused kayak repairs shop along with items for sale as that is what we can get up and running the fastest. We'd like to remain on the wharves if possible but will look at anything within reason. Our phones are down so we are working remotely. Use [email protected] if you see or hear of anything that you think might work. As I say, we are focused on rebuilding to stay on the Custom House Wharf but won't really have a sense of timing for some days to come. All of us on the wharf are working together so I expect a positive outcome at the end of the day. Thank you all for your warmth and love. I will do my best to earn it.

One door closes, another opens. We have decided due to tariff and shipping uncertainties to delay shipment and receipt of our new boats until sometime early next year. BUMMER! But, because of this, we have reopened the order period for custom new boats. If you are wanting a new boat in YOUR colors, contact us and we can arrange to get it done with delivery next Spring. Take advantage of this now before things get even more difficult.

We are considering updating our slogan and logo to better reflect what we are doing in Portland and the ocean. Here's a version of something we are considering. I wonder if you might share your reaction to it. Much edgier but does reflect our sort of hard core approach and what we sell. I don't want to say yet what I think but your collective feedback would be of enormous help. Thanks all.
