It lands on your doorstep like any other package. We email tracking the day it leaves our shop.
Order gear on the same order as a kayak we're hand delivering or shipping, and it comes with the kayak.
Kayak Shipments
We deliver kayaks two ways. Inside our delivery area, we bring your boat to you ourselves. Everywhere else, it ships LTL freight with a carrier that reports a 99.9% damage-free delivery rate. We'll tell you which one you're getting once your order is placed along with more details.
If we hand deliver it
Nothing to inspect, nothing to sign at the curb. We're the ones unloading your kayak, so if anything is wrong, tell us right there and we'll take care of it. We will call before hand for a meetup place.
If it ships LTL freight
Look the boat over before you sign the delivery receipt. If you see damage, write it on the receipt. That one step is what protects your claim. Then email clear photos to helpdesk@cfoutdoors.com within 2 hours of delivery. We also will email you more details on this process once the order is placed.
What we cover
Structural damage. Anything that compromises the hull or would void the manufacturer's warranty, confirmed with the vendor. We make it right.
Cosmetic damage. Light scratches or minor surface dents that don't affect performance or structure. We send a repair kit when one is available. If you'd rather have a replacement, a 20% restocking fee applies plus full shipping back to us.

The Aqua Bound Torq 4-Piece Versa-Lok Straight Shaft Kayak Paddle is a whitewater kayak paddle built for versatility, from precise technical moves to long stretches of whitewater. It pairs compression-molded fiberglass blades with a stiff, lightweight carbon shaft, and Aqua Bound's Lam-Lok edge protection reinforces the blades against impact and abrasion.
The fiberglass blades deliver powerful strokes and precise control in technical whitewater. Controlled blade flex helps ease shoulder strain through demanding rapids and long days of paddling, and the blade design balances responsive maneuvering with efficiency over longer stretches.
Aqua Bound designed the 4-piece Torq with packrafting in mind. It packs compactly for packrafting, travel and remote adventures, and the Versa-Lok center connection gives a secure fit with 5 cm of length adjustment and infinite feather angles. Aqua Bound builds every Torq to order at its factory in Osceola, Wisconsin, USA, and backs it with a 2-year manufacturing warranty.
