Damage Free Guarantee

At Caney Fork Outdoors, we work with top-tier freight carriers across the country to ensure your kayak arrives quickly, safely, and ready for the water.

We’ve also partnered with a white-glove delivery service designed to greatly reduce the risk of shipping damage. Because of this enhanced delivery process, you will no longer be required to sign and physically inspect your kayak at delivery. This carrier maintains an exceptional 99.97% damage-free delivery rate, giving you added peace of mind from warehouse to doorstep.

In the rare event that damage does occur, Caney Fork Outdoors will take care of the issue as long as it is reported within 2 hours of delivery and clear photos are submitted via email. If the damage is cosmetic (such as light scratches or minor surface dents) and does not affect performance or structure, we will provide a repair kit when applicable. If you prefer a replacement for cosmetic issues, a 20% restocking fee may apply.

For clarity, “damage” refers to any condition that compromises the structural integrity of the kayak hull or would void the manufacturer’s warranty as confirmed with the vendor.

The Angler Navigator Versa-Lok brings old-school Bending Branches craftsmanship into a beefed-up build made for the modern kayak angler, with an adjustable-length Versa-Lok ferrule built in. The wood blades are prized for their durability and quiet entry and exit, and the dense, dark woods used hold their form well over time.

Wood gives you one of the most forgiving forward strokes you'll find in a paddle. The natural buoyancy springs the blade out of the water, and the wood soaks up the rigors of the river or lake for a smoother, more enjoyable stroke than composite or plastic blades. Each blade is wrapped with Rockgard tip protection and coated in fiberglass to seal in the wood and guard against long-term wear.

The 100% carbon shaft is the lightest material available, so long days on the water are less fatiguing, and it's ovalized where your hands sit for better comfort and control. Versa-Lok gives you 15cm of additional length and infinite feathering, plus a 40-inch tape measure printed on the shaft so you can check your catch on the spot. Proudly hand built in Osceola, Wisconsin.

Key Features

  • The wood blades on the Angler Navigator are known for their durability and quietness. The dense, dark woods selected hold their form and stay intact, and there's not a quieter entry and exit than these blades
  • Wooden blades provide one of the easiest, most forgiving forward strokes in paddles. The natural buoyancy springs the paddle out of the water and the wood absorbs the rigors of the river or lake, providing an enjoyable paddling experience. Compared to composite or plastic blades, wood blades are more flexible
  • The blades are wrapped with Rockgard tip protection and coated with 2 oz. fiberglass, both sealing in the wood and protecting it from abuse and long-term wear
  • 105 sq. inch blade is the ideal size for horsepower and control with heavily loaded fishing kayaks. It's slightly bigger than some fishing paddles, but the larger size means it can handle trickier conditions and more weight
  • 100% carbon shaft is the lightest material available, so paddling is less fatiguing and more enjoyable on longer trips. The carbon weave is tight and secure, making it one of the strongest options available
  • The shaft is ovalized where the hands go for more comfort and control, and to limit the chances for blisters
  • Versa-Lok offers 15cm of additional length and infinite feathering options, with a system that's secure, holds its form long-term, and resists corrosion
  • Versa-Lok offers longer sizes than the previous generation of paddles, making it ideal for wider or bigger kayaks and a higher seat position
  • The Versa-Lok clamping system is backed by structural and cyclical testing, plus a decade of on-water use
  • Carbon ferrule insert is light, tight, and built for the long haul, a sizable upgrade over plastic or glass ferrule inserts
  • 40-inch tape measure on shaft is a sizing guide, allowing you to verify catches on the spot
  • Proudly hand built in Osceola, Wisconsin, USA, by a team of paddlers and outdoor enthusiasts
