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 Jackson Gnarvana is a creek boat that takes the favorite features of the top-selling Nirvana and adds a new level of performance. The high bow rocker, significant stern rocker and wider center point keep you high, dry and stable, and the float and rocker profile make it easy to maneuver.
Jackson Kayak designed it as its core creek boat for anyone looking to go downstream with confidence, from the hardest whitewater to a backyard run. It comes in three sizes.

I've always been a Jackson guy. I sat in tons of different boats and I can help always come back to Jackson. Love the bow rocker, and stern rocker. The Nirvana stern always caught on boney boofs. But this Gnarvana pops off boofs and skims like a dream. Love hard.
