History

OVER 40 YEARS OF HISTORY

We are pleased to launch the Elie line of kayaks for 2011. While the brand may be new, the line is built on a family legacy that dates back to 1968, the year our father’s company was founded. With Elie, we are bringing more than design and manufacturing expertise to the table – we bring entrepreneurial spirit, an insatiable desire for innovation and a passion for perfection. There are plenty of kayaks on the market, but we knew we’d have a winner if we designed one that gives you more of what you want – more performance, more comfort, more features and more durability – at a price that is within your budget.

If you want to get started with a boat you can grow into, or if you’re a paddler wanting to move up to a more fully-featured, capable craft without spending a fortune, Elie kayaks are perfect for you. Novice users will appreciate their stability and maneuverability while more advanced users can take advantage of performance design elements for enhanced speed and tracking

Experience the Elie difference. Paddle one of our kayaks, and you will see why we are proud to call it family.
