You’re an avid fisherman, getting your first cast in before the sun starts its day. 
Or maybe you’re an adventurer/explorer extraordinaire, mapping out every 
corner of every body of water the globe has to offer. Perhaps you’re a fitness 
nut looking for new exciting ways to improve your physique. Whatever the 
reason, you’re a seafarer, and the kayak is the ideal vessel for you.

Since 1999, Malibu Kayaks has designed high-quality, affordable kayaks for 
hardcore enthusiasts and curious parties alike. Recreational paddlers love our 
kayaks, anglers swear by our angler kayaks, and fitness experts enjoy riding 
the waves on a Malibu Kayaks surf ski. For over a decade we’ve created kayaks 
based on what’s important to the kayaker. It’s been that way since our humble 
beginnings.
