Yakgear Yaksack

Hoodoo Kayaks are extremely stable and self bailing. However, it is impossible to guarantee that you or your gear won’t at least get a little wet while out on the water. That’s why we recommend the Yakgear Yaksack. Protect your phone and other valuables that cannot get wet or lost in the drink. The Yaksack is able to be mounted to any rail system smaller than 2 inches. There are two mesh pockets on either side for gear you need to keep more accessible.  There is also large water resistant zipper on top to keep your phone, keys and other gear dry.

Kayak Accessories and Equipment

Add some fun and functionality to his kayak with accessories like a kayak light, fishing rod holder, or paddle leash. These are all great accessories for kayakers. Here are our favorites!

Yakattack Track Combo Kit

The stackable storage boxes quickly and securely snap onto the base and onto each other. You have access to either box even while they are stacked. Since they are stacked they take up less track space.
