Originally developed by the Inuit, kayak fishing has been a staple of Northern Natives' culture for the last 4000 years. In recent years, kayak fishing has been growing in popularity in western countries. With that growth in popularity, there have been needs that must be met by this growing movement. Many solutions can be found by looking back to the founders of this sport.

The Fjord Outrigger looks to solve two of the biggest issues at one time, stability and storage utility. With these increased capabilities Anglers will spend more time in nature, capable of taking longer and safer trips. The Fjord Outrigger looks to connect people back to the outdoors.
