Slide Santa Cruz Kayaks
Born in America, Made in America, Family Owned WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

About Us

Our Kayaks are roto-molded at a state of the art facility in Bellingham WA. Their decades of experience molding kayaks allows us to consistently reproduce great quality kayaks. We only use compounded polymers specifically formulated to provide the right amount of stiffness, UV resistance and durability. Qualities that will keep your kayak safe while on the water for decades to come. Being a very small company, we are capable of offering customized rigging options. All rigging is done in house to insure quality control before your kayak leaves our facility. Feel free to contact us via email anytime. We speak “kayak fishing” here.

Our kayaks are built for one purpose, to catch more fish without the balancing act.  Fast, unmatched stability and light weight, a great combination not found in any of our competitors models.  The Founder, Jim Martin has been fishing and diving the California coastal waters since 1975.  Spearfishing, abalone diving or just exploring the underwater world.   I wanted a kayak that suited the sort of conditions that I fish and dive in, so I had to build my own.   Friends wanted one, soon after, the Raptor was born.
