Chub

We collaborated on the original Chub with Mike Dehoff of Eddyline Welding in Moab. Our version is a bit different.  She has front and stern seats and can comfortably carry three passengers—four in a pinch. Unless you are planning to run commercial loads, we don’t recommend getting a boat any bigger than this.

Fretwater Buxom Line

In the last half-century kayaks, surfboards, and skis have all grown dramatically shorter and broader proportionately, and they perform far better that their predecessors. In 2019 we decided it was far past time to try this with the classic Briggs lines. The results have been amazing, with the newer designs being far more stable, maneuverable, spacious, and severely fun to row. We have striven to preserve Jerry Briggs’s gorgeous and functional lines while adapting them to more modern sensibilities. From the 6’6” Tardigrade to the 15’ 4” Babe, our pleasingly plump dories are guaranteed to show you the time of your life.
