Anyone ever ship a kayak? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Austin kayak shipped kayak purchases for a while. They appear to have stopped, perhaps because sales tax is now applied to online out-of-state purchases (started in 2021 for Florida). Nautical Ventures tried shipping kayaks but stopped due to the high amount of damage claims. Let us know if you find a good way to ship kayaks.

Might be a long shot, but SEA is a doable drive from SoCal if you make a few stops on the way. If that was even remotely an option for you, it might be worth packing some camping gear, scooping a kayak in SoCal, and hitting a few spots on the way back North! I know there's a lot more to it than that, but unfortunately, the way things are going with inventory and distribution right now, that might be the "easier" option. Hope you get what you're looking for soon!
