WakaWai is a production of our passion.  We love paddlesports, we are enthusiastic about the lifestyle.  Bringing gear to you is not just something we do but something that we are excited about.
 
We believe in working to live and not living to work.  In our first business venture 10 years ago, we found ourselves doing the opposite, so needless to say we sold it.  From that venture, we decided it is important to maintain our quality of life.  Every decision we have made since then is chosen to exemplify our lifestyle.
 
My wife, Greyson and I have lived in various places in Western North Carolina and a short stay in Jackson, WY.  After logging over 17 combined years of paddling some kind of water craft, abroad and in the states, we are proud to call Asheville, NC home.

Our Commitment @ WakaWai.
  • To provide premium paddlesports gear at reasonable prices without hassles and hype.
  • To provide the absolute best customer service possible.
  • To maintain the highest quality standards for our products represented.
  • To Renew, Reuse and Recycle every chance we get.

We chose Asheville for its accesability to over 100 whitewater runs and the abundance of lakes all within a couple hours drive of the city centre.  Not to mention the good music flowing constantly through the area and excellent beer choices at your finger tips!

We also appreciate the opportunities here in Asheville, the US and globally, to include alternative resources into WakaWai, such as biodiesel, organic fabrics, sustainable forestry practices and recyclable plastics, which we feel is absolutely important in this day and age.

Happily situated with our beautiful daughter, 3 dogs and 2 cats, our quality of life is at its highest.  We look forward to out next trip to the river, wherever it may be.  We hope we have the opportunity to meet you there.

 

Good Lines!
