When Will Kayaks Be Available Again?

When will kayaks be available again? That’s the question that has been on everyone’s mind lately. A few outdoor stores, such as Dick’s Sporting Goods in Cherry Hill, have reported a shortage of kayaks, and that may be partly to blame. While the largest sporting goods retailer in the country is in Pittsburgh, it doesn’t always have enough kayaks to meet demand. Fortunately, the shortage isn’t as widespread as you might think. pedal kayaks fishing

Since the coronavirus hit the U.S., many kayak factories shut down and didn’t fully reopen. While some kayak factories did reopen, others are not as fast as they were before. This heightened demand is adding to the kayak shortage. In addition, many kayaks are now made of composite materials, which means they’ll be more expensive, which further adds to the price. The demand for kayaks, however, is more than double what they were just a few months ago. Despite the shortage, most people starting out in kayaking are looking for mid-range models.

Even in places like Boating in D.C., the demand for kayaks is expected to increase. While many kayak shops don’t plan to sell used equipment during the season, others anticipate a resurgence of interest in watersports in the 2020s. Currently, Paddlestroke SUP in D.C. is awaiting backorders for kids-size PFDs and helmets. While it’s difficult to predict when kayaks will be available again, local companies are assessing their stock each day to meet the demand.

Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the demand for kayaks has risen. As a result, stores have almost no inventory of kayaks. The coronavirus pandemic and supply chain issues are contributing to the shortage. While this means that kayaks are not available in retail outlets, the increased demand will continue to drive prices up, reducing prices for those who need them the most. If you’re planning to buy a kayak, now is the time to act.
