It s the first angling kayak designed specifically for casting from a standing position. ~Crispin Battles, Editor, Fly Fish America
Freedom Hawk Kayaks born out of a passion for the outdoors. The idea is simple. To catch more fish, you need to stand. And to assist, Freedom Hawk s Kayaks were engineered as the most technically advanced fishing kayaks in the world. In short, they were designed to put you in position to catch more fish. Skinny-water sight fishing like never before. Finally you can stand and fish with confidence... This is no gimmick. ~ Jeff Kean, Casa Blanca Lodge, Mexico Three years ago, Dave Cameron, our founder, recognized the need for a better fishing craft, one that combined the comfort of a canoe with the agility and efficiency of a kayak. Combining his mechanical design background and a love for fishing and paddling, the idea behind Freedom Hawk Kayaks was cast. Now, with our invention of the patented in-line easy-to-deploy outrigger system and our addition of the Freedom 12 and the Freedom 12 Ultralight, we re providing anglers with more options than ever before. The journey to this point has been amazing, and we love the fact that through our efforts fishermen, hunters, photographers, and outdoor enthusiasts can better enjoy their dreams and hobbies Oh, yeah..and catch more fish. From that inspiration, Freedom Hawk and the Freedom 14 was born. A boat that can take you from paddling to stand-up fishing in seconds, the perfect union of stability and performance the Ultimate Fishing Kayak. Tight Lines and Happy Paddling!
