Swell Watercraft

SWELLWATERCRAFT.COM

Swell Watercraft delivers innovative small boats for your big dreams. It started out as a conversation with Ocean Kayak founder Tim Niemier. Why were all the new kayaks getting wider and bigger? The man who combined the words Ocean and Kayak together back in 1971 wondered if the bulky new kayak designs could even handle the open ocean. 

It turned into a challenge. Take Niemier’s concept of a low-riding, self-bailing Scupper kayak and use it to push the boundaries of speed, comfort and stability. Initial prototypes proved our theories that lowering the cockpit would create an effortless stroke that didn’t hit your knees and allowed one to paddle comfortably and efficiently all day. 

It became a dream come true. The Scupper is appreciated by experts for it’s ability to handle various conditions. It glides through wind. Pounds through surf. Soars over waves. It’s also an amazing kayak for beginners. It provides an intuitive, natural stroke with advanced ergonomics.   

The success of the Scupper is a result of taking a Paddler First approach to building a product. Swell Watercraft is paddler-owned and Operated. Our pledge to you is to keep you, the paddler, top of mind continually while we work. Committed 4 Life.
