BALANCE SOLUTIONS
Mission Statement
At Balance Solutions our mission is to provide the paddler with a comfortable and enjoyable experience on the water. We believe that staying upright is a key aspect and kayakers should accept the challenges of the water with a relaxed and confident feeling.
"EXPERIENCE THE THRILLS AND LESSEN THE SPILLS"
Balance Solutions, LLC was started in 2004 because of an idea for a ballast system for sea kayaks. It will promote products, in addition to the Paddling Partner, that will enhance the kayakers confidence, comfort, paddling skills and safety.
Paddling Partner
The Stability Solution
Whether you are a novice kayaker or an expert, you know how important the center of gravity is when
you need a little extra stability. A low center of gravity is helpful for balance and control.
Inspired by the many references on Center of Gravity, the Paddling PartnerTM was 5 years in the making. What's the Paddling PartnerTM? Imagine the little round bottom weighted toy from your childhood. You push it sideways and it immediately rebounds upright. The Paddling PartnerTM uses the same principle. This sense of the boat constantly trying to center itself may result in more relaxed paddling. And as a kayaker, when you're comfortable you will enhance your paddling skills.
The concept of a ballast system for boats is nothing new. The Eskimos used rounded stones for better control. Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton fought for survival in the South Atlantic Ocean with lifeboats weighted with stones.
I'd like to introduce you to the Paddling PartnerTM. Happy kayaking!
