25+ years ago I was on the west coast of Scotland when a fellow paddler approached me as I was transporting my sea kayak and asked me about my ‘fancy gear.’

He was referring to the trolley, and the bent bars on my car roof to hold the Kayak. I explained that since there was nothing suitable on the market, I had resorted to making them myself. This gentleman happened to own a company that sold sea kayaks and accessories and was keen to know more.  He was Mike Thomson of Scottish Paddler Supplies. This chance encounter led to a solid friendship and the creation of Kayak Carrier Systems.

I have been sea kayaking since I was 10 years old, so have vast knowledge of the sport behind me. I have created a family run business, and along with my family and other kayak experts, we have spent years refining our products to ensure our customers get exactly what they need for safe and reliable transportation of their beloved goods. We have the renowned Dr Douglas Wilcox testing our products. You can take a look at his work here. 

We are based at the foot of the Scottish Highlands and like to keep production local. All of our items are made to order in our onsite workshop. We pay Aberfeldy Community Workshop to do work for us. We love to have a sense of community with our business. In fact, if you’re ever passing by, we would love for you to pop in for a coffee and a chat!

Please check out our website for information on our products. We will add to the blog with any product updates. If you have any questions or even feedback on how we can improve our service to you then please do not hesitate to contact us, we’d absolutely love to hear from you!
