On Earth Day, Costa celebrates the 71% of the planet that's covered in water

April 22, 2022 By Costa Press Release

Costa has always been driven by a higher calling. While exploration quenches our thirst, we know there is more to being a true waterman & woman. It's why the brand has spent the past 39 years protecting the watery world it calls home.

On Earth Day, Costa celebrates the 71% of the planet that's covered in water with the launch of "One Water" by Costa Films. One Water explores the reality that we are all connected by water, regardless of where we live, which makes us all responsible for protecting it. Costa Pros Hilary Hutcheson, Oliver White and Brandon Cyr share their unique perspectives on this shared resource and responsibility, as well as how we can all help. Start Small. Start Local. Just Start.

If you'd like to learn more about Costa's work to help protect what's out there, check out their Protect Report here.

Crescent Kayak's Fly-Weight Rigs & Ultra-Affordable Primo!

Crescent Kayak has built a reputation for some of the most affordable and sweetest paddling rigs on the market, made entirely in the USA. Their three flyweight rigs are the 10'-2” UltraLite at 49 lbs, the new 10'-6” Primo at 60 lbs, and the 11' CK2 at 65 lbs. The recently introduced Primo is also the most affordable boat in the lineup, and at its Hi-Lo adjustable seat, motor-ready mounting plate, and overall paddling sets it apart in the value category. It's not an easy choice deciding which rig is right for your needs. If you weigh more than 190 lbs, you need to focus on the Primo or CK2. If you want a fishing-ready rig right from the jump, the UltraLite or CK2 are more the ticket. If you are a bigger paddler or haul heavier amounts of gear and tackle, the CK2's generous capacity of 400 lbs gets the nod. If you are super-value conscious and want a stability-focused platform, the Primo is your Huckleberry. To learn more about the features lists and color options, visit: crescentkayaks.com

Newport NK180PRO: Empower YOUR Fishing Utility!

Adding a motor to your kayak offers incredible fishing utility, particularly when you need to traverse big bodies of water to reach fish, fight upstream against current, need to rig rods while traveling between spots – or just giving your arms and legs a rest throughout the day. Rigging our super-versatile 13-foot Crescent Crew tandem kayak as a solo boat with a Newport NK 180PRO provided incredible optimization to this kayak – and hands free steering while fishing – making a great rig even more effective as an overall fishing platform. The NK180PRO was super easy to install, even on a sealed boat like this Crew. We've included some useful links below, to a couple of our friend's videos that document how to run steering tubes and route the cables for foot-steered power. We also REALLY like the Newport Bluetooth enabled 24V 50AH LiFePO4, because we can always gauge battery life at-a-glance. If you've been thinking about powering your yak and gaining more overall utility and on-water optimization, Newport has a solution for your needs. For big loads and bigger yaks, Newport's NK 300 offers even more power: www.newportvessels.com
