YOLO Yak
11' 10" Long

The first true hybrid SUP/kayak of its kind! Our first full adventure board combines the elements of a paddleboard with the durability of a kayak. Produced using the best marine technology available, the YOLO Yak is made of rotomolded polyethelene, (just like your favorite sit-atop kayak). It is the most durable multi-use stand up paddleboard on the market. Features include a front bungee tie down system, molded-in keel system, foam traction pad and both front and rear handles. At 54 lbs., 11'10" long and 33" wide, this board is designed with recessed deck to provide additional stability for a variety of water pursuits such as fishing, crabbing, or just cruising your local flatwater spot. Tough enough for outdoor storage, the Yolo Yak is a perfect fit for resorts and rental businesses, as well as all watermen who are tough on their gear.
The Yolo Story
You Only Live Once
The theme of YOLO is very much in the hearts and minds of founders Jeff Archer and Tom Losee. Both are business owners with a keen entrepreneurial spirit. Balancing family, business, and recreational activities always has its challenges, yet the realization that life will never slow down caused them to look at maximizing fun in relation to responsibility. With the motto "You Only Live Once" as the mantra for these two entrepreneurs, the idea of YOLO as a bigger force was born.
After extensive research and development, it was determined that there was a need for more of a hybrid style stand-up paddle board--one that not only has its roots in traditional surfing but also in other related paddle sports such as canoeing and kayaking. With the endless supply of bodies of water in Florida and increasing momentum in this segment of the water sports market, YOLO BOARD was born… Standing up and paddling offers a whole new point of view: from paddling with dolphins, to sneaking up on blue crabs, to dropping in at your favorite surf-break, the act of YOLO-ing or stand up paddling has evolved from its surfing roots to a far more extensive means to enjoy time on the water from a new perspective—anywhere—anytime.

“The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he’s always doing both.” - James A. Michener
