Outdoor gear sales have surged this summer amid the coronavirus pandemic. Along with bikes and water bottles, paddle gear has been in high demand. Namely, kayaks, paddle boards, and canoes. Heck, I've even bought and tried a foldable kayak to make the outdoor activity easier this summer.

If you're looking for a way to enjoy the warm weather, sunshine, and nature while social distancing, these activities are fun, relaxing, and get your body moving. Although it is possible to rent these items in many areas, sales have surged as people have become wary of leasing them.

The good news: While inventory is slim, you can still order a kayak, paddle board, and canoe online. Top retailers known for selling outdoor gear like REI, Backcountry, and Walmart still have kayaks, paddle boards, and canoes in stock, but some of these high-quality models tend to be on the more expensive side. Plus, some of these stores will ship your new boat and paddles straight to your door, though keep in mind there may be an additional shipping fee.

Below, you'll find a list of retailers you can still buy highly-rated kayaks, paddle boards, and canoes from, and we'll continue to update as items come in and out of stock. While most of the models still available can be pricey, you'll be confident to know they have rave reviews and will keep you floating for years to come.
