Outdoorplay was founded in 1995. The kayaking business started as a one man kayak school based out of a garage in Salem, Oregon. With the focus of introducing new people to the sport.

Outdoorplay quickly grew a loyal customer base in the Northwest and developed into a thriving retail operation focused on delivering world class customer service, instruction and expertise.

When the business went online in 1998, it became a national presence in paddlesports retail. Today Outdoorplay is not only the largest online dealer in the country, we're also the most experienced. We've done this longer than any other retailer out there. Trust your business to Outdoorplay.
