The new Sportsman Bigwater EPDL Plus 132 from Old Town is the first seamless battery-powered pedal

kayak on the market, allowing you to switch between manual pedaling, five-speed power-assisted

So revolutionary is the EPDL's design that it won best new boat of the year at Icast

2023, a well-earned victory for Old Town where innovation is core. I couldn't be more pumped

about the EPDL because its functionality means I can go longer and farther for stripers and river

and tidal current and explore

distant snake headwaters that were a little daunting to reach with pedal power alone.

everybody up and down the river laughing

and going

like that
