Tom Derrer began building whitewater kayaks back in the days when, if you wanted to paddle, you had to build your own. He formed Eddyline kayaks in 1971 in Boulder, Colorado. In 1974 he moved Eddyline to the Puget Sound area of Washington and continued to paddle and compete in whitewater while building kayaks designed by Werner Furrer. There, he became interested in sea kayaking and soon began designing for himself. His "Orca" design still stands as a benchmark in the industry as will his innovative "Falcon", and most recently the "Night Hawk". He pioneered vacuum bagging and the use of the extruded seaming technique. His designs blend performance, stability and aesthetics. This is a difficult and rarely achieved balance, yet it's something that Eddyline customers have come to expect.
