How-To: Offset RotoGrip Paddle Holder - YakAttack

After posting this DIY offset paddle holder solution on Facebook last week we have been getting a lot of request for the exact recipe of needed parts to put this together. Recently and old brand friend, Troy Meyerhoeffer, shared this solution with us and we thought it was a simple and practical solution for storing your paddle offset from the track yet still easily within reach. On many different kayaks like this Native Watercraft Titan 10.5 there really isn't a spot for short term paddle staging. Yeah, it is a pedal driven kayak and has long term paddle storage where the paddle is stored in two separate pieces in the rear tankwell, but for many people having a paddle within reach is a must have feature even when using a pedal drive like a Native or Hobie. This offset paddle holder solution isn't just for those with pedal kayak or motors it is a solid option for anyone where their kayak doesn't have a great grab and good paddle holder system built into their kayak and also for some built in systems the paddle usually covers up the use of the length of track entirely. This simple solution moves everything about three inches off the track allow for use of rod holder, fish finder mounts, and other accessories to be mounted on the track itself. Below you will find a list of the needed parts and how-to add this to your kayak. Please note, this install doesn't cover adding tracks to your kayak if it doesn't have any stock.
