Bliss Stick Designs are kayaks made by kayakers, for kayakers. We believe in designing the highest quality, hand built kayaks in the world.

Our boats are built in a small barn tucked away in the hills of New Zealand. Each boat is designed and tested on New Zealand's world class rivers before being shipped world wide for paddlers to enjoy. Outstanding attention to every detail of our boats is our biggest mission so that you hit the river with the best boat out there.

Bliss-Stick US is based in Clover, South Carolina, just south of Charlotte, North Carolina. It is co-owned by John Gordon and Sam Fulbright. The North Carolina mountains are our local playground. We are planning to keep Bliss-Stick US at it's grassroots level, coming to local events, races, demo-days, and visiting the Bliss-Stick family often! We look forward to getting to know and grow the Bliss-Stick community in the states. See you on the river!
