Outdoor Retailer 2014

Sometimes you feel like a paddle; sometimes you don't. The new modular Predator XL kayak from Old Town keeps you happy in either case. With the help of a drop-in electric motor module, you can leave the paddle onshore and navigate the water with 45 lb of thrust and a foot-controlled rudder system.

Many a would-be paddleboarder is dissuaded from ever getting onto the water by the heavy, enormous size of the boards. Corran Addison Paddleboards has developed a three-piece board to help solve this problem.

Always looking for a new excuse to run its electric jet drive through the water, WaveJet has released a new board designed for fishing. The Pau Hana Big EZ Angler is the jet-powered stand-up paddleboard that provides stand-up fishermen with a new way to quietly troll the local fishing hole.

This year's Outdoor Retailer took the multifunctional hiking pole to a new level, with two hiking poles that double as full-on survival multi-tools. One includes an interchangeable multitool system, while the other has a built-in flashlight … and stun gun.

Flashlights, lanterns, headlamps, tent lights … there are a lot of different ways to light up a campsite. Colorado-based outdoor specialist Big Agnes adds one more: the tent. Specifically, its mtnGLO tent range.

Zeal was one of the first major ski goggle manufacturers to integrate an HD actioncam into its goggles. Now it's readying a second generation version, the HD2 Camera Goggle, that packs upgraded hardware and new features.

A new Colorado-based outfit thinks it has a solution for snow biking that's considerably better than fat tires. The BikeBoard puts a ski underneath the front tire, providing float in deep snow and metal-edged traction on hardpack. Bikes have gone skiin'.
