EZ Launch
Launching and docking your kayak or canoe has never been easier. Our kayak and canoe EZ Launch® System is perfect for small boat lovers of all experience levels, from the beginners who have never been in a boat, to even the most advanced kayakers! EZ Launch® and canoe launch is a safe and easy way to launch your vessel. Small boat enthusiasts will feel confident transferring into their watercraft independently and securely and launching with stability and ease, regardless of tide fluctuation or waves created by wind or boat traffic.
EZ Launch is also the first ADA launch designed for kayaks in the industry, ensuring everyone will find boarding, launching and recovery a breeze. Learn more about our ADA Launch below.
RESIDENTIAL KAYAK LAUNCH SYSTEM
The EZ Launch can be used with nearly any residential dock. If you have kayaks or canoes you want to launch from your dock safely, EZ Launch is for you. EZ Launch is also beneficial for launching kayaks in bodies of water where the water level fluctuates. Because our launching system floats, it rises and falls with the water level, further simplifying the launch process. Consider some of the features of EZ Launch for kayaks:
- Integrated launch-assist paddle notches: This built-in feature makes docking and launching easy and safe. Your paddles stay secure while you get in or out of the kayak, and no additional work is necessary to keep the paddles locked in place.
- One floating piece: This allows the dock and launch to rise and fall with changing water levels, making it easier for everyone to access the water and the dock.
- V-shaped entry: The shape of the entry stabilizes your boat for a confident, consistent launch. Even beginners can gain confidence with the EZ Launch’s stability. The entry is also wider, which allows both kayaks and canoes to be launched.
- Seamless connections: You can connect EZ Launch to any traditional fixed or standard floating dock. Easy installation allows you to conveniently make EZ Launch part of your new or existing dock system.
How EZ Launch Works:
EZ Launch can be easily incorporated into any EZ Dock configuration, allowing for various waterfront arrangements based on your needs and preferences. Our kayak launch system is easy to use for both experienced and novice kayakers.
To get started, carry your kayak out to the launch and set it in the V-shaped funnel. Once your kayak is in the launch area, you can safely enter your kayak without getting wet or worrying about the boat floating away.
Once seated in your kayak, you’ll use your paddle to pull yourself into the water. The paddle notches along the sides of the launch allow you to effectively pull yourself and your kayak into and out of the water.
To enter the launch from the water, simply paddle up to the entry, secure your paddle into the notches and pull to slide your kayak out of the water. Once your kayak is back in the launch, you can safely exit your kayak directly on the dock.
Stay Stable and Dry With EZ Launch
Whether you’re a novice or have experience, EZ Launch provides the necessary stability and security to assist you when getting in and out of the water and your paddle craft. This kayak docking system’s innovative design adjusts to shifting water levels, and paddle notches assist with steady entry, exit, easy docking and launching.
A wide, V-shaped entry helps center paddle craft for consistent and smooth launches. The EZ Launch Residential system can be installed virtually anywhere because it seamlessly connects with standard dock sections, low profile EZ Dock sections and other types of traditional docks.
EZ Launch ADA
At EZ Dock, we understand the importance of creating accessible, easy-to-use docking launching solutions — that is why we are continually striving to break the mold and develop innovative products for water enthusiasts everywhere. A first in the industry, the EZ Launch® Accessible Transfer System for kayaks and canoes provides individuals with disabilities accessibility that exceeds the minimum requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). With an easy-to-use transfer bench and transfer slide boards, users can simply sit, slide over and drop down into a kayak or canoe and use durable side rails to pull off or back on.
EZ Launch Features for Universal Access
Our award-winning accessibility standards have enabled us to create the first ADA accessible launches on the market. Every EZ Launch System has the following options available:
- A transfer bench: Our transfer benches have two different height options, so users can move easily and comfortably from a wheelchair into their vessel. Built-in handrails allow users to remain steady throughout the process.
- Transfer slide boards: Transfer slide boards with two heights for differing watercraft sizes will help users move from the transfer bench to the kayak or canoe.
- A railing system: EZ Launch has a built-in railing system for maximum slide board stabilization and transfer support, allowing for easy side movement.
EZ Dock is here to work alongside you to create the best launch system layout for your needs and available space, including launch access points that meet and exceed ADA accessibility standards. We can configure EZ Launch Systems to suit a variety of configurations, including multi-unit launches. Our kayak and canoe launches are also easy to connect and integrate with existing or future EZ Dock products for ultimate efficiency.
