For those who fly outside the channel markers

A Program Built For Testing Gear in the Field, Not On the Computer

It was our philosophy since day one: get our products in the hands of real people, gather intel on its performance through real-world testing, make it better, repeat. With this program we are not only looking for ways to create better products and push boundaries, but we also aim to build a real community of people passionate about skiffs, fishing, and conservation. 

The program, much like the products we’re testing, is a constant work in progress. With your help, we’re looking to improve the Research Pilot program any chance we can get.
