Wilder Side

At Wilder Side, we're about helping paddlers and e-boaters get to the water, get in the water, and have more fun on the water. What started out as a personal mission to get to the water in 2018 became a passion, and then a vision for assisting other nature lovers. We are about maximizing the fun and minimizing the hassle. So whether its loading your canoe on top of your Jeep, or getting your gear to the water, we play in that space. Our first product solves one of the first problems... getting a heavier rig get to the water from the campsite or parking lot solo. Our revolutionary Freedom Launcher (tm) provides retractable gear for either kayaks or canoes, custom built for your craft.

Overview

The Freedom Launcher (TM) takes the pain and hassle out of your watercraft launching process!  These retractable wheels for kayaks and canoes are custom built to your watercraft specfications and neatly fold up parallel to the side of your watercraft.  Simply push the release lever and guide the wheels to the extended or retracted position.  No fiddling with locking pins as they are built into the system.  Watercraft stays upright during the launching process!
The ordering process simple - tell us your boat make and model; select your color and wheel options; and we will take care of the rest. New for 2023 are upgraded stainless steel springs and wheel keeper pins. Fully ready for your salt water adventure.

The freedom launcher works smoothly and is a big help getting medium and large sized kayaks into the water. I've used the freedom launcher and can attest it works very well. It is simple, sturdy, and lightweight. Difficulty launching your craft is greatly reduced with this clever device!
