I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

No, I don’t believe so. It’s a wide kayak I don’t really think it needs an out rigger attachment but if you wanted to add it, you would have to drill into the kayak. I ended up not keeping mine despite this being a good brand because the shipping was just in a plastic bag and it arrived with scuffs and gouges.

You might be able to rig up something, but it doesn’t come with it.

Eight stoppers

I have the same kayak and I bought the Ocean Kayak Scupper Valves (Set of 2) for all if the holes. You can find them on Amazon. When water gets in the boat the valves let the water back out.
