The time has finally come. The time to make my selection for the 'Best Portable Kayaks of the Year'. Please note that this selection only takes into account the portable kayaks that I tested this past year. I'm sure there are some other kayaks that deserve to be in this conversation, but that doesn't change the fact that these kayaks deserve special recognition. And so these are my picks for the PaddleTV Awards for 'Best Portable Kayaks of 2021'.
