How do I obtain a MSO (Manufacturer's Statement of Origin) to register my kayak in my country or state (including those that need it for motorized canoe and kayak purposes) ?

If you have purchased a new kayak from us, the MSO (Manufacturer's Statement of Origin) should have been included along with your guide to register your kayak and visit our Owner's Centre online.  If you have misplaced your MSO, please download a new one (see download attached to this article below) and fill it in. 

If you plan to add propulsion to your favorite kayak or canoe, you will need to register your watercraft before using it in many USA states and some countries.  You will need a manufacturer's statement of origin (MSO) and an invoice or receipt when registering a new watercraft.
