I'm pretty sure liquid logic kayaks will sell direct in the US

Also highly recommended is Pyrahna (UK based with US manufacturing) and Dagger

Note these are not mass produced in the way wallmart kayaks will be, each one of them is individually finished by someone who makes kayaks all day every day and probably paddles them every day too, so you aren't going to compete on price. Kayaks used to be commonly sold through a dealer network, but that is changing now, partly due to competition from the mass produced, far east market.
