History
Opened in 1987 we were one of the very first companies to fall in love with plastic sit-on-top kayaks. The flatter hulls that made them handle in the surf better than most long kayaks also gave them better storage inside the hulls for larger amounts of equipment. The plastic hulls allowed landing on rocky coastlines and kayak expeditions to the outer islands became the norm and with better stability the flatter hulls became the best fishing kayaks to have. Redesigns to the kayaks made them capable of carrying scuba tanks and large insulated fish bags for fresh caught fish so the free divers fell in love with kayaking as well. The need to get their new kayaks home forced Go Bananas to get into the aftermarket roof rack and truck rack business. We have become the largest retailer of car, truck, and van racks for everything from surf boards, kayaks, outriggers, SUP boards, bicycles, lumber, ladders, and anything too big to fit in the car or on the truck or van.
