project nova
broken gear. second lives.
we're kayak guides in Bohol. when our inflatable kayaks, tents, and other
gear wear out, we don't retire them.
we give make them a second take on adventure as handcrafted bags, gears & accessories.
2020 grounded our tours and left us with time and aging kayaks.
this was our transformation.
at present, we still guide on the waters. what's changed is what happens to our gear after.
we are going circular.

Out Story
project nova was founded by kayak guides. A
lifestyle that brings us to work closely in nature
and with remote communities.
When travel was disrupted in 2020 we kept our
hands moving. What began as a way to reduce
our environmental footprint became a lifeline
through lockdowns.
Our nature-inspired bags and accessories are
made from decommissioned inflatable kayaks
and retired outdoor gear. By keeping them out of
landfills, we give them a second adventure.
Hand-constructed and weather proof.
Built to give back more than we take.
Being the solution starts with what we
choose to carry.
Why Project Nova
Life Cycles
This kayak logged 1,000's + kilometers on our south east Asian waters. Now it's your carry-on.
Nothing ends. Everything returns.
