Dad's DIY Lessons: How to Fix and Thrive on the Water with Bixpy Kits
With Father’s Day just around the corner, we wanted to recognize all those DIY dads out there and all the lessons they taught us. Celebrate dad with Bixpy products this Father’s Day!
Having a Dad who loves tinkering and DIY projects has its advantages. Not only do you learn how to be handy with tools, but you can also learn the fundamentals of problem-solving. Working on a do-it-yourself project is truly a learning experience, as so many of us know. In fact, dad taught us some life lessons like…
- How to hold a flashlight while he works — or, in our case, how not to hold a flashlight.
- How to choose just the right words when something does not go as planned…specifically quite a few four letter words that got us into trouble later in school.
- How to fix something with just duct tape and zip ties, and maybe a prayer or two to the universe that whatever we just wrapped and tied stays together.
- How to take our sweet time working on a project with a cold drink in hand and friends gathered round.
All joking aside, we are really thankful for all those DIY dads out there that taught us these lessons and so much more like quality time, hard work, perseverance…and our favorite four letter word that we can’t repeat here. Happy Father’s Day to those do-it-yourselfers! However, we know that not all dads are into DIY, but maybe you are!
Start a new tradition in your household and pass on the art of DIY to your own kids. Below are a few videos on how to set up some of our most popular DIY kits. Learn how to assemble these on your own, with your own kids or grab your dad and learn together this Father’s Day!
Passing on the Love for Water Sports and DIY Skills to Future Generations
If this is your first time hearing about our DIY kits, then you should know that these kits have been designed to be accessible, user-friendly, and to cater to anyone who wants to experience the joy of exploring the water. In fact, our kits are a perfect example of our vision for "Everyone on the Water" by enabling enthusiasts to retrofit their watercraft with our water propulsion systems. With Bixpy DIY kits, you can set up a variety of propulsion systems on kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, and other watercraft in just a few minutes, without requiring any special technical knowledge. The kits also come with a straightforward installation guide and support through YouTube videos to help set it up in minutes (like the ones provided above!). The kits are versatile, allowing users to customize their setup based on their requirements and preferences.
For Father’s Day, we truly believe that one of the greatest gifts a father can give to their child is a love for water sports. And what better way to enhance the experience than by teaching your kids the DIY skills to set up and maintain their gear? For dads who have a passion for water sports, Bixpy kits provide an excellent opportunity to share that love with their kids. Imagine teaching your child how to set up a Bixpy K-1 outboard motor kit on a kayak or paddleboard, then hitting the water together for an exhilarating adventure. It's a bonding experience that can create memories to last a lifetime.
But the benefits go beyond just spending quality time together. By teaching your kids the DIY skills needed to install and maintain their own water sports gear, you're setting them up for success in other areas of their lives as well. They'll learn problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the satisfaction that comes with taking on a project and seeing it through to completion.
So, this Father's Day, consider giving the gift of Bixpy to your dad or passing on the love of water sports and DIY skills to your children. Who knows, it may even inspire them to become the next great innovators in the water sports industry!
