Cajo Owner's Community

The Cajo Owner's Community lives in the Camino Journey Kayak Facebook group — that's where rigging photos, fishing trips, and on-water conversations actually happen. The video library is on @caminojourney.co on YouTube and TikTok. For warranty + claims + missing parts, go through the claims form (the FB group isn't a support queue). For pre-purchase questions, hit chat on caminojourney.com.

Cajo's owner community isn't on a forum we built. It lives where anglers already hang out — Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram. This is the front door to all of it, plus a map of when to use which channel.

The Camino Journey Kayak Facebook Group

facebook.com/groups/caminojourneygroup

This is where the real Cajo owner conversations happen.

Who's in it

  • Cajo owners (across all models — Outpost, Terra, Highlander)
  • Cajo field staffers and pro team members
  • Josh Thomas (founder) — occasionally drops in for rigging questions or big-picture launches
  • Pre-purchase shoppers asking "should I get the Outpost 128 or Terra 116" — yes, those questions are welcome

What gets posted there

  • Rigging photos — the single best place to see how other owners actually set up their boats
  • Trip reports and catch photos
  • "Which fin drive should I run on my Highlander" debates
  • "What roof rack system is everyone using" questions
  • Field-tested compatibility info (often before our help center catches up)
  • Maintenance tips owners have figured out

What the group is NOT

  • Not a support queue. Don't post warranty issues, missing parts, or "my drive shipped damaged" here expecting a fix. The group has a lot of helpful owners but Cajo's Claims Team monitors the claims form, not Facebook DMs.
  • Not a place to flame other owners' setups. Different boats fish different water; respect the variety.

Video library

YouTube — @caminojourney.co

Long-form content. Setup walkthroughs, model comparisons, on-water reviews from creators we've sent boats to. Search "Cajo Outpost 128 review" or similar — there's a growing library of independent reviews plus official walkthroughs.

TikTok + Instagram Reels — @caminojourney.co

Short-form rigging tips, dock-talk, gear breakdowns. Faster cadence than YouTube; good for following along during launch and new-product cycles.

Facebook Reels — facebook.com/caminojourney.co

Same shorts content as TikTok/Instagram, surfaced in the Facebook ecosystem so it shows up to group members.

Existing on-water review compilations

For per-model walkthroughs, see Video reviews of Cajo models.

Field Team and creator program

Cajo's Field Team is the small group of pro-level anglers who get gear seeded for content creation, on-water testing, and tournament representation. We don't offer a flat "creator discount" — we evaluate program fit case by case.

Why the community model

Cajo is intentionally small. We're not trying to be Hobie or Old Town in catalog breadth — we're trying to build the right boats for serious kayak anglers and let those owners build the brand together. The Facebook group is where that happens.

> "I wanted CAJO to be shaped by actual anglers, not boardrooms. That's why we built a think-tank of hundreds of kayakers and let their needs guide every decision." — Josh Thomas, Founder

If you've got a feature idea, a rigging hack, or a problem you've solved that other owners would benefit from, the group is the place to share it. We see those posts; sometimes they end up in the next product cycle.
