Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

We now have 30 different Sea kayaks to demo, with more due in the next month. If we havent got them then it could just be that the manufacturers dont think they will stand up to comparison. We have moved here because its the best place to have a Sea Kayaking Shop. Its easy to talk about how a certain sea kayak performs when your miles from the nearest bit of salty water WE CAN SHOW YOU HOW THEY PERFORM.
