A couple of local shops have announced on-the-water demo days in the near future. Demo days always generate lots of interest. If you’re new to the sport demo days are a great opportunity to actually try a kayak on the water.
The Dinghy Shop in Amityville will be doing demos on Saturday, April 30 and Sunday, May 1, 2011.
Empire Kayaks in Island Park will be doing demos on Sunday, May 22, 2011.
Unless you have the experience, and a really good idea of what kayak you like, it’s important you try it before you buy it. And, if you’re an experienced kayaker there’s always the need to try the latest high performance boat. Here’s your chance to check them out.
It’s also a good idea to contact the shop beforehand to make a reservation to make sure the kayaks you would like to try are available.
