May '09 Newsletter
Brace yourselves everyone (or learn the eskimo roll)! This newsletter is loaded with information so I’ll get started.
Thanks to all who attended last weekend’s Kayak Symposium. The weather was outstanding for a change and I think summer is finally here! It seems like just yesterday we were breaking ice on Lake Aldwell. Let me know if you have any constructive criticism of the event.
The new P and H kayaks were a hit with very favorable reviews on both the Capella line the new Cetus model. Keep in mind the Cetus will be available in a low volume model as well in about three weeks. You can demo most any of their fine Brit style fiberglass kayaks here at the shop. Just give a call!
Some of you took advantage of the Stand Up Paddle (SUP) Boards being demoed over the weekend. If anyone is interested in having another demo day for SUP Boards let me know and maybe I’ll set another one up for a little later in the year. Some of you who couldn’t stay on it the whole time could use the practice anyway.
Our SPRING SALE is in full swing so enjoy great savings on EVERYTHING in the store except for my stereo, girlfriend, or anything in my refrigerator.

We have a limited number of SIGNED copies of Jennifer Hahn’s award winning book Spirited Waters about her solo paddle trip along the Inside Passage. This is a very captivating read! The book retails for $24.95 but we have it at $19.95 while supplies last!
We have a few Symposium long sleeve shirts left. If you missed the event you can still get one and say you were there! Very Special pricing applies if I’m in a good mood.

Kayak rentals are a great way to introduce your friends and neighbors (maybe not in-laws) to a great sport. Mention this email for 10% off our already low prices for any kayak rental in April or May.
PADDLING TIPS:
Got stinky feet? No, I mean do you have smelly booties or other neoprene? Can’t get the barfy smell out washing with regular soap? You need MIRAZYME. It gets rid of the dead skin, little bacteria, and other biomass rotting in there! It’s only pennies per application (unless you buy the one-time application size then it’s just dollars a use) and your paddling friends will love you even more.
Kayak storage problems? Stop by and let us show you various ways to easily store your kayaks out of the way.
Do you have sticky hatch covers? At times the “tupperware” style hatches (non-neoprene) can get a little hard to take on and off. If this happens spray a little 303 Protectant around the inside rim and they will be noticeably easier to deal with. DON”T use any petroleum products as they may damage the hatch cover.
That’s all for now.
