hey rik do you thinks its possible to bring a tarpon 120? sure like to try one out. or anything in the 12' range for offshore fishing you think i might be interested in. thanks

baerclaws · 05-22-2010, 01:52 PM

What Demo?
I was there, where were you?

old_rookie · 05-22-2010, 02:19 PM

They were there. Must admit they are not very obvious - just south of the visitor center at the end of Clairemont DRive.

roadx · 05-22-2010, 04:18 PM

thanks Rik!! for a newcomer it was great. gives me an idea of what i like in kayaks and what i dont. i stopped by oex at santa claira after we left you and tried a few more (butt was already wet, what the hell, right??) another good experience, good people.
i have to say the ocean kayaks are great. and the torques... well it just makes me lazy!! very cool. thanks again i enjoyed!!!

so far i like the ocean kayaks the most, stable and fast. got spoiled with the 13 footer

old_rookie · 05-22-2010, 05:04 PM

Yup - thanks Rik and Mark. That was fun trying out the different units. What a cool way to get people interested and hooked. Can't wait to get one and do a little

with it. Pull in a

to take home to the family and finally get some

and

.

After that short time on the water I had so much energy - it was great.

Thanks Mark for the lesson on getting on one - made it very easy.

baerclaws · 05-22-2010, 06:07 PM

Couldn't prove it by me, I went through every lot north and south. The only thing close was a Trident 15 standing upward on the back of a van, which I dismissed because there was no OEX sign or anyone around. I Finally got back on 5 at Sea World Drive. I hope the others I told about the Demo weren't equally disappointed.

old_rookie · 05-22-2010, 06:55 PM

If you had parked where the upright Trident was standing, then walk southwest from that kayak, you would have seen them. There was a flag flying with the OK logo on it not far from them. Sorry you missed it.

FishFeeder · 05-22-2010, 07:13 PM

those of us who did find you greatly appreciated the chance to try out a boat or two, thanks for your effort. it was actually pretty useful to get out with a bit of wind to see how the kayak handles as much wind as i'm likely to go out in. thanks again.

tony · 05-22-2010, 08:29 PM

Old Rookie, Judging by your new avatar I'm guessing there's a Trident with your name on it somewhere.........

Billy V · 05-22-2010, 08:42 PM

Thanks for the demo Rick.

It was a good day to test a kayak with wind and some small chop.
The trident 15 paddles nice.

BTW that was the most paddling I have done in my life

I wasn't sure how to work that arm peddle black stick you handed me after boarding the kayak.
