Your welcome man...glad i could inspire you to be at the front of the line. haha. good time this morning shootin the shit and passin the time even though i couldnt feel my toes till about 1030. and as to yakcrazy...im not expert as this is my first yak. i would say just be very careful with your landings...find places with very little or no swell as those thin spots could potentially fracture if you come in to quick and hit hard. |

Yes, Andy did that for me too on. Under the seat Support hole. He reinforced it no leaks and peace of mind ever since.

I plan to use it almost exclusively in the ocean. Is it something I should fix now? Is the structural integrity compromised? Do you think it's unsafe? Will it sit lower and take on more water? Do I just wait until I have a problem like a crack or something and then fix it? If I do fix it how much money do you think I am looking at spending? I hope I am just overthinking this but damn if I have to put a bunch of money into it suddenly the great deal could turn into a hassle and a not so great deal if you know what I mean. I probably wouldn't care at all if I wasn't 255lbs. |

Glad to see there are new Yakers out there that are new at the sport like me. Looking forward to seeing you all out on the water sometime soon. If you have never Kayaked before I recommend going onto YouTube and watch all the Kayaking surf launching, rigging, paddling, and anything thing else Kayak related. They will help build you knowledge, and confidence. Jim Sammons has a Great Surf Landing video with tons of information that could save you from having a "Yard Sale" on the landing. Speaking for myself, after watching these videos I have learned so much and have a ton of confidence.

Sorry I did not respond sooner than this. The kayaks sold yesterday still had to meet quality control standards. All of the kayaks sold were seaworthy they just were not perfect. Don't let uneven plastic worry you, it had to meet specs to qualify as purely cosmetic. I use similar blems in my rental fleet and have never seen any issues resulting in uneven plastic. The sale was "as is" with 90 day warranty, with no returns. Reason being that if you had not bought the kayak someone else would have. Don't second guess your derision. We will make sure you are a happy customer. OEX Stands by these kayaks.

I have heard nothing but good things about you and OEX. I am also 100% aware of the return policy on the blem yaks. I'm not requesting a refund or exchange or anything like that. I'm more concerned about whether or not it's safe and whether or not I should attack the problem now or later or whether it is even a problem or potential problem that's all. "All of the kayaks sold were seaworthy they just were not perfect." Does this mean I can still load it down completely and bash it through the surf and all? What do you think Andy? Potential concerns? Is it something I should fix now? Is the structural integrity compromised? Do you think it's unsafe? Will it sit lower and take on more water? Do I just wait until I have a problem like a crack or something and then fix it? If I do fix it how much money do you think I am looking at spending? The other reasons for blems being determined as blems are far less complicated than this one is. Obviously you wouldn't care to fix a scratch now or put a graphic on that maybe wasn't there. But my issue is a little more trivial. Thanks Andy! |

Mini X's
Hi, are there any Mini X's left over from the sale?
It sounds like the sale was a big success! Congrats to all who got the great deals! |

The price of getting a 1000 dollar kayak for $ 375.00 is getting sick.
