I don't know this place at all, and they might be really nice people. However, knowing that this site is owned and operated by OEX, and that the people at OEX are about the coolest people I've run into in any industry. Also knowing that OEX has done FREE work for people and Andy gives GREAT deals on the work he does charge for... All that pretty much makes anyone trying to parisatise this site look like HUGE DOUCHE BAGS.

Not a good way to start off.

Quick, everyone mob someone who actually supports OEX

That predator looks like a pretty sweet kayak

This kayak looks like it's going to be sweet. I think there are going to be a lot more fishing oriented kayaks coming out in the next couple years.

Wow. I could be totally wrong and if so, I apologize now. Looking at the www.piratekayak.com site. I did not get the impression that they sold or repaired any kayaks or sold accessories for kayaks. That they were a guide company targeting thresher sharks. In fact they have OEX Sunset link on their web page as a company that they do business with. And yes. I completely support OEX.

I had a chance to look at one at the Trinidad rockfish wars last weekend. The ocean reps were there toting how revolutionary it was. It looked like every other company's good ideas rolled in to one. Side mounting boards from a PA, hi lo seat from a Jackson or PA, flat deck for standing like a Jackson, rod tip protectors like a Jackson ect. It was nice looking but not really ground breaking. Personally I thought it had way too much freeboard. I Did like the one way scuppers. It was designed and marketed for skinny water back east where the Old Town name has a following. Tournament day we had 10' swells at 10 seconds, all the predator paddlers stayed inside in protected waters.

If so, why did he start a thread about a new kayak shop? A thread which was erased. Then he responds in this thread with a post about how he knows where to get a Predator.

If I'm missing something or read into all this too much, and he's legit, then I too apologize.
