Thank You Fastlane - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Kudos for good service at Fastlane. I use a Hobie Outback and they have helped me a lot too, including fishing tips, friendly advice and everything else.

I've been to OEX to check out the other side of the non-Hobie universe. They were very kind to me too. If we need specific Hobie parts, we can't go to OEX. It's as simple as that.

They may both have mutually exclusive product lines, but lots of everything else we do we have in common.

There's room for everyone, I'm sure. No need to turn a nice compliment into a pc vs. apple, nikon vs. canon, them vs. us, etc., pissing match.

Go catch fish

Not a pissing match. I prefer to buy my Hobie parts at OEX and support the people that bring us this site. Fastlane may be awesome but they compete with the company that provides us this valuable service free of charge. And they are dignified enough not to say anything and will leave up a post that in essence advertises for a competitor. I have no doubt the original poster had the best intentions but you don't put a McDonald's poster up in an In-n-Out.

Would be curious to know if the guys at Fastlane support Heroes on the Water or events like the Lebowitz.

OEX sells Hobie parts?

If that's true, then I apologize for my misunderstanding.

Compliments for good service should not be offensive to anyone.

Carry on..
