Iceman · 08-03-2012, 10:23 PM

3 days in Salt Lake City checking out what is new for this coming year.

Day 1 was on the water demos, days 2 and 3 in the convention center.

Urban Camo, new seat set up and new foot pegs set up

new seats on the Tarpon Series

The Ride 135 has a new high seat position

nothing to see here..........move along

comfy seats are the in thing

Luther of Yakattack always has cool new stuff!

The new tracks will make a lot of people happy.

Scotty has a few cool new products

cool, easy to stow bimini for the fishing destinations that really need em

just in case you were not paying attention the first time.

Vacation starts Sunday, one week in Minnesota with a bunch of Allens I have not seen in too long.

I will check on the hatch for you. They are coming out with a gear bucket for it and it will be an option to swap on the Outback. The good news Don is your current PA will go up in value come Sept 1st........and that PA 12 price this 1st year was INTRODUCTORY............tick tock!

I'm really digging the new Ride 135, I had one years back and loved it. I may have to pick up another paddle kayak.

The Hobie is a great platform if your sole intent is fishing. But when I'm out cruising on a glassy lake I still prefer a paddle.

Does the New PA 14 have the lowarance built in transducer spot like the 12?

Both the new PA14 and 12 have the Lowrance built-in, yes. Mod kits for other brands will be available, too.

By the way, those prices are effective Sept 1. So if you want to save $500, the clock is ticking.

I had my suspicions this would be the case. Glad I jumped on it!

Lot of cool stuff at the show. For those interested in SUP's that part of the industry is BOOMING. Of course like Andy said, some cool new stuff for us Kayak guys as well.

New seating material on the Wildy boats looks really nice, Bending Branches/Aquabound had an awesome new Ferrule system on their paddles, YakAttack didnt disappoint as always, and the new scotty stuff was rad as well.

Cant wait to see all this stuff make its way into customers hands and see how the industry evolves even more in the coming year. It was a great show and a lot of fun.
