HOT Kayaks Demo Days are almost here!

The first demo day will be in Temple at Belton Lake:

The second demo day will be in Grapevine at Grapevine Lake:

Grapevine Demo Day

10am to 4pm
Vineyards Campground Pavilion on Lake Grapevine

This is a great chance to test drive over 30 different boats from Wilderness Systems, Native, Heritage, Perception, Liquid Logic, Ocean Kayak, and Freedom Hawk. So many boats...so little time! Hope to see you all there!

do we just show up? or do we need to sign up? I've never been to one of these demos

No need to sign up beforehand...just show up anytime between 10am and 4pm and be ready to paddle some kayaks!

We'll have a release form and sign-up table setup at the event. You'll just have to sign the release and then we'll get you setup with a paddle and a PFD and you can start test paddling some kayaks. There's also a few of us (as in my brother and myself) milling around in case you have any questions about any of the kayaks.

SO

Will there be any Hobie kayaks there?

Count me in! Any Wilderness Rides?

We will have the WS Ride at the demo. The boats that will be at the demo include:

Native Manta Rays (12, 14), Ultimates (12, 14 solo, 14 tandem), Magic (12 and 14), Propel 12

Wilderness System Tarpons (100, 120, 140, 160), Commander 120, Ride 135, and Pamlico

I know I'm missing some! But the brands that will be there are Native, Wilderness, Perception, Liquid Logic, Freedom Hawk, Ocean Kayak, and Heritage.

Hope to see you all there!

Thanks to everyone that braved the horrible winds at our demo day in Temple!! Here's hoping that the April 10th demo in Grapevine has sunny weather and no wind.

A few pics from our Temple demo day:





And our best paddler of the day:



She paddled for over 2 hours in howling winds and did better than most of the grownups that were out there. Her parents forced her to get off the water for a 15 min. break to eat a PB&J sandwich...and then she was right back out there.

Although it looks like it might be a little windy this weekend, Saturday is supposed to be sunny and in the high 70's. Perfect!
