Kayak test ride

[JohnP]

Once it warms up, I'm planning on testing out some kayaks. I've got my mind set on either an Outback or PA12, but wanted to try a couple of paddle kayaks as well. Since I have zero experience, I'd like to try out a variety. I know I can demo Hobies at Backyard Boats in Annapolis, but do you guys have suggestions of places close by (I live near Arundel Mills Mall) where I can try out other brands? (Jackson, Wilderness, Native, etc).

Thanks in advance!

I almost feel silly for asking now....I hadn't been to Backyard Boats but I've spoken to a rep....didn't realize there was another place that close.

Thanks!

if you want to save tax dollars for accessories,

take a drive out to delaware paddle sports
has jackson, hobie, native, and old town/ocean kayak

Annap canoe only has wilderness systems and a few native and a few old town, they arent really into fishing kayaks much but can order them

give em a look, excellent customer service.
Will take you out for some test rides as well, and everyone who works at the shop either fishes, or does white water, so they have experience across the board
