Reach out if you would like us to schedule this event at a different date, time or location. We are on the road often and run events monthly in Houston, Austin, Dallas and in between and know of many places where to kayak.

Reply with your phone number so I can give you a call to discuss about your kayaking experience and kayaking fantasies. And to make a list of kayaks that will best fit your body stature, to bring out for you to tryout.

Do your homework! Many of these kayaks are described/pictured on cross-posted ads on Craigslist in Houston, Austin, and Dallas.

We are limited by the trailer capacity and can't bring out all at once all the kayaks in this list. This is why we must have a phone conversation first, to better understand your needs and narrow the list.

If there is a kayak model that you have in mind that is not on this list, please let me know, I might have it!

Should you choose to leave with one of our kayaks, think ahead how you would transport the kayak to your home.

We accept Venmo, PayPal, check and cash payment.
