Fred Hall Demo DAZE
 

OEX Sunset Beach will be hosting demo days on the weekend before Fred Hall Long Beach as well as the weekend after Fred Hall Mar 2 and Mar 15,16.

This is an opportunity to try before you buy. I will have the Hobie Pro Angler to demo as well as the Native Slayer and Mariner, along with all the others from Jackson, Malibu, Hobie, Wilderness, Ocean Kayak. If there is something in particular you want to come demo give me a call 562-592-0800 Andy

EDIT, I removed Mar 1 as I plan to attend the rockfish derby.

Are you kidding me.. I've been waiting all year to attend FHS and now its going to be on the week I'm taking a 4000 mile road trip?

Andy,
Is an appointment required to demo the Kayaks?

No appointment necessary on those days. anytime from 9-3

Will you have a Jackson cuda 12 or 14? Want check out that seat.

Yes, I currently have a Cuda 12 and 14.

I have never been kayaking and would like pick some folks brains and try out a kayak or two. I really would like to get into the sport, any thoughts on this? What do I need to bring?

You don't really need to bring anything. I would come with an idea of what you think may work for you. I rent kayaks EVERY day, this is a chance to try several for comparisons and figure out with our help what may work best for you and how you fish.

This is a chance to try out Pro Anglers and Propel Kayaks that I do not rent out or demo on a day to day basis.

Lots of interest at Fred Hall so I am preparing for a busy weekend, with industry and pro staff guys there to help out.

bump!

Lots of good information shared and lots of demos today. Had Mark Olson helping out, Steve, Jarrod, Ron and Matt THANKS!

tomorrow from 10 am -3 pm and then it is over until the next demo day!

Yes, check out the seat
However, speaking from experience, DO NOT CHECK THE SECONDARY STABILITY of the Cuda 12... It has none :hmmmm:
While demoing it, I went for an unexpected swim in dead flat water. That sucked!
Sheesh, none of the Hobies dumped me off.

Thanks Andy for putting these on.
It helps a lot to test the different rides out :you_rock:

PS: The Jackson Cuda seat does float :rolleyes:

This dude totally missed the water with his paddle :D


.

You may turn out to be a hobie peddler when all said and
done but but the Jackson kayaks seemed plenty stable to
me !

Maybe so, but I would never get in one again
