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.

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.

Yes, check out the seat
However, speaking from experience, DO NOT CHECK THE SECONDARY STABILITY of the Cuda 12... It has none
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

PS: The Jackson Cuda seat does float

done but but the Jackson kayaks seemed plenty stable to
me !
