Sea Kayak Demo Weekend 18th/19th May

Yes, this really is Exmouth!

Being that we live in one of the best areas in the country for Sea Kayaking we think its a good idea everyone should get involved.
If you are thinking of buying a sea kayak and are not sure which model to choose or you just want a bit more information on what's involved, our Sea Kayak Demo Weekend could be just what you need.

As with most of AS Watersports events its free to participate in.

The weekend takes place on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th May 2013

The weekend looks like this:

Saturday:
10am - 4pm
Based at our shop on the Quay in Exeter, right on the canal basin with the River Exe just next door. Although its not salt water its the perfect environment for getting to know the different sea kayaks available. Try a new brand or a different model in a brand you know.

There will be local Sea kayak coaches on hand to give tips on paddling skills (not full coaching sessions though), advice on fitting your boat out and all the info you need on each model from the company representatives.
There will be special offers available on custom sea kayaks, in stock boats and second hand or ex demo (if available).

Brands in attendance:
Valley Sea Kayaks
P+H Sea Kayaks
Northshore
Wilderness Systems
Tiderace
and paddles from
Lettmann
Werner

Sunday:
9.30 - 5pm
We are hosting a Guided Test Tour up the River Exe Estuary from Exmouth.
The event is being hosted by the Exmouth Surf lifesaving club.
Meet at 9.30-10 for an 11am on the water start to catch the tide up to Turf  Locks where we will stop for lunch and return on the ebb tide. Please purchase food and drink from the pub. They are happy for a large number of us to land but have requested no picnicking with your own food.
The lunch stop will give you the opportunity to have a swap about with some different boats before paddling back to the beach at Exmouth for tea, medals and more playing about!

To participate in the Guided Test Tour with one of the demo boats you will need to register at the demo event on the Quay on the Saturday.
