Summer on the Water · Jul 15 by Kurt Peterson
With the onset of summer’s heat and humidity, now is a great time to get out and find some relief on the water. Whether it’s on the river or the lake, I’ve always found the best summer relief with a paddle in my hand and my bow knifing through the water.
And now that we have our (nearly) complete lineup of kayaks and canoes listed online (though not available for purchasing online), you can learn all the features each boat offers and compare models. And we’ve recently made PFD’s, paddles, and paddling accessories available for purchase online.
If any of those boats catch your eye, try before you buy and learn all the subtle differences between each and every model we carry at our area boat demos.
Or if you want to try out a boat on your own schedule, contact your local store to set up an appointment.
If you’ve got the boat and looking to hone those skills, two Blue Ridge stores have certified ACA instructors on staff to teach all the necessary skills of paddling a kayak whether you’re a beginner or veteran. Contact your local store to sign up.
Go on . . . hit the H2O!
