Pungo Blem Sale

We have managed to hoard a few Wilderness Systems Pungo 100 and Pungo 120 blem kayaks .  A blem kayak is cosmetically imperfect, so we get them at a lower price than first quality boats.  Blems paddle like first quality boats, and often we can't find the imperfections.  

While supplies last, Pungo 100 Blems are $499 (regularly $625) and Pungo 120 Blems are $599 (regularly $775).  These are our two most popular kayak models, and they won't last long!  Buy one now and we'll store it for you until June.

SmartWool - You Can't Beat Nature
Sailors, farmers and sheep have known for centuries that wool is the perfect fiber for keeping warm and dry.  SmartWool updates this classic to produce a comfortable fabric unmatched in its ability to regulate moisture and temperature while being odor free, itch free and machine washable.

SmartWool is a good thermo-regulator and reduces clammy conditions.  It keeps you warm in cool weather, and cool in warm weather - perfect for many Michigan days.  Best of all, this fiber was produced by happy, healthy sheep rather than in a petroleum refinery.

Check-out SmartWool shirts in micro and light weights.  These shirts are perfect for keeping you cool and comfortable while hiking, biking, sailing and kayaking.

Die Another Day
complimentary DVD w/boat purchase

We're all about having fun, but we try not to let stupidity get in the way.  After all, we hope to be paddling, hiking, climbing and enjoying the outdoors for many years to come.  We can't stress safety enough, especially on the water and rock.  This year we'll offer a "Safety, Comfort and Organization" DVD and safety checklist (on waterproof paper) to customers buying a new boat.

The DVD was produced by Northwater, a company that "develops practical solutions for aquatic endeavors".  It highlights sea kayaking, white water kayaking and canoeing, and provides useful information for paddlers of all skill levels.

If you already have a boat, stop in and ask for a copy of the DVD and checklist.  We want you to be our customers (and friends) for many years to come.  www.northwater.com
