How to buy a kayak
It made me
ecstatic!
 "Found a good deal on craigslist and pounced on it!"
How I did it: Ever since I took a class on kayaking a few years ago I decided that I had to get my own. They're quite pricey though, so I kept my eyes open for good deals on used boats. Lessons & tips: If you're looking for a used boat, check craigslist! But be ready; if someone posts a good deal, it goes quickly, so check back often! |

It made me
How I did it: Saw a deal, and pounced on it. Don't worry too much about the $$, they have good resale, not that you're going to sell it :)Also, don't be afraid to go used - as long as the plastic/fibreglass is sound, the rest of the gear is easy enough to replace. They're meant to pounding and having fun with, and having a pre-scratched one is actually a good thing! Read how I did it…

How I did it: My company gives us 5- and 10-year appreciation gifts--we can pick anything we want from a pre-selected list/catalog. My co-worker didn't see anything he wanted so he let me pick. I chose the 12' lake kayak. It arrived in the mail. Voila! Read how I did it…

Best purchase ever!
How I did it: I saved my money from and waited for the early spring Old Town Canoe and Kayak Sale. We had a heavy snowstorm that day (Maine!), but I drove home with 3 kayaks tied to the top of my Subaru wagon. Read how I did it…

After looking through prices on the internet for kayaks, I have made up my mind that I will need to buy a used one. Brand new kayaks can easily go for 1,000.00 and I just don’t have that kinda dough. I love to kayak but I am just not at a pro kayak level yet by any means. It would just be a leisure activity around here in the summertime so I will not need anything too fancy. I will just need to shop around more before purchasing.

I went this weekend for the first time and I loved it. It was so easy to paddle and faster than a canoe. Maybe this will be a next summer cross off my list
etherealessence is such a lucky girl!

We are not going to purchase a kayak anytime soon since we just bought another stand up paddle board! In time, my husband and I are planning to get a kayak though. There was recently a great sale on them, but we weren’t fast enough to get in on it. But later on we will have yet another water toy :D

When I was younger, a friend and I had a couple of ocean-going kayaks that we used to navigate many of our waterways here in British Columbia. We had so much funny. I miss that.

Is the price of the kayak I’d like to have. Hopefully, I’ll be able to come across one as cheap as the one I found for JNW. I hope to have the money for it by next summer.
mecando is fabulous

I bought a chair for my living room instead of a kayak. And I had it upholstered too which, of course, costs more money. Where are my priorities anyway! (sigh)
A gift..

For our anniversary I’m buying JNW one. It’s only going to be $150 because it’s slightly used. I figure I can borrow his every once in a while…but I enjoy doing it in the company of others…
At least I’ll eventually have a new one to look forward to? I don’t know.
Loved it...

I went kayaking on my camping trip, and loved it! My boyfriend and I now both want one. My element can be equipped with a kayak rack, so I’m all the more excited to save up and get one.
I think it’ll be great for a workout for the summer. I run during the cooler months. Kayaking during the hotter months will be a great balance I think. :)
