| - Rutabaga, What is it?
It's the ultimate personal powered watercraft store I've ever seen. Gear, boats of all shapes, styles, sizes and pricepoints, clothing, even racks to put them on your vehicle! They might even carry bicycle racks.
A word about racks: There are A LOT of fitment issues with racks. No salesperson can know all details about all vehicle fitments and your personal quirks. Their information on many vehicles has to be based on product fitment catalogs, the same catalogs that you as a consumer have access to online. Inform yourself and don't expect a kayak/canoe store salesperson to know all the in's and out's of your particular vehicle and how it works with a bike rack. How's the Thule fit my 79 ? Will it squeek? Derp.
I recieved total personal attention when I chose to buy a kayak. I tried out no less than 8 boats to find one that fit me, my paddling goals and my price range. I purchased a boat, paddle, PFD, and a rack system. I was personally helped by various individuals to help me decide on all of these items. I was helped to install my rack for the first time and shown how to safely tie off my kayak.
These folks WANT you to come back and thier service shows that. If it floats? I'm buying it at Rutabaga. They earned my respect and my patronage.
Paddle on!
