Deals found (NOT "For Sale"-- that is further down the page)
This is a forum for sharing deals found with other members. Sales, special deals- anything, so long as it's related to kayaking. (Thanks to Tsunami Chuck for the idea)

This is NOT the place for advertising your own products for sale! Anyone doing that will, of course, be defenestrated without warning.
