Anybody got the name of that place?They downsized and moved into the corner store (Grayton Market). I don't know if they kept the name, "Yellow Fin." Now, they don't carry the clothing and accessories. They do carry fishing stuff and they rent and sell kayaks.

I was looking for an Ocean Kayak dealer and they ain't anymore

I was looking for an Ocean Kayak dealer and they ain't anymoreThey are still selling them. Maybe once they ditch their inventory, they are out. That store doesn't sell many of them at all judging from what I see on the shelves from last year. Note, they do have several new models on display and in storage. This is their second store. If they no longer are able to sell ones models that you want, call Marlese, owner of the Kayak Experience in Destin, and she will set you up. Her contact info is:

Man I saw the pictures. I couldn't believe it.
I've always wanted a kayak to take my bait way out into the gulf. I saw some pics of a guy fighting a bullshark from a kayak and it kinda discouraged me though. I'd probably wind up in Cuba and I don't speak no spain.

Although this one, the Sidekick, might be more my line. Those molded cup holders might be just the thing...;-) ...for a sunset cruise on the lake!

I'm going to ask Santa to bring me one of them for Christmas.

I just want one for tooling around with the kids and wife. And good exercise / practice for rowing muscles

That's why we want one, too. Here, take a look at this shop in Destin. Their kayak department is funn to browse through. When we're back down to the beach next time we'll probably stop by and talk to them. We fell in love with kayaking this year! If you do the math, you can see that it really doesn't make a whole lot of sense to keep on renting them, not if you plan to take a kayak out every time you go to SoWal (like we do).
