I havn't heard of the brand or the store. I'm in Chicago so around here Walmart and Menards carry some cheaper brand called Dolphin Kayaks. Dicks sporting goods carrries something called Pelican and Costo carries a brand called Lifetime which I think may be the same as Dolphin.

What area of the country are you in if you dont mind my asking? I'm hoping to take my kayaks up to the Upper Peninsula in Michigan sometime soon, paddle out by pictured rocks.
