Looking for Ocean kayak dealers

Having a hard time finding a dealer that deals OKs locally or close to local as can be. Tried Cabelas and REI, they seemed dazed, confused and lost as to what I was asking or referring to. We are looking for a Trident or possibly the Ultra. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance........Josh.

I don't find it surprising that the folks at both Cabelas and REI had no clue what you were talking about, something tells me they don't see many kayak anglers.  It is a bit of a drive but Next Adventure Paddle Sports Center in Portland should be able to help you out.

If you ever make it up to Portland, Next adventure is a pretty great resource.

Edit-What Nate said

There are several OK reps on the site, they should chime in soon

REI and Cabelas can order you some Ocean Kayak models, but their staff is pretty clueless about fishing kayaks.

Next Adventure in Portland is probably your best bet for knowledge staff. Their onsite selection of Ocean Kayak is sometimes a bit limited, but they can order you anything fairly quickly.

Outdoor Play in Hood River has a decent selection and knowledable staff.  They only have an online presence with free shipping.   If you know what you want, it will save you a drive.

Tumalo Creek Kayak and Canoe in Bend also carries Ocean Kayak and I've done at least one staff training event there earlier this year.  Given that Portland is just as close for you, I'd go with Next Adventure.
