Description: Join REI experts at Vancouver Lake to splash around in 2012's hottest new boats, stand up paddleboards and paddling accessories. We will provide all the gear, including paddles and PFDs (Personal Flotation Devices) so you can check out the latest designs from Dagger, Perception, Old Town, Mad River, Wilderness Systems, A.T. Paddles, Bomber Gear and more. Whether you're a beginner or experienced paddler, this is a great opportunity to test the waters and take advantage of free paddling classes run by REI staff, REI Outdoor School Instructors and our vendors. All you need to bring are your personal necessities, shoes that can get wet and the willingness to try something new. Best of all, the whole day is free! All attendees will receive one coupon for 15% off the purchase of a new boat, plus get 15% off paddles and PFDs upon purchase of a boat. Exclusions apply. Want to try out a boat? Paddlers of all skill levels are invited to REGISTER for free boat demos. See http://www.rei.com/portland for available time slots.

For those of you who live elsewhere, check with your local REI for a similar event at a lake near you.

Are you working this event Brian?

I still haven't had a chance to talk to the Ocean Kayak rep about it, but yeah I should be there with a new Ultra 4.3 for folks to gawk at.
