Our On the water Demo Days Have finished up for the year.
However, there is still time while the water hasn’t frozen over yet. If you are still interested in having a private demo for a canoe or kayak, reach out to us and we’ll setup a private demo at Graco Park here in Minneapolis, near the shop.

WHAT TO EXPECT
About Demo Days
Our demo events are designed as an open-house format, so you’re welcome to arrive anytime during the scheduled demo window. We recommend arriving with enough time to explore multiple boat models, as equipment may be shared throughout the event.
When submitting your RSVP, please select your preferred date and your top two boat models. Additional comments or requests can be included in the notes section, though availability may vary by event.
