Free Shipping on all Kayaks at AltrecHave to act quick on this one, but all kayaks are being shipped for free at Altrec.com through June 27th, 2008.
If you’ve been putting off making your purchase, this is the time to do it, as Altrec has great pricing to begin with, you might not have to pay sales tax, and they’re shipping for free, which is one of the bigger expenses in buying a kayak online.

Shaw and Tenney Paddles

May 12th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Kayaking News

Was reading Canoeandkayak.com today, and saw this gem:

Shaw & Tenney, the oldest manufacturer of oars and paddles in the U.S. and the third oldest manufacturer of marine products, turns 150 this year. Started in 1858 as a water-powered manufacturer on the Stillwater River in Orono, Maine, the company has moved twice within the same town and changed owners only three times.

I spent about a year in Orono, fishing the Penobscot River, and digging ditches. So Maine, and all of it’s good companies, will always hold a special place in my heart.  Old Town included.
