How are we able to make topnotch kayaks from the industry leaders available at such low prices? Well, we come to have used 'yaks on our hands through a number of different channels. Some hail from the showrooms, and may have been paddled once or twice or even never! These show boats sometimes have a scuff or two from being transported from trade show to trade show, but otherwise they might as well be straight off the assembly line. We don't sell these boats as "new," though, so they end up on our bargain racks for the sharp-eyed and budget-conscious to nab for a steal.

Others of our used kayaks for sale have been languishing at Paddlers Cove for too long--passed over for one reason or another. We know, though, that even the most neglected boats in our inventory are top-of-the-line: After all, our company specializes in the most tried-and-true designs as well as the most promising cutting-edge models, and we stand behind the functionality of every single kayak we put up for sale. Because we know the worth of these kayaks that have been hanging around our store for months or years, we want to see them in happy homes, doing what they do best: shuttling paddlers out on the water. So we slash the price!

Similarly, we'll also sometimes put kayaks that we formerly used in our Paddlers Cove classes on the market. When our training fleet becomes too large, or we acquire a newer model to use for instructional purposes, we'll "retire" perfectly good kayaks that have helped countless beginners learn the ropes of steering, self-arrest, and the other basic skills.

We also acquire, from sellers, secondhand kayaks that have certainly seen their fair share of river, lake, or ocean time. Sure, these truly used boats may not be as shiny and smooth as they were the day they left the factory. But that doesn't mean they don't have years of utility still in them. As we like to say, a used kayak is a broken-in kayak: It's proved itself durable and field-worthy, and all it needs is a new owner to keep it in action.
