One man's rush to jump on the kayaking bandwagon

Kayaks at the lumberyard

Heath, Jean and I drove up to the Appomattox River Company in Farmville, VA. It wasn't at all what I expected. It looks like its in an old lumber yard. Stacks of lumber have been replaced with stacks of kayaks, still in their shipping wrappers. Its a great place to go if you want to pick up a new kayak, but if you're just browsing, its a bit of a disappointment.

The main "showroom" is very small, but it seems that everything you could ever want is "in a box upstairs somewhere". I got a skirt, Jean got a new paddle, and Heath got a new drybag.
