WE HAVE YAKTRAX; Instant slip-on traction for
snow and ice covered surfaces, very inexpensive
and durable, we also now carry Yaktrax Multi-Sport
socks. Check them out at the link below or
www.yaktrax.com.

Just in! We are proud to announce that we have
just acquired the area's Riot/Azul Kayak and
Emotion Kayak distributorship's.

We have also just bought a trailer and will be starting
next season what we will call the "Bantam Shuttle" this
will be a prepaid shuttle that will drop off Kayaks and
Canoes to the launch spots on the Bantam River and
Lake.  Here's how it will work; renters will prepay via
phone with a credit card and their boats will be
delivered and picked up at a set time. This shuttle is a
result of many customer requests for this service, we
are very excited about this new, upcoming service (a
boat inspection sheet, waiver and assumption of risk along with
a statement of responsibility are all required to be signed by all
parties renting).

Thank you for your continued support and for the many
that made us their choice year. Who said that a Paddle
sports warehouse would not work in Connecticut? It
certainly does and we will continue to adjust our prices
to give our customers the best possible pricing on the
best equipment that we can offer. Please visit
Wilderness Systems Kayak, Heritage Kayak, Mad River
Canoe, Emotion Kayak, Riot / Azul Kayak's web sites to
learn more about their diverse and functional boat
lines.  We also carry PaddleBoy Carts for easy transport
of your kayak or canoe. We'll be glad to order any boats
or accessories that the following manufacturers
produce if we do not currently have them in stock.
Delivery is always available. Please call the store at 860-
