My hubby and have driven past this place many times since moving to the area in Dec '11. Finally stopped by to inquire about kayak rentals, lessons, etc. Nobody in the store except us, the guy behind the counter & a friendly old golden lab. We mentioned we were new to the area and interested in taking up kayaking. The guy briefly looked up from his computer to hand us a rental price sheet. We asked a couple questions about the differences in the types of kayaks and without hardly looking up, he said we could look at them in the showroom. After spending 10 min strolling around, asking ourselves questions we couldn't answer, we went back to the counter to ask him the difference between a "touring" & "recreational" kayak he gave a quick answer and said there was one out front (double recreational). We went outside and got in the car. I'm not sure what was so engaging on that computer that he couldn't take a 10 min break to assist prospective customers, but it must have been very important. Not sure we will go back, even if this is the only game in Redmond. read more
