Probably the best independent full-service kayak shop left in Montreal. Great selection of sea kayaks and whitewater boats, from beginner-priced to high-end stuff. They're constantly refining the product mix and adding/dropping lines, so you're sure of up-to-date merchandise any given year. They also carry a couple of very serious brands of paddles, which is nice because most stores that sell high-performance kayaks tend to stock mid-grade paddles at best. Small but well-chosen inventory of life-jackets, skirts, kayak carts, and safety accessories rounds out their kayak offerings.
Courteous, knowledgeable, bilingual staff who are all practitioners, ease of road access and parking, and modern business hours combine with the lines they carry to make these guys my go-to kayak outfitters. No question is too dumb for this bunch- you get an answer, not a snicker. Didn't buy my boat from them, but a buttload of my accessories came from there, and will probably continue to. read more
