Sun Sep 28, 2014 2:24 pm We spotted what looked like a great little water sports shop just down from Lymington High Street on the way to the IoW ferry terminal so popped in to have a shifty after Dubs in the Forest.
They have a huge range if all sorts of water sports equipment small and large and we were looking some advice to have a proper look at some small (short) sea kayaks.
Small so that it would fit inside Tallulah if needed and not be too heavy, but also with a reasonable performance on river/lake/sea.
The very helpful chap gave us some good advice and let us try one for size, gave us a discount on the ex display one we'd just tried in T so we didn't bother taking it out again.
We're gonna need a bigger shed.....

Trips to water sports shops are recipe for wallet-hit if ever there was one. Congrats.

We bought a Yak Ocean Kayak which is 2.4m long.
