Have you heard the hype? Point 65 Kayaks
Point 65 Kayaks from Sweden have recently arrived at Alberni Outpost and we are blown away by how big of a hit they are!
Point 65 Kayaks are portable kayaks that are anything but a hassle. Release a buckle of each side and presto! instant release and small enough to fit in the back of an SUV or apartment building elevator.
 The Martini is easy to handle in and out of the water. With Point 65īs innovative Snap-Tap system (patent pending), the single-seater snaps apart and re-assembles in seconds for a kayak that is comfortable, stable, and strong making it by far the most easy to carry recreational kayak on the market.
To take a look at more Point 65 kayaks Click here and come in and see us at any of our locations! There's sure to be a Point 65 kayak to fit your lifestyle!

The On-Going Saga of a Novice Kayak Fisherman and Confessed Fishing Nut
I'm cool.
I've always been cool.
Why, when you look "cool" up in the dictionary, you'll find my picture. The picture of... cool.
I went stock-car racing once. I was cool.
I went sky-diving once. I was very cool.
I went bungee-jumping once. I was particularly cool.
I hooked into a monster salmon, played it, landed it and released it without the least bit of excitement. Excitement is not cool. I am cool.
