You wouldn’t buy a car without driving it.  Trying a kayak out is just as important!  Our free weekly demos allow you to try different kayaks to get the perfect stability, comfort and performance.

Weekly Demos:

Pack & Paddle hosts a FREE demo every week, year-round, on a sign-up basis. These demos are a great way to zero in on the perfect boat for you. Call 337-232-5854 to sign up for our next demo!

Weekly Demo Schedule: Our weekly demo is every Saturday morning at 8am at Vermilionville Pond, located at 300 Fisher Rd. in Lafayette. Free! Call 337-232-5854 to sign up!

Pack & Paddle’s unique GearMentor program can be utilized on-water during our weekly demo:

An additional option our customers have is to set an appointment to have a GearMentor meet you at the demo to help you fine tune your choices on the water.

Discuss the pros and cons of the stability of each craft that you demo. Understand the importance of glide vs. stability.

Analyze the features that would match your paddling locations, distances and conditions.

Compare specific features head to head on boats you are considering buying. Understand how these features may or may not benefit your planned use.

Get info on local kayak fishing destinations.

Learn the intricate details of what to look for when comparing all the models of pedal kayaks.
