http://www.clavey.com ...Petaluma - Great guys but not fisherman. I try to help them frequently with their fishermen customers who are looking to get into the sport. They have Wilderness,Ocean Kayak and several other touring yaks.

Good place to get Kayaks in the Northern Bay area. I met John at the Fred Hall show and once prior to that. I got my kayaks (well "paddleboat" for all you "paddlers) from him at a good price and he threw in a bunch of extra stuff. A long ride from Sunnyvale, but well worth it IMHO.

Hey, I just wanted to let you guys know we are a Hobie, Ocean Kayak, and Old Town dealer. We also rent hobie kayaks. Single and tandem. You can check our our latest prices at http://www.melcottons.com

If you stop by, ask for Josh or John, they are our experts! -Zack

We also rent hobie kayaks. Singles and tandems.

Does this mean that you have more than just the one Outback and one Outfitter?  I was in a couple weeks ago wanting to rent 2 single-person Hobies but was told you only had the one Outback.  Might you add more to your fleet - possibly an Adventure, Revolution or Sport?  Often I want to invite more than one person out with me and don't want to have them on a tandem.

Thanks

Great shop in Livermore - Sunrise Mountain Sports
http://www.sunrisemountainsports.com

I bought my OK Caper from them, and Phil gave me a great deal (if you rent a kayak, they'll use your rental fee towards a new yak purchase)

They do take-away kayak rentals from their store and also run a rental shack/concession stand at lake Del Valle during Spring/Summer/early Fall
They hold a kayak demo day every year in May

Does this mean that you have more than just the one Outback and one Outfitter? 

You are right. We do only have one of each. We are looking to expand our fleet. We are actually trying to decide if we want to expand to the Hobie non fishing kayaks. Unfortunatley this requires us to purchase 15 units which is quite a large initial order. We are not sure if the local market is ready to expand quite yet, but next year we are updating our entire line of rentals so we will decide then. What do you guys think?

Whatever you do, do not buy your kayak from 'Adventure Sports' in Sacramento.  

They suck big time!!!

How so? Just curious.

I've read several posts on Craigslist about them. They seem to be known for advertising a kayak on sale then when the buyer goes in the kayak is no longer on sale. They tell the buyer that they only had one at that price and it already sold. They then offer the identical kayak for more than their advertised price. They also run non-stop postings about their alledged sales.

Eric you should take the time to set the Sacramento store up with kayak fishing information and equipment.. They are good people, have a ton of fishing gear, Thursday evening speakers + a free spool of line, though not much in the line of kayak fishing.

I am just getting back into fishing and will start Hobie Mirage kayaking (bad shoulder) so why not do both.
