Ocean River Sports Gear Up in Victoria, BC - March 17th & 18th

Next week I will be heading to Vancouver Island for 4 or 5 days to do some dealer visits and clinics.  The highlight will be attendance at the Annual Ocean River Sports Gear Up in Victoria, BC on Saturday March 17th. 

Great deals will be had as there always are.  Folks line-up as staff frantically do the final set up in the a.m.  When it's SHOW TIME all that waiting is worth it when they find the gear to get themselves on the water safely and comfortably.

I will be there representing Kokatat Watersports Wear and Werner Paddles.  Please stop by to say hello, do some shopping and mention this blogpost.
