Hi Erez, I looked around a bit and came up with........North Texas Canoes, 1616 Whitlock Lane, STE. C , Carrolton, TX 75011 (972) 245-7475. They sell cnaoes and kayaks from mfrs like Old Town, Prijon and such. I think they even have rentals. Their email is: ntcanoes@flash.net There is also a paddle club in the Dallas area..I'll post it if I find a contact. Carrolton is a suburb of Dallas.....if you've never been to Dallas.......it just all seems to run together down there. You should be able to find some of the stuff your looking for while you are there.

Ice Skates???????? Only ice in Dallas is in your tea! No, really....try a public ice rink........they usually have a "pro-shop" of some sort. Check the Yellow pages when you get there. Don't forget to pack your Stetson and your Tony Lama boots.......or just buy 'em when you get there. Check out the West End when you're there. Dallas is neat, but too big for me to be comfortable in. I'll stay up here in the "North" country (Oklahoma) Good luck, garland
