Here in the San Juaquin Valley, there aren't any kayak shops that I know of. This is still considered desert, and most of what you see around are power boats and jetskies. There is one shop that I know of that sells some plastic canoes and kayaks but nothing that will work for me. I do have a friend that has a Roto-Molded job and it's a 14 footer and is pretty cramped for two. So, I'll just play it by ear and try some of what Paul mentioned.

I did see two cars the other day with Coleman style canoes on top. Passing through on the highway. Guess I'll have to break some ground here. Thanks for your input!

How's paddling out your way? Still looking for something else to build?
