Abby is extremely helpful and supportive. Bill was able to name just about every bird out on the Delta this morning. We saw a couple of Great Horned Owls, many, many fowl and my favorite was looking up at the dozens of flocks of birds heading who knows where (Bill knew). The picture you see is the point where we turned around and paddled back to the dock. I call that photo The Bridge to Nowhere. read less

I wanted a lighter sit on top kayak that I could load and unload by myself, that I could take our small dog out on, fish from it and also use it for work - it's a long list of wants for not wanting to spend an exorbitant amount of money on . We had heard of Headwater Kayaks, but hadn't been into the shop yet. Then we ran into them at the outdoor expo!

Josh immediately told me to check out the Crescent Ultralight, which is perfect for smaller adults (I'm 5'1") or big kids and the price point is fantastic! I went home kept researching and looking at other kayaks and just couldn't beat the price and weight of the Crescent, which also meets all my wants!

Today I went in and I have to say it was an amazing buying experience! I mentioned to Josh that he's who inspired me about the Crescent Ultralight and I'd love to get all geared up with a paddle as well as a PFD. Josh and everyone there was incredibly patient and knowledgeable! I probably tried on 10-13 different PFDs, short torso making it a more difficult fit, and Josh just kept making suggestions, highlighting the positives and negatives of each PFD until I finally found the right one. Since I was buying the kayak, paddle and PFD he gave me a great deal, helped me load up all my new treasures and off I went!

Love supporting small local businesses and I love it even more when they have amazing customer service and people working there! Thanks guys! I will definitely be back! read less

About 15 of us launched our kayaks from the fabulous boat launch--the best I've ever seen--from the dock and paddled for 2 hours on a 4-mile trip. The weather was beautiful, the river wound through vineyards and other beautiful scenery, the guides/staff were great and provided tasty snacks! Couldn't have been better. I plan to add this monthly tour to my kayak to-do list! read less
