Best place to check out Kayaks?

Looking at Jackson, Nucanoe and KC. Would like something to fit two, possibly three so I can take my kids out every once in awhile.

I'd rather a kayak. wouldn't be fishing with the kids. Just paddling around. I think something like the Big Tuna would fit my needs.

I didnt see one on the floor and no one seemed eager to help when I went by.

You definitely get that feeling at the Massey's in B.R.; it's like the whole upstairs area was an afterthought and none of the staff seem to like climbing stairs!

I hear the store down in New Orleans and in Slidell are the complete opposite and their service is top notch. Backpacker has excellent customer service and most of the staff is knowledgeable about the products they sell. Unfortunately for you, Backpacker doesn't carry Jackson or Nucanoe.

Massey's doesn't carry Nucanoe's either; to look at them, you will have to take a trip over to Lafayette. (Pack and Paddle) Good news is that it is worth the trip; knowledgeable staff and they hold weekly demos (by appointment)to help you narrow it down. They carry both the kayaks you are thinking about, so my suggestion would be to give them a call, let them know which ones you are thinking about and then head over there Saturday morning and try them out!

Thanks, I think i'm gonna head to Pack and Paddle this weekend.
