I did buy a kayak this year, but not from OEX, sorry. I have nothing against OEX at all, but there are two reasons I didn't.

First, I live inland quite a ways, it is a long drive to get there.

Second, when I first considered getting into kayaking I found Tim at Dana Point Jet Ski. He let me take different kayaks out to try and was very helpful, so I bought it from him (still have it BTW). He also gave me advice on how to fish at DP, where and when. I am the type of person who tends to stay with a place if they are good and treat me well.

Again, nothing against OEX, just DP is closer and treats me well. I do however on occasion order stuff for my kayak from them.
