Malibu Kayaks Factory Parking Lot Sale - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

At the last one, I showed up at around noon and scooped up a mini x,seat,tie downs and paddle for my boy for around $250. I had 3 or 4 to chose from but I would definitely go early if you want a specific yak and more choices.

O'side guy and I were second in line. We each picked up a lime and a mango mini-x. Time went by quick and Brent was nice enough to let folks use the bathroom. When. Got home I noticed that my yaks have two different decks. The mango one has flat spaces by the center hatch like a stealth 9 but without the little side hatches. The foot wells have the heel stops though, not flat.
The wife and I are happy to now have two yaks that will stack on top of our Subaru. Thanks Malibu and OEX.

There were a mix of early 2012 models and end of year, changes were made in the molds

I was with MrPatrick 2nd in line. Got a lime green Mini X and a mango Mini X for my Son and Wife. Both of mine have the extra flat space near the center hatch like Patrick was talking about. I like it - more deck space!

It was a great experience and the event was super well organized. Everyone calmly chose their yak and waited for a friendly staff member to help them. Check out was fast and easy and I even got a COD paddle and seat at a great price!

Now I can't wait for my Son to get home to surprise him and let him choose his color!. He was camping with the Scouts this weekend and has no idea I got him his first yak! Thank you to everyone involved!

Thanks again guys! O'sideguys son loves to fish. We took him out on his first yak trip on their tandem. He was so happy with his first fish. I hope to be there on his first solo launch and fishing trip. The look on his face will be priceless. Get it on video and share it.

Thanks chitown! Btw, your wife is a champ! When we got there at around 4:15 am, she was standing by the gate. When we found out she had been there all night we couldn't believe it! She was cracking jokes with us and keeping us laughing while making the time go by faster!

I'm also glad that is seems like, at least with the people we talked to, most were buying for their family, friends, cousins etc. Rather than someone hoarding them all just to make a quick buck on Craig's list.

Damn, wish this was going on when I was down there for a wedding, would have hooked the newlyweds up with a yak as a gift. Those prices are insane
