This is better than buying and I phone, I'd rather have a Kayak than a cloudy phone.

There was a sale a couple of months ago so it seems they will have them when Malibu has to many blems in the warehouse.

We showed up at 8:20am and just about everything was picked over already. People were grabbing tags from yaks they may not even want just to make sure they get something.

We stuck around for a little while as once the crowd started to dwindle they would bring out another yak from the back and the first person in the alternate line had the option to take it. If he didn't want it then the next person had the choice to take it.

I was looking for an S12 or S14 and luckily one became available and scored it. I was like the 10th person in line.

Also a side note...If you bring cash you can get out very quickly as most people have credit cards and could take an hour to get through that line. The cash line was 1 or 2 people.

You will also want to pick up a paddle and seat so bring a few extra bucks.

The cc terminal from hell last sale! We had to run cards 3 times for them to stick..........super frustrating, we are having the phone company look at the issue today.............hopefully it gets fixed!.

We will have deals on seats and paddles, tie downs and soft roof racks

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.

Is a champ. lol first off i want to say a huge thank you to Andy and the OEX gang at this event. They were on top of it and kept every thing as organized as possible for something so similar to a black Friday sale. Now on to my wife who has decided that she wants to start kayak fishing

with me. Ironic the week after she decides this THE SALE HITS lol. Anyways we talk about it she looks at all the kayaks for sale, colors and all and decides she wants a blue Stealth 12. As the days go by she keeps reading about how in the past people got there way early and such and that if you want a good selection to get there early. I think her early and everyone else's early was way off lol. She told me im going down there at 12AM im like hunny i think you can go at 2 or 3 and still be fine to get what you want her reply was NOPE IM GOING AT 12AM my answer was YES DEAR. anyways i fall asleep at 8pm due to being on call i wake up at 10 and what the heck she is gone call her up where you at her reply im waiting in line for my kayak how many people are there NONE

.. any how she calls me at 7am get down here i need your help now im concerned and am like with what did you get robbed did someone push you out of line what. No they have colors that they didnt list online and I cant decide what i want OMG . well any ways as we were waiting to get in Andy comes buy and says leave the tags on the kayaks and a worker will get it for you ( she had already picked hers out when they carryed it out of the where house) as she waited for the guy to get the tag for her another person tried to get her tag but Andys staff

Aahh too bad. She should have got the blue one. It's faster and it would have brought out the color in here eyes!

Congrats and good luck getting along on the water.

Hi Andy, we've been emailing about the Oasis vs Outfitter..
I'm wondering if this parking lot sale is happening again sometime soon? I'm interested in getting a Mini-X, probably in addition to one of the Hobie Tandems. Thanks..

Have not heard anything from Malibu Kayaks on the possibility of the next one.
