This forum is run by the good folks at OEX for the community..

Does that mean if we use Hobie products or buy Hobie products from Fastlane we shouldn't be here?


Personally, I find the anti-Hobie bullying, shaming and chest-beating that goes on here to be off-putting. Nobody should try to enforce exclusivity with this kind of ridicule. That's not right and it's self-defeating.

I'll buy my supplies from anyone I like, including Squidco, West Marine and others. Fastlane has always been good to me. So has OEX.


Also, OEX may help support this website, but who contributes most of the content? Answer: the entire kayak fishing community who comes here to participate. OEX should be appreciative of that. They probably are. That shouldn't preclude us from mentioning the F-word.

We all go to events sponsored by lots of companies who want to promote their products. Why not?
