Re: not happy with my kayak

Having done vast amounts of kayaking myself, I totally understand the frustration of buying one which is not fit for the purpose for which you bought it.

I've attached a link to another thread I started a day or two ago about returning goods, hopefully you'l find it helpful. If not, just post back up and we'll find one that is:
