If you’re a paddler and you’ve never checked out
REI’s online paddling section, you’ve been missing out. There are reams of useful information here about everything
paddle-related, from boats, to spray skirts to,
dry bags and so on. As a native West coaster, I have to say I favor REI over its right coast equivalent,
EMS, though both are good. Still, I just like the philosophy behind the REI brand
(it’s a coop) and I’ve always found the people who work in the stores immensely well-informed. So, anyway, just thought
if there were any paddlers out there, they might be interested in taking a look at the REI site.
