Desert River Outfitters
takes pride in offering the most comprehensive selection of kayaks and canoes
for purchase on the lower Colorado River. We have a policy of try before you
buy so feel free to take us up on this policy. We also have a good selection of
accessories to get you on the river. Although we don't have a big or fancy
store, we do believe in offering reasonable prices on quality paddling
gear.
In our line of boats, we
offer several brands from Johnson Outdoors but we specialize in the
Ocean Kayak sit-on-top. We
are the only stocking dealer for O.K. in Arizona and try to have at least one
of each model available to demo or purchase. We have found over time that O.K.
provides an excellent way to enter the world of paddling and they have
something to offer everyone. We have introduced people to the sport that would
not think about it by showing them how user friendly and fun
Ocean Kayak boats are. If
it's a sit-on-top you're looking for gives us a call and let us help get you
into a boat that fits, and will do what you want it to do.
Old Town is another brand
of boat we carry. While we don't stock a lot of their boats we can offer advice
and help recommend a boat in their line that will fit your
needs.
Are you looking for canoe
that helps bring back memories of your youth learning to paddle at summer camp
or river trips as a scout? We have aluminum canoes from
Osage Canoes of Lebanon
Missouri available. Their boat has been manufactured for almost 50 years under
several names but with some of the same employees that helped build a boat that
has become a classic. We have 17' double enders in stock and available at a
very reasonable price. This is a boat that will last a lifetime. Osage also
makes trailers and accessories and has pricing for boat packages that scout
troops or other groups can take advantage of. Contact us for more information
on a high quality aluminum canoe.
While we don't carry a
lot of accessories we have basic high quality gear that is reasonably priced
and we use ourselves. We carry such lines as
Northwest River Supplies,
Werner Paddles (the
best), Mohawk paddles, http://www.oceankayak.comOcean Kayak, Old Town and Mountain
Surf in paddling gear. We sell Quick-n-Easy brackets and have foam blocks and
saddles from Rubber Rope products to help you transport your kayak or canoe. We
also carry Thule Sport
Racks and can accomodate most vehicles.
In order to help you look
good or feel good on the river we carry Teva Sandals, Ultimate Hats and the
Desert
River Outfitters T-shirts. During the winter months, we also try to have
fleece jackets by Riverbirch and socks from Wyoming Woolens. Even though this
is the desert we still have cool temperatures and need to stay
warm.
If its information you
need we have books and videos available. We also carry Paddler and Canoe and
Kayak magazine and invite you to come and browse through our selection of
reading material.
If we have failed to
mention something you need, feel free to call and ask for it. If we don't have
it, chances are we can get it, or direct you to the right
source. |
