Great Outdoor Provision Co. will be offering small, informal canoe and kayak demonstrations at Lake Crabtree County Park. This is a great opportunity to try before you buy, that boat you saw in our shop in an environment that is instructional, informational, and informal. Our Thursday Afternoon Demos are geared towards customers who have already narrowed down their choices after visiting one of our shops and feel that some on-water time prior to purchase is necessary. Though we usually bring an assortment of boats, we generally focus on bringing demo models that have been specifically requested by customers. Please let us know in advance if there is a particular boat in our demo fleet you would like to try and we will do our best to get it to the lake. Please note that if a boat is not in our demo fleet, we will not be able to bring it to the event.

We do not have room in our trailer to load all the demo boats in our fleet. Therefore, if you plan to come to one of our Thursday Afternoon Demos, please let us know in advance so we can do our best to meet your expectations at the event. Call (919) 833-1741 (Raleigh), (919) 847-2722 (N. Raleigh), (919) 933-6148 (Chapel Hill) or (919) 286-9201 (Durham) for more info. Be sure to leave your name and number so we can verify your request after checking our available demo inventory.
