Great Outdoor Provision Co. will be offering small, informal canoe and kayak demonstrations conveniently located near some of our busiest shops. 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.

Here are the steps to sign up for the demo:

1. Contact the local shop to sign up for the boat demo.
2. 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.
3. Please note that if a boat is not in our demo fleet, we will not be able to bring it to the event.
4. In the event of severe weather, check back to this site on morning of demo day to make sure the demo is still scheduled.
