Perth surf ski demos

Just had an old army mate, who I haven't seen for 25years, drop in to say G'Day and he was fascinated by my surfskis. He's fit and lives near the beach in Perth so I said "mate, you need to be paddling one these"

Can any Perth paddlers shed some light on any demo days or any local races that he could go along and have a look and try?Or maybe a shop that has a range of skis he could try.

He does a lot of travelling so spending a huge amount of time contacting the various dealers probably wouldn't work for him.

Cheers, Craig

Get him to jump on ratherbepaddling.com.au as there are several races coming up that would be ideal for him to see and speak to owners of skis and demo a few. He could also ask questions of the local Perth paddling community about which ski.

Always looking for the next boat :)

Hi Craig.

AR_Convert's idea is a great one.

As well as Adam (Think) and Ash, I've found the guys here Canoes Online really helpful as well.

He just missed a demo day I had at Hillarys on Saturday!!

I'll be down to Bussleton this Saturday and then will schedule another Rockingham/Mandurah day soon.

All details will be posted here; (as well as my contact details)

Alternatively here on the Think AU dealers page;

I can usually organise a one on one demo to suit upon request, as my "normal" work schedule is quite flexible.

Happy to help out where I can :)

He should contact PaddleWest in Mandurah. Run by Mark and Helen Hardie. They can arrange demo's and are real paddling enthusiasts. Highly recommended.
