Paul Diener of Northern Light Paddles will be doing a demo day in Memphis this coming Saturday. The closest dealers for these boats are in Wisconsin and the southern tip of Florida, so if you want to try one out, here is your chance!

(I know Paul because I used his paddles in Antarctica in January and he's driving through to pick up the Track boats he used for a recent Amazon tour. This demo day in Memphis is happening because I specifically requested one - I want to try the boat.)

Here's more info about these boats:
