Pink flamingos pulling a kayak on the front lawn???

I LOVE IT!  It is sooo tacky.  I'm sure my neighbors' kids would love it and our condo commandos aren't as bad as Marinell's - especially since I was voted in because no one else showed up to the last meeting!

Now, if I can only work up the courage to buy pink flamingos....

The Paradise Paddlers did a last minute "decorate your boat" and paddled near the Key Largo boat parade this year.  Next year they want to actually join the parade.  

I already bought some after-xmas 75%-off decorations and battery-operated lights.  Now I'll have to see what other decorations I can pick up cheap to do a front lawn thing.

Of course, I'll need a red boat, so maybe Marinell can be persuaded to sell me back the wee red Kiwi Lobo......

Does anyone have ideas or photos/descriptions of similar holiday displays with a kayaking theme?  

Bet a whole bunch of you bought the neat paddling/camping/birding xmas ornaments that came out. 

 Wyoming River Raiders had them on the back of their catalog for $7 - $6 if you bought four or more.  A friend gave me a sea kayak ornament, and I rushed to buy the paddle, PFD, backpack, & binoculars.  Paid $7.99.   

Then I went to Florida Bay Outfitters and they had them for $5.99...only had a very few left. So I bought the dome tent. They also make a WW kayak in the series.
