This is an outrage. Some people have no kayaks. Some of us only buy a kayak when the one we own is stolen. I am writing my Congressman and Senator and demanding a "Kayak, Canoe, and Boat Re-distribution Law" which will provide for fair and equitable allotment of this precious national recreation resource. I am also applying for a position and grant as the official US kayak re-distribution manager. Someone has to take all those kayaks and test them so that they can be re-distributed to the proper end users. I think most kayaks could be adequately tested in 2-3 months, but that Mariner Coaster would require at least 3-4 years of testing due to its unique design features. I will leave the canoe and boat testing to other agencies with more qualified individuals. If you are interested in employment with the US Kayak Redistribution Agency please e-mail me a resume. Multiple kayak ownership is neither a plus or minus. However proof of severe kayak lust such as pictures showing you drooling as you look at the demo beach at a kayak symposium or divorce papers naming a kayak dealership as responsible for alienation of affections would be helpful in obtaining a position.
