We have two fishing kayaks for auction. Bid now right here in this thread, or contact me via PM. Bidding will end 1 hour after the awards ceremony starts, expected to be around 1 pm but could be as late as 2pm.
A Malibu X-Factor w/ 4 rod holders from OEX Oceanside. This proven fishing machine is a minor blem, but that just means you can take it home for less. Openning bid $600 please. That's about a $200 discount. (not as pictured, no rudder)
Also for bid, a Pelican Strike Elite 130 fishing kayak - complete with rudder! This is a lower-capacity but nimble craft, a barely used demo model. Yours for as little as $400!
Need a paddle? How about a premium Warner Corryvrecken carbon fiber stick complete with leash, courtesy of David Schroeder? This is top of the line - start the bidding at $200 please.
For shore-side fun we have a Kickbike City Cruiser from Kickbike America. Open at $100
