March On, Wavewalk!
Our kayak sales in March jumped 114% compared to March 2008. This exceeded our best estimates.
We’ll never know what the numbers would have been without the ongoing recession, but they are encouraging even with it, especially considering the slump in the kayak market.
This closes a wonderful first 2009 quarter. As usual for this time of year, Florida and Texas are leading in the number of orders we got, since the paddling and fishing season begins earlier in these two big southern states.
As far as the website, we had 14,000 individuals visit it in March, which is a little over 60% more than we had in March of last year.
We make this information public for the sake of the W-kayak fans who keep track of what’s going on with their favorite boat.

It’s nice to read this, congratulations!
What color do people order the most, and what model is the most popular?

Thanks Marco,
Amazingly, between yellow and green there is no color that’s more popular.
The most popular model so far this year is the F2E, followed by the TRE and STR.

Congratulations on the growth sir. I’m sure it will continue. As more and more folks see a W on the water and hear about the advantages it will keeping taking market share from the sit on top style fishing kayaks. So the W paddles on despite a bad economy because it works. Besides what other kayak firm has a website with as much real world honest reporting and comments as this one.
