Mike Ratigan – First Wavewalk Kayaks Dealer, Rochester, New York

Since 2004 we’ve been selling our W kayaks directly to clients in the US and abroad.
However, many people have been complaining that we don’t have local dealers where they could see and even test one of our kayaks before buying.

How Mike Ratigan, from Rochester, NY became our first dealer -

Mike loves paddling, and he’s been doing it for many years, until he had reached a point where paddling his common sit-in kayak was no longer a possibility, because it was just too uncomfortable, and too difficult to get into and out of – Read Mike’s kayak review >>
Being a former boat dealer, Mike was a bit skeptical about buying a kayak without first testing it, so he drove all the way from Rochester, NY to Sharon, MA, where he met with us and took a W500 for test drive.
He liked the boat, took one back home, and became a fan of W kayak concept, to a point where he offered to be a local W dealer in Rochester.
Knowing Mike, we decided it was a good opportunity to start expanding our distribution, and Mike became our first dealer.

Mike’s kayak business is called New York Yaks. Mike is waiting for you to call, or email him, and set an appointment with him. Mike will also advise you on outfitting and rigging your new W kayak for fishing.

    Awesome, that will get a lot of people out for a test rides.
    Now if we could get you some dealers down south……………………Look Out!

    A lot of people ask me about the W500 & W300 on kayak sites that range from Canada to the deep south.
    And southern boys and girls would love to test drive these yaks.

    Good Luck with the W’s NY Dealership. :)

    Tight lines, and Paddle safe all.

    So when are South Carolinians going to get a dealer so we can join in the excitement?

    Caleb,
    You’re welcome to order factory direct, as most of our clients still do.
    Our dealers are W kayak fans who decided to resell the product they like -
    Maybe one day you’ll be one of them? :)
