Clients who wish to see a W kayak before ordering one have two more places where they can do it: One is in Kent, Ohio, located near Akron, at the northeastern corner of the state, and the second is in New Berlin, in central Pennsylvania.

Maiden Offshore Voyage and Wheels For W500 Fishing Kayak – Ken From Katikati, New Zealand
