Just placed my first order with ACK (Austin Kayak).  Order was received in just a couple days.  Shipped the same day I ordered and received tracking info that night.  Though I item I received was wrong (actualy shipped wrong from Hobie to ACK), they promptly issued a call-tag & reshipped the new part the same day.  Even got a free t-shirt and 15% off coupon for the mixup!  Nice people there.

As far as local, I've had good luck with my local kayak shops; Monterey bay Kayaks & Kayak Connection as well as the growing line of kayak gear through West Marine.  Lastly, I have ordered parts through Headwaters in both Redding & Lodi ....  ALL of the above have had good service & varying assortment of parts!

My go-tos (depending on what I am looking for) are:

NRS  (base layers, neporene and footwear)
Hook1 (accessories and yak related gear, fishing tools)
Austin Kayak (got a replacement hatch and some clothing)
Charkbait (specialty tackle)
pronounced "Pie-see-in"
