So, to be clear, you're just opening up your garage and selling the second-hand-but-new-gear-junkie-accumulation you've been trying to pawn for the last few months? :) I do remember telling you to open up a shop, but I wasn't serious!

Good luck!

We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.

LOL!!!  :smt005 Well Jeremy you can tell I was obsessive about gear and wanted to try and test everything out there to find what works the best for me.  I've got it pretty narrowed down now and figured I'd bring some up here for everyone else to try!  If I am able to bring some love to Norcal while breaking even without too much of a headache then everyone wins.

Very Nice Matt!!!

I am sure IceColdChuck and I could get together and make a weight harness for you.  If not a made one I know of another brand that caters to strong men who lift kayaks filled with water over their head like they are 10 pounds  :smt007  Let me find out and I'll get back to you.

Thanks again everyone, I'll have everything setup on Saturday so I will snap some pics for everyone to see.  If you want something as well give me a call (925) 787-7230 or pm and if I don't have it, I can get it.

Matt

Matt,

It is awesome to see this coming together for you!!!!

Your attitude and hard work on making this a reality are super impressive!!

For you guys who haven't met or interacted with Matt yet, he is an extremely nice guy who has gone out of his way to help me and several other NCKA members, was a big supporter of PIF last year, has contacted me about becoming a DOTY sponsor and more!

He has helped me get several pieces of gear recently (a Pathos gun and an Aeris watch) and I have been VERY stoked on both!!

 :smt007

Really looking forward to seeing Red Triangle develop and grow!!

 :smt006

Sincerely,

Jim

Let's buy this building and turn it into a fishing & diving shop! It's only a few blocks from the beach in Monterey.
