Has anybody had experience demoing kayaks at California Canoe and Kayak?
I want to demo the Revo 13 and the Outback - should I expect them to have these in stock?
Or, do I need to tell them ahead of time what i want to demo and then wait until they get them in?

Thanks for any info ahead of time! Would be good to know what to expect and how your experiences have been.

CCK team member can give you a better answer but they should have Revo and Outback demo kayak on hand. Call ahead so they'll have the kayaks ready for you.

Yes they should have those models to demo. Just call them before hand and let them know you are coming down. The staff are great and can set you up.

I ended up buying a 2020 Revo 13 at CCK after demo’ing the Revo against the outback.

They have most Kayaks on site, but do call ahead to schedule the demo.

This will do 2 things.
1 it will be ready for you when you get there.
2 make sure the model you are looking to test is there

When you do the Test they will charge $50 fee which is refunded when you buy a Kayak
