Oh yeah, they also don't think highly of the highly-rated FirstLight
kayaks. What gives?

The local kayak shop doesn't carry these boats and thinks they're not

good reviews of both, and have actually done well in the Touryak as a
beginner, so what could they possibly be talking about??

I have seen shops speak negatively of brands they do not carry, and
then a year or two later, when they do carry those brands, all of a
sudden those brands are the best. And vice-versa.

The job of a salesperson is to sell you something that they have, not
to review the entire market of possible options for you.

Happy trails,
