March Newsletter

Hi folks. Another month has passed. And with it goes the last of the bitter cold weather here in Winona. It’s warming up fast! The snow is melting. And we all know what that means: it’s almost summertime. The time for camping, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding, campfires, s’mores, school break, warm nights, thunder storms and lots and lots of paddling!

New SUP Paddle

After much hard work and many revisions our first SUP paddle is finally here! We’ve really taken our time with this paddle to make sure every little detail is how we envisioned it to be. I think it turned out great! We decided to call it The Laker in homage to all the lakes and nickname of our great state of Minnesota. But don’t let the name fool you – it will handle any all types of paddling, from ocean waves to river currents to calm reflection ponds.

New Dealer – Kayak Corral

We are very excited to say that we have recently added Kayak Corral to our growing list of great dealers! They are in fact the first place other than our website where you can purchase one of our new Greenland kayak paddles. If you live in the Saline, MI area, or are planning a trip stop in and check out all they have to offer. You’ll be glad you did.

From Kayak Corral’s website:

“Your Great Lake's resource for kayaks & accessories
Serving Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Ontario and our many friends afar.”

Take a look at Kayak Corral’s Website.

March Contest

As you might recall here at Sanborn we declared 2011 The Year of the Paddle. And with that we are giving away a paddle every month for this entire year! Check out our contest page for rules and how you can enter!

Planning a Wilderness Canoe Trip

If you’re in the Duluth area on Sat. April 9th come check out what will be a great seminar on Planning a Wilderness Canoe Trip by the author/guide Cliff Jacobson and put on by the Duluth Pack Store. We’ll have a table at the event. We’re looking forward to chatting to some great folks - if you're there please stop by and say hi. For more details and to purchase tickets to the event go to Duluth Pack’s website.

Thanks,

Zak
