Alpenglow is thinking about 2012 already!

A few of the staff are down at the buying show for 2012 in SLC.  It's great energy down here.  We arrived for the on-water demo on Wednesday with 80 degrees and sun at Jordanelle State Park near Park City, UT.  Stand up Paddleboards were the crowd favorite in the morning.  There were 20-30 companies offering wide variety of SUP's to demo.  We got out on a ton of boards.  Some of our favorites were from Surftech with the Lairds as well as some of the displacement hulled Barks that were super fast (although not quite as stable).

As the wind picked up with a strong front in the afternoon, most people got off of the SUP's and gravitated towards kayaks, including us.  Hobie introduced a new pedal drive called the Revolution 11.  An 11' version of the best seller 13' Revolution.  The Tandem Island was certainly one of the huge favs. considering there was a stout wind.  There was a long enough line that we decided to check out the new Jackson Kayak Cuda.  This Sit on top Fishing kayak is a 14' version of the Coosa. 

All in all, the on water demo was a great chance for us to see what the trends are for 2012.  It certainly validates the awesome brand line up that Alpenglow is fortunate to offer.  We will offer more updates soon, but please come in to ask about the next years' models as we can't put everything in to writing here!
