Have a Touring kayak? Want a touring kayak? Don’t know what a touring kayak is? Come on down to the pool and not only will you see one but you will also see how they are used. This pool-side demo is geared for people who want to see what a touring kayak can really do. If you think a longer boat is too big for a little river, wait until you see how it performs in a swimming pool!
