Sac Town

We kicked off the Mission: Epicocity Premiere Tour in Sacramento at California Canoe & Kayak. I love doing premiere tours because I get to travel the country and visit bad ass shops like CCK. The boys at the shop rolled out the red carpet (and their beer budget) to kick off the premiere tour.

We pulled in to the CCK parking lot after an all night drive from Eugene, Oregon. We met up with the shop guys and then headed down to the American for a Wavesport boat demo and a little low water beat down in the hole. The water dropped out on us turning Chili Bar into a sticky pourover. You could do huge loops, but they usually finished off in power windowshades. After a few hours we decided to fire up the long boats and race the Diesels downstream.

After the demo we headed back to CCK for a big Bar-b-que, video premiere, and drink-a-thon. There are a lot of good shops out there, and there are a few great shops. CCK is one of those rare shops that knows kayaking is not just about selling boats, but about supporting the kayaking community and partying like rockstars.

Big thanks to Jeff, Nick, Ryan, the Germans, and everybody else that showed up for the premiere and demo.
