Local Ventura yak store?

Is there a ventura-local yak store that is GetBent friendly?

Yes, I bought Ed & Gails' yak.

First off I need a PFD, rod holders, and leashes. A waist-high "wet suit" might be nice, too?

You can make your own leashes, just a couple zip ties and a rope will do....definitely need a pfd though.

thats channel island kayaks...

Channel Islands Kayaks?
is that the one in ventura harbor or are they also in channel islands? didn't the one at Captn Hooks burn down? are they open again in a temporary store?

Yup talk to Craig at CIKC, he's actually one of Ed's fishing buddies...seen him in more than one of Ed's reports.
Seth would be the man when it comes to installing the hardware.

They've got a trailer right next to the ramp until the new building is done. Ventura is only for rentals.

make your own rod leashes its easy... waist high wet suite might be hard to find so far i've only found dive pants but they really do not work for kayaking. i saw some nice "paddle" pants at REI the other day would have bought a pair but they were out of my size
