Hayward Water sports | Hayward Outfitters

"I recently bought a paddle board from James. He was very responsive and knowledgeable and I felt like I was in good hands the entire time. I never felt like I was being sold something. I live in kansas and shipping had been the biggest obstacle I have encountered but james had multiple shipping options and even got me the cheapest quote. I highly recommend hayward outfitters."

"Worst experience ever. We drove an hour to visit the store. The owner asked what I was looking for, I said an ultralight canoe, and he said “start at the website.” Huh? He had racks and racks of boats in his back area and he just kept repeating “start on the website.” I finally got the message that he wasn’t going to sell anything to me and left. Weird, almost creepy, and definitely disappointing."

"Purchased a wonderful Canoe a couple of years back, and their paddles turned out to be a wonderful deal as well. Very polite, even gave us his car strap since they were out of stock. What I don´t like: I cannot access the website anymore from Germany, wondering what the intention is...."

"This was by far the best experience I've had at a kayak shop! Called about an in stock unit they had and showed up less than two hours later to an attentive and friendy staff. No pressure on sale but very detailed on walking through kayak I wanted. Took the time to let me make sure accessories I was interested in fit the kayak. Would definitely recommend!"

"I've had multiple 5 star experiences at Hayward outfitters. Their products are all quality and their prices are better than anywhere I've found online. They do not sell junk! Only industry-leading brands. Dagger, NRS, Werner and others all top notch stuff here. Jim and Jane are awesome people. They have always been very prompt to respond to my online inquiries and have been nothing but courteous and respectful when I stop in the store. They are happy to share info on their favorite river runs and Jim donated some tools to help us clean up the river when he heard we were doing it. Whenever I need anything for the river, I go to Hayward outfitters first."
