Where's Roland (Not Waldo)?

That’s right, I made the cover of Outdoor Retailer magazine!

Okay, nothing to be too excited about. As you can see, it would take an industrial magnifying glass to figure it out and even then, I am so far in the back that I’ve been blurred out. The cover shot was taken at the Open Air Demo held at the Summer 2006 Outdoor Retailer Expo in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Ever been to a kayak dealer’s demo day? Well, multiply that by 20…this event is huge! It is where many dealers get a chance to demo kayaks by most manufacturers. In this photo, I was paddling a Malibu. Great kayak but I decided to pick up Heritage and Native instead.

On that note, my flight and hotel are booked and I am ready to hit it again this year. Instead of focusing on new watercraft, my goal is to greatly expand my accessory product line to better serve my customers! My Heritage/Native rep is also telling me that I am going to be very excited about what they are going to release at the show. I promise you will be some of the first to know as I plan to post updates on this blog while at the show so be sure to check back.

The dates of the show are August 7th – 12th and I plan to be there most of the week.

Stay tuned…more news about Lakeline Watersports & the expo coming soon.

Cheers,
Roland “Bones” Jimenez
