Buying a Kayak Up north

    Hi Folks,

    I am looking at buying a couple of ocean frenzy sit on kayaks and was wondering if anyone could recommend a Northern Ireland store that’s reasonably priced.

    Is there a saving to be made by traveling north of the border for them?

    Thanks

    I was looking to buy last year and a mate in Belfast suggested I try Surf Mountain for RTM kayaks. I was able to drop in one day, when the missus was in IKEA, but, overall, found it not worth it.

    There was, on face value, a saving over Dublin prices, but the amount saved would not have been worth a day of my weekend to go up there to collect it and take it back to Dublin.

    In the end I bought everything in Dublin.

    cheers for the replies folks,

    was onto a company in the uk, desperatemeasures,

    they can do 4 ocean frenzys, oars and seats for around 421 euro each delivered.

    how does this stack up to what you guys paid?
