(Newswire.net — April 18, 2013) Seattle, WA — The kayaking website KayakOnline.com has chosen Rutabaga Paddlesports as their top kayaking and boating retailer for 2013.
The website’s editor Sam Hanson said, “It’s always hard to single out just one retailer for this award because there are so many good ones to choose from, but we felt that Rutabaga Paddlesports was very deserving of this designation this year.”
“Like our website, Rutabaga has been around a long time,” Hanson continued, “They have been very active in the kayaking community in the upper Midwest for quite some time.”
The KayakOnline.com website is a free outdoor recreation information site that has been promoting the sport of kayaking for over 13 years. It maintains a variety of lists of local and national kayaking and recreational boating companies and organizations.
Hanson indicated that they don’t have any set criteria for determining each year’s winner. “We don’t have a scorecard for calculating our top pick,” Hanson continued, “Our choice every year is pretty subjective, but we feel pretty good about our selections.”
Hanson stated that the kayaking community used to be somewhat small, but has expanded greatly during the last decade. “There are a lot of new players, especially in the online kayaking space,” Hanson concluded, “And while many of them are good quality companies, I think we still hold a preference to the older businesses that have traditional stores and work with walk-in customers as well as online visitors.”
