We invite you to test paddle canoes, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards at nearby Forge Pond, just down the road from the Jersey Paddler store. Come to the front desk to sign in and request up to three boats you'd like to demo, and we'll bring the boats, along with PFDs and paddles, over to the water for you to test out. Demos are free.  

Hours for these demos are 10 am to 3 pm, weather permitting. In cold weather (approximately November 1 to May 1 but this varies every year), you must have a wetsuit or drysuit to protect you from the cold water. Please call the store to check if the weather or water temperature conditions are in question: 1-888-22-KAYAK.
