Paddler's Cove & The Pond Hopper

Thursday morning we arrived at Paddler's Cove in Washington, NJ to meet up with owner John Warta and The Pond Hopper, Dino Cerdeira.  Paddler's Cove is a NuCanoe Dealer and Dino has been using a NuCanoe in his kayak fishing guide service for a couple years.  They both saw our plans for the Frontier in May and were eager to it in person.  And to get it on the water!

So after a brief "show & tell" at the shop, we took off to Furnace Lake, about 15 minutes from the store.  John & Dino put the Frontier to the test on a nice fall morning.  And they were both impressed.  Dino really liked how it handled on the water and the wider deck to make standing real easy...even for a tall guy.  They gave us some good ideas for accessories and options too!
