First the few times these days I visit desperate measures these days I find the staff friendly and helpfull and a well stocked shop , and I may have being singing its praise but for the fact that when I took up canoeing 7 or 8 years ago though it seems longer I bought all my kit from desperate measures at there old shop, being my first new kayak I thought not really knowing anything about the sport ,I found the seal around the cockpit was open ? Being a suspicious git why is the seal broken ? And shouldn't there be side pads for the hips ? To which they don't come with this boat and something about WhiteWater speck I think ? So I thought is that right and got on with it and made my own foam pads and sealed them in shrink wrapp and got on with it,forward 7 years still had the suspicion is the right? So did the review and mark the owner the owner got back to me to explain the first answer was correct and I was wrong ,OK I accept that , um thinking about it in fact I have never seen one with side pads beside my own made ones , and the broken seal well how do we carry a kayak ? Put our shoulders inside and carry on our shoulders , so in on this I have to apologise for my first rating , and do occasionally buy kit from desperate measures,

Brilliant shop with excellent customer service. Always get my boats and majority of my kit through them. They have always helped when I have product issues or questions and my kit is always promptly available when I make purchases.

Went in today half an hour before closing with a list of things I needed to outfit my first canoe.Ethan got me sorted with everything I wanted without any pushy sales of the more expensive items and didn't feel rushed even though it took until closing time.Definitely recommend the service ? I'll be back again.

Very helpful staff who really know their stock couldn't find quite what I wanted so they have taken details and will let me know when it comes in. Will definitely be popping in more often.

Excellent store with good quality stock at very competitive prices. Mark is a mine of information, what he doesn?t know about water sports isn?t worth knowing.
