I bought my first kayak in May 2010 from Wiegal on the Water. I drove an hour to get there and arrived 10 minutes before closing. I received excellent service from the staff. No one rushed me or hurried me along. No one seemed irritated that I was a last minute arrival. The gentleman who waited on me was very helpful in explaining the different kayaks and very patient with letting me sit in them to make sure I found one with the right cockpit size. I made my purchase with Ryan Wiegal who was also very kind. When I asked for assistance in tying my kayak to my roof they seemed very happy to do so. Not only did they tie it down, but they explained it step by step so that I could repeat the process. I think I kept then 40 minutes after closing. It was a very good experience and I will certainly do business with Wiegal in the future. I highly recommend that you consider them when purchasing a kayak. They have low prices and good quality stock.

I ordered a Native Ultimate FX Tandem from Wiegel on the Water. The kayak was in perfect shape upon pickup and they were happy to help me get it up on top of my vehicle and secure it. They offered helpful suggestions (mounting my kayak upside down directly on foam noodles on my crossbars instead of on a Thule carrier, tiedown tips) that made my extended trip with the kayak a breeze. Im very happy with my kayak, but I wont hesitate to order from Wiegel in the future when I want another. As a bonus, if youre coming from a distance, theres a nice riverfront park a block away thats perfect for kids to picnic and/or play at while you pick up your kayak(s).

Outstanding staff. This past year our floating gang purchased three one man canoes and a trailer from Ryan. This Christmas I decided that I wanted one as well. I fell in love with a friends Old Town Next, and after doing some research, we followed our friends advise and called Weigel on the water. The price was very good, as was the service. Very knowledgeable, professional no pressure approach to selling. Plus, I prefer to support small local business..... the big box stores cant compete with a sound independent.

I had a really good experience buying my first kayak here. The staff is very friendly and extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and I ended up getting exactly what I wanted which turned out to be a Necky Looksha 14. They carry a wide variety of kayaks, anything from base line models to top of the line, so your sure to find something no matter what your price range is. They also carry what ever accessories you might need. I highly recommend Wiegel on the water, I know I wont buy anywhere else.

They took great care to help me compare and find not the most expensive but the best kayak for my needs. Patient, knowledgeable, and friendly people. Ill be back for a trailer as well. Theyll save you money in the long-run over the big box run around. Get the right products and information the first time here, and then get out on the water.

Ryan and staff were excellent. They are very knowledgeable without pressure. Its worth the drive to purchase your kayak/canoe/fishing boat from them. Ben helped us load and reorganize our kayaks.

Friendly helpful people with a selection that is much bigger than I expected. Good prices and not pushy in any way. Give them a shot if you are in the market for a kayak. Lots of gear as well.
