General news and updates

We had a great summer here at Sea Sports, weather was perfect, and business was great! While winding down the 2010' season we have been putting a lot of work into getting prepared for 2011'. We are installing new carpet in the showroom, and have done lots of improvements in the basement getting it ready for all the new 2011' product that is starting to come in.



Speaking of new product, we just got word that the new Atomic Cobalt diving computer has shipped. This thing is sure to be a game changer. We also received the new CAAD 10 bicycles from Cannondale along with a fresh stock of their other 2011' bicycles. Our 2011' preseason shipment from Native Watercraft is due the first week in December. On that order is also a re-supply of the ever popular Featherlight kayak.

We are running some Christmas Specials. We will continue to offer the $99 deposit Layaway on any kayak purchased before Christmas. (we provide a model miniature kayak to gift wrap) Old town is offering a nice rebate on their Vapor kayak. We are also offering a $50 savings on any new bicycle purchase valued at $299 or more. These specials run through the Holiday.

Don't forget we are also on Facebook so if your a member you can use that to stay up to date on shop news as well!

Wow, July 4th weekend is here! We wish everyone a safe and happy Holiday. The perfect weather we have been having has been great for just about any outdoor activity.

This year we are delighted to be introducing a whole new range of kayaking tours and courses, including Full Moon Tours, Dawn and Sunset Paddles, Seal-Watching Trips, Snorkeling Kayak Trips, Kayak Surfing Classes, Kayak-Camping Trips, Paddling for Fitness, Rolling Clinics and a special Fireworks Paddle for July 4th. Check out our calendar on our website www.capecodseasports.com for a full schedule of lessons, or just give us a ring.

From the diving front, last night's beach dive was a great success, with everyone having a great time. Beach dives will continue to go ahead on Thursday evenings for the rest of the summer, come join us! Congrats to the students of Chris Ranney, who just finished up their open water diver course last Tuesday!

Shop News!

Well the season is off to a great start and we have been very busy around the shop. Here are some updates and general shop news.

The shop is now open Mon-Sat 10:00-6:00 and Sunday 11:00-5:00. We will expand hours further by the end of June.



Kayak News: Our Big Demo is June 19th from 10:00-3:00pm at Hathaway's Pond in Hyannis. Manufacturer's reps will be on hand, and we will have over 60 different boats on the water. We will also have a kayak fishing clinic Friday June 18th @ 5:00pm. Please call ahead on the fishing clinic. Kayak lessons are in full swing! If you are interested just give us a call. Taking a lesson can be a great jump start into the sport. A lesson can also provide the knowledge to safely paddle in more diverse environments. We can provide a flexible schedule so if you don't see the class you want on the day you want just ask, we may be able to accommodate. As a bonus all lesson participants get a coupon for $45 off the purchase of a boat. So if you're in the market anyway, it really makes since. We have LOTS of new kayak models in stock...glass sea kayaks, sailing kayaks, electric kayaks, pedal kayaks, standup kayaks and boards, and even entry level boats starting @ $269. Come check it out!

Snorkeling/Diving News: Don't forget we are holding weekly beach dives starting June 17th. The dives will run every Thursday @ 5:30pm throughout the season. Please call ahead if you plan on coming. The dives are casual, and all certified divers are welcome. Learn to dive classes are currently being held. Please call for info or to sign up. In addition to stocking the premier product lines in diving from Atomic, SCUBAPRO, and Mares, we are adding SubGear to the mix. We are excited about it and think our customers will be too.

Cycling News: No news is good news... everything has been running great! Look for a shop group ride one day per week starting mid season. Great way to enjoy the camaraderie of others or get coached on basic cycling and group riding techniques.


Staff: We welcomed back Kelly Denham and Brendan Russo to the shop a few weeks ago. Brendan was on the fishing team at Virginia Tech and we welcome his knowledge in the kayak fishing area. Kelly has been working on her kayak guide rating and has been cycling to cross train for competitive running. Elaine Toomey is over from Ireland for the summer. She is a level 2 ICU Sea kayak Instructor and will be leading kayak tours and teaching lessons as well as spending time in the shop. Larry Bessinger our main kayak guide is spending lots of time on his Fuji Newest road bike, when he is not in his Current Designs Willow kayak that is. Matt Lounsbury is an avid scuba diver and will be seen around the shop more as the summer progresses. Jeffrey Gilman is getting ready for the Wilderness 101 hundred mile mountain bike race next month. Crazy! The list goes on...Bob Torrey, Chris Olsen, Chris Ranney, Mike Reardon... we have been fortunate to have a great team here at Sea Sports. Come by and say hello!

Thank you to our customers from the Sea Sports Crew.

Spring Kayak Sale

We are having a Spring Kayak SALE this Saturday May 15th only. All in stock boats will be on sale 5-30% off. We are also having a kayak Demo on Saturday from 10:00-2:00pm @ Hathaway pond in Hyannis. If you're looking to try a specific model, please call and we will make sure we have it at the pond.

The shakedown dive is this Sunday, May 16th. This is a great chance to get in the water if it's been awhile or if you're a new diver. The dive is instructor lead and the cost is $30.

Our bicycle department has had a great start. Service is going smooth, and we have had quite a few happy owners of new bicycles already. Our shop is stocking a wide range of bicycles from $300 bike path bikes to a Focus carbon bike complete with Lightweight Wheels at $11,900 and everything in between.

The start of the season has been great. What that tells me is there are more people getting out and having fun. Thank you to our customers! We look forward to serving you! Come experience the service that has made us successful.

On another note, Jeff and his wife, Annie, have added a new daughter to their family. Caitlin Elaine Craddock was born May 6th at 3:55pm! We expect she will be every bit the outdoor enthusiast that her parents are.

First Day of Spring! Drysuit course...and Bicycles??!

Spring has sprung! We have been gearing up for a great season. We are offering a Drysuit course March 27th & 28th for anyone interested in getting an early start on the diving season, or maybe just staying a little warmer. It's a great class, and a good way to get some dives in early.
