I received my Beach LT 6 days ago
I received my Beach LT 6 days ago, and discovered a torn back rest, and a front (bow) fairing that didn't fit. Have been trying to get somebody to help me all week. I have left 7 messages, texted 3 times, and emailed 3 times. I still have not heard from anybody. All I get is an answering machine, and plan on turning this over to the better business bureau. What kind of service will I get when I really have a problem!!
I think I like the kayak, but since I can't get it in the water until the problems are fixed, I won't know until I get some assistance.
Very frustrating.

Should be 4.99 stars. The only issue with the purchase process is that i didn't receive shipped notification. However it was a great surprise when the kayak arrived unannounced. The order was placed online from Australia on 10 feb and the kayak was delivered on 23 feb : a very good service. Correspondence with the support team was also excellent.

We had some slightly different requests with our kayak order. Everything was handled in a very professional and expeditious manner. In short our requests were taken very seriously and handled to our satisfaction and immense pleasure. We must give a special thanks to Sam who went out of her way to give new meaning to the words "customer service".
Loving our kayaks!
