DEMOFEST
Postponed -TBA
Due to a recent declaration by the Iowa Governor we have to postpone our event. At this time we are working with manufactures to find a suitable date in the future. We will post more information on our Facebook page and website.
Private Demos are available at anytime!
Private Demos are $50/person and 100% refundable upon boat purchase. Please call 515-961-6117 for more information or to set up a time.
Demofest is CanoeSport Outfitters biggest on-water demo of the year! This open demo will allow new and seasoned paddlers to try out new boats from manufactures as well as several regular models. Paddlers will us this time to decide between specific models or crafts with the hope of starting the new season in a new boat or board!
