W ELC OM E Welcome to Paddlefest!

It’s time to go outside and play.

“Everyone has to go down the river sometime”. So said Edward Abbey. Defender of all things wild in the wild, wild west. Ed loved being outside. Sitting on a rock.

Hiking the canyons of the American southwest. Floating down a river. Any river.

Just to get away from the techno industrial machine that was creeping up on every corner of his desert landscape that it could lay its greedy hands on. But Abbey resisted. “Resist much, obey little” he always said. And when he couldn’t resist he fled to the mountains, the canyons and the rivers. Anywhere wild. Anywhere that hadn’t been touched by human hand. And found his solitude. His spiritual and emotional healing and reawakening.

Here in New York’s Adirondack mountains we are fortunate to have very little of what Abbey was fighting against and fleeing from. We have our lakes, our forests, our mountains and our rivers left for the most part untouched and still So go out there. Escape. Run free wild to escape to and experience what from the turmoil that surrounds is very scarce most anywhere else.

Quiet solitude with nature abounding our cities and our highways and in all its glory. Where moose, bobcats, our office buildings and malls. fishers and maybe even a catamount The Adirondacks are waiting. or two still run free. This is where the masses flee to escape the hustle and bustle of their everyday lives for relief from the commotion, the congestion and the confusion of what has become all too much of most everyone’s daily lives.

So go out there. Escape. Run free from the turmoil that surrounds our cities and our highways and our office buildings and malls. The Adirondacks are waiting.

They welcome you. They invite you to come and explore. To paddle a canoe or a kayak or raft down a raging river. To hike the mountains and bag the peaks. To bike through hundreds of thousands of acres of wild forest and wilderness. To sail on a lake or just sit by a fire and listen and smell the forest that surrounds you. It’s here and it is one of the most spectacular and one of the largest extended tracks of undisturbed wildness left east of the Mississippi River. As John Muir once said, “The mountains are calling, and I must go”. So go indeed. Go and reawaken yourself with what life can really be all about. It’s here waiting for you and calling your name. Go….

“

“The mountains are calling, and I must go.”

John Muir

W ELC OM E What is Paddlefest?

America's largest on-water Canoe, Kayak, SUP, Outdoor Gear & Clothing Sale!

What is Paddlefest? What started on a small lakeside beach in the tiny hamlet of Inlet, NY, has grown to become the largest on-water canoe, kayak and SUP sale in the country. Our locations in Saratoga Springs and Old Forge offer the largest selection anywhere, with over 1,000 models from more than a dozen leading manufacturers. During the weekend, paddling experts will be presenting free demonstrations and clinics to help you improve your paddling techniques and put you in the best equipment for your needs.

We’ll help you make the best choices to fit your budget and paddling style. You’ll be able to find everything you need to get out, have fun and be safe on the water.

Test Paddle Before You Buy - We’ll have hundreds of canoes, kayaks and SUPs out on the water for you to try all weekend long. We suggest looking at all the vendor booths before heading to the water to find out which boats and boards fit your needs and your budget, so you can get the most out of your test paddling sessions. Company experts will be available to help you make the best choice in what to try and give you a hand while out on the water.

Outdoor Gear, Clothing and More - More than just canoes, kayaks and SUPs, it’s an Outdoor Expo! If your outdoor interests go beyond paddling, then you will love this show! Whether its hiking, camping, backpacking or just hanging around in the outdoors, we have everything you need to go outside and play. We’ll have backpacks, tents, sleeping bags, hiking boots, sandals, books, maps and outdoor clothing that gets you where you want to go and to be comfortable and safe no matter what conditions you find.

How to get the most out of Paddlefest

W ELC OM E

Make the best use of your time during the show!

Check the Website: www.mountainmanoutdoors.com – We’ve tried to get as much into this guide as possible but as more is added or changes are made, you’ll want to stay up to date for the latest news and happenings at both of our shows.

Accessorize Your Purchase – Now’s a great time to get all the extras you need to go along with your new canoe, kayak or SUP, or add to the items for the ones you already own. We’ve got great prices on everything, and company reps to help you pick out what’s best.

Taking Your Boat Home – Be it a car top, roof rack or trailer, we’ll have whatever you need to take your new purchase home with you. Rack installations are always available, so you are able to travel worry free wherever your adventures take you.

Attend at least two days – There’s a lot to see and a lot to do at our shows, especially if you are looking to purchase a canoe, kayak or SUP. You’ll want to plan on plenty of time to test paddle to choose the right boat or board, as well as, to choose the right accessories to go with your purchase.

Be Prepared – This is New York and in the Adirondacks we say if you don’t like the weather then wait 10 minutes. So, check out the latest weather forecast and be prepared for the elements. Rain or shine, the show will go on.

Buying a Boat or SUP – Make sure you take a look at all the companies here. There are literally hundreds of models to choose from. Pick the ones that best meet your needs and pocket book and get out on the water and try them. That’s the best way to get the right one for you, and what makes our show different from all the rest.

Don’t Forget the Other Half of Our Show – Yes, it’s an outdoor show! So, even if paddling is not your thing, we have all the clothing, footwear and gear you need to hike, climb or bike in the outdoors. Be sure to check out our Outdoor Stores at both events too.

Talk to the Reps and ask a lot of questions – That’s why they're here. They are the experts for the companies they represent. Pick their brains and ask them the questions you need to know. We’re all a team here so take advantage of the knowledge and advice they have.

Trade in Your Boat – We do take in trades during the shows. Just go to the checkout area when you arrive and let us know that you have something you’d like to trade in.

Cruiser 12.6: This new model is the smallest of the Cruiser series but has personality of a boat much larger. Remarkably quick for its length and with rounded chines carrying significant tumblehome, there is a calming stability under any conditions. With a lower profile suited to medium sized users, the paddling station blends comfort and function using forward-thinking design. Paddling motion is unrestricted by means of a moderate 11” center depth, and the 28” maximum width is tucked just aft of the seat, allowing the paddler to cruise freely and comfortably. There is a deceptively large amount of interior volume, allowing you to pack your necessities with room to spare for longer trips. With a modern bow shape and a recurved stem for ultra-modern sleekness, the Cruiser 12.6 is part of a new era in Pack boat design.

W H AT'S N EW! Kokopelli Rogue-Lite: The All-new Rogue-lite is the lightest packraft in Kokopelli's fleet weighing in at 4.8 pounds. Kokopelli has designed the Rogue-lite packraft to be functional while reducing weight and maximizing compactness.

This packraft is ideal for backcountry river crossings, high alpine lake fishing and wide calm rivers. The Rogue-lite packraft can be rolled up into the size of a roll of paper towels make it ideal from bike-packing and backpacking alike.

The Rogue-lite is a single chambered packraft and includes an inflatable seat cushion.

Yakima BigCatch Kayak Saddles: Bust out the big boats with the BigCatch’s whopping 150-lb. capacity. Introducing the first universal kayak saddle built to handle heavy fishing kayaks and sit-on-tops.

The rubber-padded saddles conform to the kayak’s hull for a super-secure, full-contact carry that’s easy on your boat. A simple, tool-free install will load it up faster for even more time to chase the next big catch. If you have T-slot crossbars, don’t forget our SmarT-Slot Kit 4 (sold separately) for an even cleaner, more integrated look.

Playful and sporty in the surf, yet equally capable for a day trip on the lake, the all-new Stratos 12.5 offers infinite possibilities. The compact shape accelerates easily with a considerable nod to maneuverability, with the capacity fitting of a lengthier boat. Plus, it's equipped with all the features you need and want – bow and stern bulkheads, TruTrak skeg system, and best of all, Dagger’s new touring bulkhead footbrace for added connection. Available Spring 2019, in two sizes.

WHAT ' S N E W !

Hurricane Sweetwater 126: The Sweetwater 126 is the newest addition to the ever-popular sit-on-top series from Hurricane. With a new hull design focused on maximizing stability in a seated, paddling or sight-casting position, the Sweetwater 126 delivers the performance, confidence and comfort necessary for a long day on the water.

The Sweetwater 126 has impressive cruising speed and tracking, and its sharp bow lines slice through the water even in choppy conditions. The 1st Class Frame Seat featuring two height positions offers the next level of comfort and adjustability by providing a generous fit, uncompromised comfort, and excellent breathability. Sweetwater 126 is one of the lightest kayaks in its class (57 lbs with seat), yet it is still fully featured from bow to stern with a 10” bow hinge-hatch, groove tracks with side handles, a 5 ½” day hatch behind the seat, paddle holder, water bottle holder and stern well bungee.

Dagger Kayaks Stratos 12.5, winner of Paddling Magazine’s Best Touring/Recreational Kayak!

Beginners will love the stability and forgiveness, while intermediate and expert paddlers will find that the Stratos’ sporty hull is fast and maneuverable on any adventure. An adjustable drop-skeg aids tracking, and with two hatches, bulkheads, and deck bungees, gear storage has never been easier. Perfect for multi-day touring adventures, and just as capable for a day trip to your favorite rock garden or surf spot, the Stratos is a do-it-all kayak that stays with you on every step of your journey. Test paddle the award-winning Stratos 12.5 at Paddlefest.

Northstar Canoes B16: Sixteen feet is all you need for a week or a day, the B 16 can handle a wilderness trip or nightly family cruise.

It’s a full hull with plenty of capacity in a short package. Like its sibling the B 17 you can expect a dry boat with predictable behavior in moving water thanks to the symmetrical rocker. The B 16 lends itself to solo paddling since we’ve eliminated the bow thwart.

Firebird: The smaller, 13’6” version of Northstar’s popular Phoenix has the same medium rocker (2.5") and one less inch at the waterline (now 29"). Northstar recommends an optimal weight range between 100-240 lbs. The Firebird offers the versatility of the Phoenix in a smaller package. Those who want to play on flatwater or in whitewater will be drawn to the Firebird.

W HAT'S NEW IN FI S HI NG K AYA K S !

Native Watercraft The Manta Ray 12 XT: This polyethylene adaptation of the thermoformed Native Watercraft Manta Ray 12 LT contains the same hull design focused on maximizing stability in a seated, paddling or sight-casting position. The Manta Ray Angler 12 XT delivers the performance, confidence and comfort necessary for a long day on the water. The cruising speed and tracking of the Manta Ray Angler 12 XT is impressive given its 33-inch beam. The XT’s sharp bow lines slice through the water with grace in choppy conditions and in open water swells. It offers the next level of comfort, adjustability and appeal by installing a Frame Seat featuring two height positions – the lower position for paddling to and from the fishing spots and the higher position for transitioning to a standing position while casting.

Slayer XC: The hull of the XC is designed towards cross conditions performance. A broad flatter hull not only allows river anglers to maneuver and control their boats in tighter conditions while sliding through shallow areas with a very shallow draft, but it also gives an incredibly stable standing platform for sight fishing. When it’s time to cover some ground, a flip of a lever drops a directional skeg to allow the Slayer XC to track on a line to the next spot. The XC maintains a clean deck profile for anglers, but is carefully packed with fish ready features and advanced electronics capabilities for the biggest gear hounds. The layout is fit for a pro, simple and clean, but feature rich. No cluttered deck, no tangled lines, just fishing which as they say beats a good day at work any day.

Old Town

Jackson Kayak

Topwater PDL: Old Town sacrificed nothing, delivering a comfortable, hands-free performance fishing kayak that’s easy to maneuver and even easier to transport. At only 10.5’ long and weighing only 100 lbs. fully outfitted, The Topwater PDL offers large fishing kayak performance, in a compact, lightweight, nimble package. A marriage of stability and performance, the Topwater, with the all-new ultra-stable DoubleU™ Hull, quietly glides through any water condition while providing a stable handsfree stand-up fishing platform. Featuring the award-winning forward/reverse PDL™ Drive, the most reliable and easy-to-use pedal drive on the market, and equipped with thoughtful on-board rod & tackle management, The Topwater PDL will impress even the saltiest of anglers.

Bite: With an 11'6" hull designed by Jackson Kayak's top hull design team and at a class-leading 35" in width, the Bite performs to the paddle-ability and stand-ability standards you are used to in a Jackson Kayak. It is estimated at under 72 lbs making it easy to manage in and out of the water.

Topwater 120 Angler: The all-new Topwater 120 offers large fishing kayak performance, in a compact, nimble package. A marriage of stability and performance, the Topwater, with the all-new ultra-stable DoubleU™ Hull, quietly glides through any water condition while providing a stable, comfortable stand-up fishing platform. Equipped with thoughtful onboard tackle and rod management and a revolutionary universal transducer mount, even the saltiest of anglers will be impressed by the overall fishability of the new Topwater series. Old Town sacrificed nothing, delivering a series of innovative fishing kayaks that are easy to maneuver and even easier to transport all while boasting an impressive maximum capacity.

16 | Mountainman Outdoors presents — Paddlefest Show Guide 2019

The Bite's comfort was not skimped on either, with the addition of a brandnew trim-able, framed seating system and plenty of room to stand comfortably. The open-concept deck has been long-awaited from Jackson, giving the paddler ample storage space fore and aft along with a system of touring-style bungee cords. These areas are perfect for crates, hard and soft coolers, dry bags of gear and more for daily usage and long exploration trips. Test-paddle one at Paddlefest!

Blue Sky Boatworks

Bonafide Kayaks

360 Angler: For those who want a boat specifically designed for fishing, the 360°Angler sits comfortably between the bass boat and the kayak without compromising space, comfort, accessories, storage, stealth and the ability to get to those skinny/shallow waters the big boats can't.

The Angler has gear tracks for rod mounts, comes with rod holders, has hull storage for rods and tackle boxes and much more. A patent-pending prop-driven pedal system allows for hands-free forward and reverse propulsion for kayaks. Named the Flex Drive, it consists of a daggerboard-protected tri-prop propeller which, combined with unique articulation of the prop system, gives the Flex Drive increased performance over other drives and helps keep the system clear of obstacles and easy to clean. Jackson Kayak’s Flex Drive System can quickly adapt from deep to shallow water navigation without having to move the main pedal drive unit.

The EX123 is a stable, comfortable, and great paddling sit-inside kayak, with performance, features, and cargo space that enable you to take your life’s adventure to the next level. It incorporates a slim, 29.5" wide HyCat™ hull, offering best in class stability while maintaining above-average tracking and speed. The light-weight Stadium Seat will keep your mind on your paddling experience rather than your back, with all-day comfort and support. The HatchWell is a new spin on a stern hatch cover, tubbed with bungee and Omni Hooks on top, and hinged for internal dry storage below.

THE TOOL FOR ADVENTURE

RS117: The RS117 offers a new standard for budget-conscious kayak anglers, providing them an affordable opportunity to RISE up into a premium, authentically-designed fishing kayak that’s made in the USA! With a Hybrid Catamaran hull, the RS117 is a very standable platform that offers an excellent balance of stability and paddling performance. Add in the top-notch deck layout with all day comfort and an “it just makes sense” array of features, and the RS117 is the perfect boat to get you out on the water!

Trade In Your Canoe, Kayak or SUP at Saratoga and Adirondack Paddlefest!

Have an old and worn canoe, kayak or SUP? Or did you get “boxed in,” buying a cheap model at a Big Box store, thinking you were getting a great deal? Only to find that it doesn’t paddle worth a hoot? It doesn’t fit you?

The fittings are cheap and the seat is uncomfortable?

If this is you, then bring your old boat or SUP to Saratoga or Adirondack Paddlefest and we’ll let you trade it in for a newer, more comfortable, better paddling one that is perfect for you and your paddling style.

You’ll be glad you did. Your paddling will be easier and more comfortable. And you will go more often.

F EATU R ES Let Us Guide You! NYS DEC Licensed Guide, Mike Bartolotti If you’ve visited Mountainman’s Gear & Clothing Shop in Old Forge, you’ve probably met Mike (or Mike B. as we call him since there are two Mike’s in the store). Mike has spent most of his life in and around the Adirondacks, going on countless adventures. Mike’s personal goal is to explore every inch of the park, and while that may be impossible, that doesn’t stop him from trying!

It’s this love of the Adirondack wilderness that led Mike to acquire a New York State Guide license last year. “I became a guide to help spread my love of everything outdoors to people of all experience levels. I’ve had the wilderness experience to offer people advice, but now I have the training and certification to guide them on their own Adirondack wilderness experiences.”

John Nemjo, owner of Mountainman, added, “We’ve always wanted a licensed guide on staff. Mike's knowledge of gear is outstanding. With that knowledge, his years of Adirondack experience, and his guiding license, Mike will be especially well equipped to guide folks in the Adirondacks, be it paddling, fishing, hiking or camping."

If you’re interested in Guiding services, you can contact Mike at the shop at (315) 369-6672, ext. 3 (ask for Mike B) or at mike.b@MountainmanOutdoors.com.

Fe atures Kayak Bass Fishing takes off in the Adirondacks!

Adirondack anglers form fastest growing Kayak Bass Fishing club in the country!

In upstate New York, Mountainman was the pioneer of catch-photo-release (CPR) fishing tournaments (when a fish is caught, it is simply photographed on a measuring board and released).

Their annual Paddlefest CPR tournaments drew in anglers from throughout the region and laid the foundation for what became Adirondack KBF. In 2017, ADK KBF worked with Mountainman and developed the rules and plan for a full tournament season. That same year, ADK KBF was granted partnership with Kayak Bass Fishing (KBF), the top Kayak Bass Fishing Organization in the country.

Our growth In the summer of 2017, our first year as a club was an instant success, due in large part to the backing of

Mountainman and KBF. Since our first tournament in April 2017, tournament participation and membership has steadily grown. As we start 2019, our community group has grown to over 500 members, and we had 75 different anglers participate in tournaments in 2018. According to KBF, our club has one of the highest growth rates in the country! This year NRS has joined us as a tournament series sponsor, providing us with top-quality PFDs and kayak fishing gear for tournament prizes.

Kayak Bass Fishing (KBF) We are a member of the nationwide organization Kayak Bass Fishing (KBF), which put on a nationwide “Trail Series” of tournaments and host the National Championships every year at the end of March. In fact, we’re proud to have

Old Forge Hardware

The Adirondacks' Most General Store 104 Fulton Street Old Forge, NY 13420 - 315-369-6100

eight club members participating in the National Championship in Louisiana this year. Additionally, we are excited to host a KBF Trail Tournament in Lake George on May 18th, which will draw anglers from throughout the northeast.

Come join us!

We have a number of public events this year, including seven in-person tournaments and two online challenges; all have a friendly competitive atmosphere, and we’re happy to welcome anyone new to the sport.

Adirondack KBF is run by four kayak anglers who are happy to welcome new people to the group.. Brian Baulsir, Ben Sopczyk, Zack Sopczyk, and Tyler Sweet can be reached at adkkbf@ gmail.com, or through the Adirondack KBF facebook page: @Adirondackkbf

F EATU R ES Old Forge, your new Mountain Biking Destination!

New Trails Opened at McCauley Mountain With the addition and clean-up of nearly 20 miles of trails on McCauley Mountain, Old Forge’s mountain bike scene has taken off. From brand new flow trails, single track, double track and rolling cross country terrain, McCauley Mountain will now be the new hub for mountain biking in the west-central Adirondacks.

“

Took my son up to McCauley for some riding this weekend and what a great time we had. Bought three new bikes for the kids from Mountainman and rode for a few hours. Thank you to all the folks who had a hand in making the trails and putting in hours of hard work for others to enjoy! I know it’s a day my son will never forget, and neither will I. The trails are in great shape and we had a blast.

- Paul Bisaccia

Tobie Trail which winds its way from Old Forge to Big Moose Lake or Inlet, going through thousands of acres of wild forest. Or ride up and around Maple Ridge, in downtown Old Forge, for some awesome fast climbing single track. Other trails include Nicks Lake, Moss Lake and Fern Park in Inlet, which boast nearly 20 miles of easy to technical trail riding. If you want a more competitive edge, then don’t forget the annual Black Fly Challenge. It’s easily one of the best-known biking events in all the Adirondacks.

Continuing proposals, such as the installation of a pump track, are being reviewed for further development as well as trail connectivity to the main

part of town. Keep your eyes open for upcoming events involving a wide range of riding opportunities for 2019 and beyond.

If you have any questions about the trails, conditions, or just new to the sport, the staff at Mountainman Outdoors will be happy to help you out.

Mountainman Outdoors presents — Paddlefest Show Guide 2019 | 33

O U R SHOP S Visit Mountainman's Paddlesports Shops New York's Largest Canoe, Kayak and SUP Dealer Mountainman Outdoor Supply Company is New York’s leader in paddlesports.

If you’re a novice buying your first boat or board, looking to upgrade to a better model, or ready to buy a second boat, we can help you find the perfect one! With two great and convenient locations and over 1,000 canoes, kayaks and SUPs in stock, you’ll find exactly what you need. The reason we carry so many is because we know each paddler is unique and we want to make sure you get the boat or board that is perfect for you. In fact, we feel that the best way to make your decision is on the water, not based solely on a salesperson's suggestion, even our own. We offer test paddling each and every day (weather permitting) with no reservations required, rather than on one or two special weekends a year like most other dealers.

You'll have a ton of choices when it’s finally time to buy a new boat or board.

There are different styles, different materials, a variety of features and a wide range of prices. Our staff has been trained to help you make the best decision.

So, ask questions. We are here to help! And when it comes time to pick out a paddle, a lifejacket, or a new rack system, we take the time to make sure you get the best choice for your budget and paddling style. Our expert staff will help guide you each step of the way to stay within your budget and help you get the most out of your purchase. In addition to Paddlefest, we host special events and demo days throughout the summer and into the fall to give you the chance to meet with some of the largest and finest manufacturers in the industry.

STAFF SPOTLIGHT Meet Andy Getty Assistant Manager, Old Forge Paddlesports Andy has been with Mountainman off and on for 10 years now. He took a break to sell cars but realized how soul crushing that is and that selling canoes was much more fulfilling!

You might find him out back on the Moose in a Solo Canoe or on a SUP with his dog Captain, (who has been a part-time MM 'employee' for over 5 years now!) Or out training for events like the Utica Boilermaker and the ADK Canoe Classic. A believer of the adage 'there is no such thing as bad weather, only improper Clothing and Footwear'. He is more likely to be seen jogging at 0 degrees and icy than at 60 and sunny!

In 2018 our shop in downtown Saratoga Springs was voted “Best Men’s Clothing Store” and “Best Shoe Store!” “A big part of making this happen was expanding the store to include three store-fronts, allowing us to create a complete shoe department, while expanding our clothing lines,” store manager, Joseph Vidarte explained. John Nemjo, Mountainman owner, added, “An even bigger part is our team! Joseph and his team really focus in on our customers, knowing many of them by name. Just like all our stores, we really pride ourselves on customer & MEN service!”

STAFF SPOTLIGHT Meet Bill Reynolds Marketing Director, Mountainman Florida Bill has somehow managed to be a part of Mountainman since 1993, as volunteer, parttime computer jockey, and now full-time. He works from his home office in the Florida panhandle, trekking to NY for Paddlefest and other events.

Bill takes special delight in sending sunny Florida photos to the Mountainman team during winter, enjoys bike riding, and trying to sneak new records into the house pass his wife. Lifelong ambition: paddle the Suwanee from Georgia to the Gulf of Mexico!

Feat u r es The Fulton Chain Trifecta.. the mountains are calling you!

Old Forge area hikers create awards program to motivate visitors to hit the hiking trails!

Within just a few miles of the village of Old Forge there are three mountain peak trails that offer hikers off all experience levels short, beautiful hikes up to wondrous mountain peak views. A local group of hiking enthusiasts got together (over beers?) and came up with the Fulton Chain Trifecta, a simple program that awards folks who make the three hikes.

The Three Trifecta Hikes BALD MOUNTAIN, RONDAXE FIRE TOWER Time: 30 min- 1 hour to summit (based on experience) Type: Out and Back Total Distance: 1.8 miles

Mike Bartolotti, a licensed NYS Guide and a manager at Mountainman Outdoor Supply Company, explains, “You can complete the challenge in one day or take as much time as you need to reach all three summits. The mountains are within a 10-minute drive from each other and are on DEC maintained trails. Once you climb all three mountains, complete the registration form to receive your patch, sticker, and climbing number.”

There is a nominal fee which covers the cost of the patch, with a portion of the fee going to the local Emergency Service Unit.
