04 | February | 2009 | Folbot

Yes, we’re in some really tough economic times. We think about them, we read about them, we talk about them, and we worry about them. At Folbot we’ve been pondering how we can help. Well, maybe not exactly fixing the economy, but helping to sooth our spirits. What we’re talking about is a little fun.

Specifically, what we’re thinking about is the notion of “staycations.” (Staying home, or close to home, as vacation.) The idea is pretty simple — pulling back from taking the big, expensive vacations and finding ways to have just as much fun while traveling shorter distances and spending less money. If you’re lucky enough to live in a great place like we do, then it’s really easy. But even so, most of us live within a reasonable drive to a beautiful lake, river, or even a beloved childhood spot.

What could be better for a staycation than a Folbot? Instead of spending a wad of cash to go to Europe or even across the country, for a whole lot less you can buy an incredible Folbot folding kayak. Not only can you create memories for a lifetime with a Folbot, the Folbot will last as long as those memories. With proper care and our Lifetime Warranty you can be assured that your Folbot will be around to help you make more memories for years to come. Toss your Folbot in your car trunk (helping you save on gas), hop on the subway or train, head to a nearby marsh, lake or ocean, assemble, paddle, and say ahhhhhhhhhh. Fun is good.

And of course, for those of you lucky enough to still be taking the big trips, Folbots are ready to go along with you. Check your kayak as luggage and paddle wherever or whenever the desire strikes. And for those of us staying close to home, just remember, when things are fully recovered and you’re ready to head back out on that big vacation, your trusty Folbot — which helped you through the hard times — can go right along with you.
