Hi, I am building a Guillemot here in Dublin, Ireland and whilst I can get timber easily (even Westeren Red Cedar !!) other items are difficult to come by.

I will be visiting my daughter in Chicago (actually North Western University) later this year, so I thought.....

Does anybody know of a store there which sells a good range of kayaking equipment... foam, sprayskirts etc. or should I just mail-order and have the stuff sent to my daughters address so I can pick it up ??

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.
