The REI Member Dividend

The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Comments about Wilderness Systems Ride 115 Sit-On-Top Kayak - 2011/2012:

Great for my uses; casual riding, fishing, cross-training/exercise, camping trips, river, lake.
Under 12ft makes it pretty easily maneuverable for me to access fishing holes less accessible to larger boats. Great exercise tool for upper body work, cardio, & muscle conditioning. Easy transport as well, no need for any kind of bed extender or roof rack (I drive a '10 Tundra regular bed). Water-proof storage is sufficient for day use, my small ice chest fits well in the rear bungee storage area.
Perhaps the best thing about my RIDE115 is the stability it has combined with the capacity(lbs). I am 5'10" 215lbs, it holds me and my gear which could surpass 50lbs extra like a champ! There is no water splashing up from the scupper holes even. I can paddle surf or cast my reel from a standing position fairly easily.
The only negatives I have are the weight; 76lbs can be taxing if you are moving it solo, & the seat back gets in the way of my life jacket. I have a medium backed jacket but even when I wore a high back jacket it still rode up a little (this problem could be a sizing issue, but I believe it does have something to do with the seat back). For me, these are small potatoes in the more grand picture of my liking to this boat...
I have had this boat for about a year...
I LOVE THIS BOAT!!!
