I’m planning on doing local lakes, rivers and streams, possibly a bay or two. Never going over a class 3, and don’t plan on doing any long tours. Would still like to be able to do barrel rolls ( classes pending).

I am looking for a personal gps unit for hiking and kayaking. I saw one not too long ago that works very very simply. You turn it on and mark your position when starting out and it tells you how to get back. That’s all it does. It is meant to be worn on a jacket zipper or a lanyard. Can someone tall me where to find it or suggest something else? Thanks in advance.

First rolls with a Delta Twelve Ten kayak and an Old Town Loon 120 kayak. The paddler learned how to roll 7 years ago in a pool and has only rolled once since then, while demoing an Impex Mystic kayak a month ago. So it can’t be that hard! (Video shot by Ernst Schneider)

Me and two of my friends were planning on going Kayaking in the Puget Sound in WA this summer but I am also looking at other options. We are all 16, 16, and 17 years old. I looked at ziplining but there is nothing like that in Washington State. Does anybody have any good ideas? I don’t really know all the extreme sports. Our budget is around 60-80 dollars. THanks so much

Hi there! My boyfriend and i are visiting San Diego for a few days. Does anybody have any suggestions for a good hotel? We’re hoping to surf everyday and also do the kayaking at the La Jolla sea caves, do the old town trolley tour, etc…

Does anybody have a suggestion for a good hotel (hopefully no more than 0 a night) in a decent location for our planned activities?

Also, if anybody has a suggestion for something we should see/do, that will also be much appreciated.

I have researched the differences between a sit in and sit on kayak. I don’t want one of each and they both support things I want to do with them (i.e. fishing and swimming). I would like someones opinion that has used both types.

I’m planning on buying a wavesport Z river kayak just to use for surf kayaking in the sea and i wanted to know if it would be a appropriate kayak to get.

I live a few miles from a river called Fish Creek (in NY) and it is known for some of the best/most challenging whitewater in the state. The upper part has several class 3+, a few class 4 rapids, one class 5 and one class 6. Its intense. There is a dam however that kind of slows the river down because the highest level rapid after the dam is a class 3+. This is where we would start.

I have never WHITEWATER KAYAKED before. I have been Whitewater rafting a couple times and I go kayaking/canoeing all the time just nothing higher than class 2 (technically making it whitewater). I am very physically fit and I love challenges, its why I get up in the morning.

I own an Old Town Otter (bottom of the line closed-cockpit) and it doesnt even have foot braces.
WILL I BE ABLE TO HANDLE CLASS 2-3+ RAPIDS WITH THIS CRAFT?

I am not worried about myself, I just dont want to try something with equipment that isnt suitable. I know they make special whitewater kayaks that cost thousands, with one of those I wouldnt hesitate to try any level rapid.

Will my otter make it? Why, why not?

Any other suggestions/advice greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Im not taking any advice from a Dutchmen….

I want to get into kayaking, and found these deals in my area
Perception Amp-5
Necky Jive-0
Wave Sport T1-0
Wave Sport E-Z-5
Now I am 5′ 10" 135 lbs, if that makes a difference.
And price does matter for me, so if they are fairly close to each other performance wise, I will probably buy the cheapest one.

Hi, Ive been looking at some kayaks online and have found quite a bit. I decided I want a hardshell, sit in one. The Old Town brand has caught my attention with there Old Town Rush, Otter, and Otter XT. Now I’m 200lbs so I get by on the weight capacity but I am also 6′4 so I think there might be a problem. Would these kayaks fit me? if not what are some other good starter kayaks?

Thanks..

I am looking for a waterproof GPS unit for kayaking. I do mostly lazy river and lake kayaking. It would also be used for biking, hiking and some driving. Color would be nice as would mapping. I’d choose color over mapping but that’s just me. I don’t really want to spend more on map subscriptions than on the unit itself.

I am looking for a new kayak for fishing in fresh & salt water. I have it between 2 models; the Wilderness systems Tarpon 120 angler and the Ocean Prowler 13 angler. Any advice??? I can’t seem to make the decision. Really would like to hear what you don’t like about each of these as well as that may be the determining factor. I will be buying the new 2010 model either way..

If you think I should consider a different kayak brand I am open to suggestions but have looked at a lot of different ones before getting to these 2.

This is the prototype Angler Fishing Kayak developed to be able to have a Minn Kota electric motor put on it. Fishing is now a hands free exercize. Speeds of upto 8km/h have been achieved so far with a 40lb Minn Kota motor. The battery used has been a 70amp hour deep cycle which gives kilometers of travel. The motor can be trimmed up & out of the water if you need to go thru shallow water. The motor can also be stowed well out of the way if you dont want to use it & don’t want it in the water. The Angler makes fishing so easy, it is going to revolutionise kayak fishing. The addition of a Humminbird fish finder finishes the package off with everything you need to find & catch fish. The Angler takes stealth fishing to the ultimate conclusion. See more info & pics on this kayak at www.sweetwaterfishing.com.au
