Man and wife who love the outdoors, not looking for the excitement of whitewater and not for fishing. Mainly looking to canoe/kayak creeks, lakes, large ponds where wind and weather may have an effect. We have canoed and do enjoy it, but never kayaked. We want safety and ease. Possible overnight trips.

Gus & I go kayak fishing in the 10000 islands of south Florida, and I hook a good-sized blacktip shark. This video was done with a helmet cam, and it gives you the perspective of being in the cockpit of the 22″-wide sea kayak, as though you were catching the shark yourself. Be sure to watch all 3 parts - it gets better as it continues. All 3 segments will take a whole 15 minutes out of your life - I think it’ll be worth it. Please leave comments, but understand… the PETA stuff will be deleted. One of my concerns, is that beginning kayak fishers will read the reports that I write, watch the You Tube videos, etc., and get the impression that this is an established sport, and that anyone with a kayak and a fishing rod can go out and do it. I do not mean to give that impression. Fishing for shark, tarpon, amberjack, cobia, etc. from kayaks is NOT for the uninitiated. There are real risks, and real dangers involved. Sure, it’s exciting, but it is “extreme kayak fishing”. When you go after these species and other large species, you are dealing with an apex predator that is capable of putting a real hurt on you when things go wrong. You need to know the risks, and be prepared… and even then, things can still go wrong. If you are thinking about doing extreme kayak fishing, then you need to understand that you are taking the risks upon yourself. I understand that, and accept that. I am not new to kayaking. I have been kayaking for about 15 years, and have experienced extreme …

To get the kayak, life vest, and all of the equipment, how much should I be looking to spend if I’m just beginning and planning on just doing local rivers/creeks and lakes. What equipment do I need anyway?

Ever jumped straight into one of those cool looking, dart-like kayaks? The playboats? Or those long and slim sea puppies? Ever fallen out as quick as you hopped in ’cause you’ve never kayaked before? Don’t let it discourage you: just like surfing in kayaking you have to start by getting a handle on the basics. That’d be balance, people. So the good folk at Roman have teamed with Dragonfly Innovations to bring to Australasia a range of starter kayaks aimed at getting more people into the sport. Now even the most wicked paddler should agree that’s a good thing. And so too then, are these boats…

If you want to know how to launch a kayak, get on or off a kayak, get in or out of a kayak , how to use a paddle or oar to get on or off a kayak - you need to see this video. Accudock went to great lengths coming up with a very small floating Kayak dock with incredible stability that would allow easy and safe access to a kayak at low low tides. This is our smallest dock in our Kayak and Rowing dock line-up - yet it has the stability of a very large dock due to our stabilizing brackets, and has room to tie your Kayak down for storage until you’re ready to use it.

In terms of Abrasion/ puncture resistance…
If possibility, would you please include the weight capacity, cargo space, maneuverability (white water vs. multi-day tours).
There are lots of articles and sales descriptions but I’d like to get boater perspectives.
Thanks in advance.

I am at the lake for a month visiting family, and they have kayaks I can use. I thought I could kayak for about an hour a day. Is this a good way to burn off lower and all over belly fat? I want to take advantage of this benefit if it is one.
