-"I use my Wavewalk kayak about once a week now in NC's coastal marshes and creeks.
As I suspected, it is nice to have a dry boat when the water temps are in the low 50"s.
I wear shin high rubber boots which simplifies launching with dry feet, although, with care, I could get away with rubber bottom shoes."
-"I have friends with SOTs and am happy with my decision to go with the wavewalk.
No boat is perfect for all conditions, but this one works for me. "
-"In my view, the key advantage is the ease of launch and landings. My SOT friends take about 15 minutes to rig up their boats and launch them, then do the same upon return.
The wavewalk slips in and out of my S-10 bed in about 3 minutes and is ready to go.
Loaded in the truck. Tying down takes 3 minutes and nothing needs to be removed from the boat, except things that might blow away. For long hauls or rainy weather, I have a cover for the hatch to keep out water."
-"An amusing observation is that lots of folks will say, “I’ve never seen a kayak with wheels before”!..."
-"Another advantage is that I do not have to be so particular about storage of gear.
The SOT folks have to have a particular spot for each item, often a plastic crate behind them, while I have lots of space inside that is much better protected."
