Jeremy’s Wavewalk Kayak First Impression – Mississippi

Jeremy is a long time sea kayaker and small boat sailor from Mississippi, who got his new W-kayak a few days ago. Here is his first impression:

-”It arrived last thursday. 15 minutes later I put it in the water in my work clothes including shoes and tie. Spent about 30 minutes playing around.
Clearly there’s a learning curve as it felt a bit wobbly, I’d guess because of the straight sides and high seat position.  I didn’t test it to discover the tipping point as I was in my suit complete with cell phone.  I half stood up, feeling a bit shaky, but then remembered cell phone and sat back down.  I’m sure I’ll be more relaxed when I figure out where the tip point is.  I had company this weekend so it will be Saturday before I get a  chance to really test it out.
On the plus side, I exited with dry shoes, a dry rear, and went back to work without ever changing.  Could never have done that in one of my [traditional] kayaks.  Also, was able to move fore and aft with no issues, again not possible in [my other] kayaks.—J.”
