Roxanne Launching and Paddling Her W500 Fishing Kayak Stading Up
Well here is an update with me launching and standing and paddling. I did this for a fellow in Georgia, on another site, he is very interested in the W300 and W500.
The Traffic noise was at its peek today, sorry its hard to hear me, well maybe not. 
You’ll see in the video just how smooth it paddles while I’m standing.
And when I land, I just paddle full steam ahead, and shift my weight to the rear as I hit the shore line where I launched, and remember, it was steep. But the landing is not on the Video, I ran out of room!
The hulls just glide up the bank, I move forward, stand up, and walk out. Again, never getting my feet wet.
Launching the W500:
Voila!
Standing and paddling in the W500:
Happy Paddling All,
Rox

Nice job Rox! When you showed that dirt slide area in the first piece I thought it looked just like a gator slide here in Florida. When we have pads and back waters like you were fishing it all adds up to gators. I’ve yet to get a nice shot of one from the W but maybe soon. The stand and paddle vid shows quite well how soild as a dock the W500 can be. I wish I could do the dry foot launch here but the shallows go so far out in most flats you have to walk the boats to water deep enough to float. Be sure to follow up with some fish pictures that spot of yours looked mighty productive.

It just occurred to me that Rox’s kayak launching video shows why a milk crate would block the entrance to the cockpit, and it also shows why getting into the cockpit from the back is better than entering from the side.
Keep your feet dry!
