John and Jeanne, and Their W Kayaks, in a Cold Fall Paddle Trip – Wisconsin

Posted on October 31, 2010 by W kayak

Jeanne and I took advantage of the weather and went out on a late fall paddle trip. Before we had our Wavewalks I would of thought twice about taking a trip this time of year.

4 Guys Yakking and Fishing in the Flats, North of Pellicer, Florida

Posted on October 25, 2010 by W kayak

It’s kind of funny but when a few of us get together for kayak fishing there are times it’s more chatting than fishing… Anyway we headed north on the intercoastal maybe a mile or so before heading into the flats north of Pellicer.

‘First Impression’ Fishing Kayak Review, by Gary Johnson, Texas

Posted on October 21, 2010 by W kayak

I had initially thought I might want to add an electric motor for powered use – NOT ANYMORE!! Paddling the W500 is so easy and even going into a 10mph breeze it was almost effortless. For those who say the W500 won’t glide and won’t track straight I say you are FULL OF HOOEY!! Paddling couldn’t have been easier Continue reading →
