John’s Report From a Windy Day’s Kayak Fishing Trip

Posted on June 18, 2011 by W kayak

Went out yesterday for a couple of hours. Managed to catch a few bass. It was a very windy afternoon but it was no problem for the Wavewalk. It was fun as always to be able to stand and cast and also sit in comfort while using the Wavewalk. Continue reading →

River Rescue Operation Standing Up In A Fishing Kayak – Wisconsin

Posted on June 17, 2011 by W kayak

Says John -”I have noticed another advantage of the Wavewalk kayak. A trip does not go by without me finding lures in trees that other fishermen are not able to reach from their conventional kayak on streams and rivers.

The Best Fishing Kayak For Children

Posted on June 15, 2011 by W kayak

Undoubtedly, kids love the W500 (not that they didn’t like its predecessor, the W300…)
Whether they go in it with a parent, a grandparent, or friend or a sibling – they always have a lot of fun!
Kids can go in a W500 not only in tandem but sometimes in a crew of three, and that may include an adult… A pretty good deal without any doubt, until they discover they can paddle without adult supervision, and create their little, floating, adult free zone :)
Kids love to paddle standing, and doing it in a W500 is a no brainer, not just because it’s the world’s most stable kayak, but also due to the fact that it’s quite narrow (28.5″), which makes it easier for kids to paddle although they are shorter than adults, and their arms are shorter too.
