WAVEWALK KAYAKS

I am very satisfied with the kayak. I am thankful that you had invented such a model because it serves my purpose quite well.

The most important thing for me is that I can ride the kayak “straddled” [I.E. in the Riding Position] with my knees bent. I have a back condition that has made the past few years of using a regular canoe painful after a short time out. I must always kneel in a canoe because I cannot sit with my legs straight out in front of me without causing back pain.

I still can use the canoe but am limited to about 1/2 hour before I need to hit the beach and get out and stretch. Your design is much easier on my back and I can easily turn around when I need to stretch a bit. Also being reasonably light in weight and made from a polyethylene material makes it easy for me to get the kayak in the water and then back on my vehicle. A little bumping on the ground is not of much concern.

My balance and comfort level is improving however I wished when the weather was warmer (and a swim was not a problem in warmer water) I had pushed it to the limits. I was content just to go slow with getting a comfort level and now the water is to chilly to risk falling out…

I have yet to send you pictures because I am almost always out solo. It is quite hard to be out in the kayak on the water AND be on the beach at the same time taking pictures… .

Perhaps before the snow hits…and my kayaking is over for this year I may get some pictures.

Both my husband Gary and I enjoyed the W kayak very much.
I had a hip injury a few years ago and as a result, certain sitting positions have proven difficult. When I used the kayak, it was surprisingly a very comfortable kayak. Sitting in it wasn’t difficult since I was able to move my leg by extending it, bending it and standing when needed.
Overall, quite comfortable. I am not a big person, 120 lbs, and managed to travel down our lake with ease.

When Gary used it, he found it easy to paddle. Getting it in and out of the water proved easy enough. I think we both will enjoy it for years to come.

As for problems, none with the W kayak – only with my techniques. Tend to travel to the left but I’m sure with experience, I will be able to paddle straight.

It was better than I thought it would be.

Jeff McGovern is in Canada with his family, on their annual fishing trip.

-”Here is a picture of my brother and I with the largest pike I have ever caught.  I would love to have battled this beast out of a W kayak.  The Emmrod I used is the one my brother is holding.”

Mark Benning is an outdoor sportsman from Welland, Ontario.  He’s also an avid fisherman who got his W kayak not long ago.

Being 6′ 4″ tall he needs a somehow longer paddle – a 9′ 8″ Wavewalk PSP in this case.

Mark also has the body type that matches his height, which makes him weigh 240 lbs, and consequently makes the W kayak look a bit smaller than it looks when other people are paddling it.

Mark is learning about the different paddling positions, and improving his W kayaking technique.
