‘First Impressions’ W Kayak Review, By Sam Wire & Sons, California
I have two sons, one 10 and one 8. I put one of them on one end of the cabin, myself in the middle, and the other son on the other end of the cabin. The one sitting behind me faces the opposite direction so he can fish out the back of the boat. When we weren’t casting into the weed beds, we were trolling around the lake. I was the trolling motor and my kids each would put a pole in the water on opposite sides of the boat. This boat is just roomy enough for me to fit myself and the two kids in the boat so we can all go fishing at once. It is incredibly stable. Continue reading
Detachable Flotation For Fishing Kayak
Flotation is a useful means of recovery for kayaks. Depending on where it is added to the kayak, and how much of it is used, it can assist you in recovering your W kayak, and preventing it from sinking if it gets filled with water, in case you capsize it.
When attached below the kayak’s saddle (Fig. 1-3) the flotation will keep the kayak floating in case it is overturned, and water gets into the hulls. When attached on the kayak’s sides (Fig 4) the flotation modules may prevent the kayak from overturning, could help the kayak right itself if it’s laying on its side, and will assist you in turning it back, and recovering it. Wavewalk kayaks are offered with closed-cell polyethylene foam side flotation modules that you can attach either below the saddle, or or on the kayak’s sides. Each kayak flotation module is 5 ft long (150 cm), and 2.5″ in diameter (6.5 cm), and features a bungee cord going through it, with hooks on both ends. Continue reading
