Sunset Kayak Paddling Trip On The Oconomowoc River, Wisconsin, By John Fabina

W kayak — Mon, 21 May 2012 01:11:11 +0000

Jeanne and I took some friends out for a little grilling and a sunset paddle on part of the Oconomowoc River. I was able to pack the grill right behind me and we had plenty of room for all the coolers holding all the food and beverages for our outing.
It always amazes us how much we can comfortably carry aboard our Wavewalks. It really opens up all sorts of options for W kayak trips.

South Korean Kayak Fishing Trip Report: Beauty, Fun, Fish, and Food

W kayak — Wed, 02 May 2012 16:02:30 +0000

Here’s a kayak fishing trip report, courtesy of Sungjin Kim, who distributes W fishing kayaks in Korea.
Sungjin and his wife took a pair of W kayaks, and went on a fishing and fun trip in the mountains. The beauty of the scenery is breathtaking, and the fishing seems pretty good too!
They cooked a real meal on the beach, and after the trip ended, they dined in a restaurant. What could be better?
Sungjin drove his motorized W outfitted with the 2 hp 4-cycle Honda outboard (it’s the first W fishing kayak that got such a motor!), and towed the second kayak during parts of the trip.

Aluminum Motor Mount For W Fishing Kayak, By Jeff Taubes

W kayak — Tue, 01 May 2012 16:12:08 +0000

I have made some modifications to the motor mount designs out there, and this is what I have come up with. I have to thank Bruce Ramsey at Action Marine and Welding in Cape Coral for the fine aluminum work.
The wood used in the mount is Oak, which I will be treating with a Marine Grade Finish. I have added two bolts on each side for increased stability.
I also made some gaskets out of an old tire and cut them to fit between the mount plates and the Kayak to reduce any potential vibration and slippage.
The Oak was used on the mounting plate to increase traction for the motor. On the back side there are 2 layers of 1/2″ oak. One of the layers has 1 and 1/2″ holes cut out where the mounting screws for the motor can be inset. In the unlikely event of these bolts coming loose, this will prevent the motor from slipping to the side.
If you would like to order one for yourself call or email me at Florida Fishing Kayaks, Cape Coral.
$235 is the price of this mount. This is only designed for the 20″ Honda 2 HP.
