The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly – Aesthetics and Performance in Fishing Kayak Design
What’s important in a product varies according to what different people are interested in. If you’re into kayak fishing, you’d be interested a number of things, including stability, comfort, storage, etc. offered to you by that kayak. In other words, for a kayak angler, the beauty of a kayaks depends first and foremost on its fishability, which is a composite measure of a fishing kayak’s performance.
For example, if you’re into kayak fishing, and you saw a kayak that’s very fast but also very unstable, it would seem useless to you, and therefore unattractive.

“Too Much Storage In This Fishing Kayak”
Once in a while, working in the kayak business brings about a little, silly joy that I feel like sharing with others… 
The latest of these anecdotes was emailed to me by Gary Johnson, from Texas:
Gary was having an argument with other kayak anglers, some of which are presumably kayak dealers, sales reps, etc., on an online, Texas fishing forum, and one of those other participants commented about the W500 that “It had too much storage for a fishing kayak”.
That’s right: -”Too much storage for a fishing kayak”. Continue reading
