THE BARGE – A NEW CLASS OF FISHING KAYAKS
The title of this piece should have been: “The Barge – A New Class of Fishing Kayaks, And Why It’s Even Worse Than You Imagine”… 
But long headlines are not elegant, so it got cut. Most people know what the term Barge means when kayaks are referred to: It’s a big, wide, long, heavy kayak that’s hard to car top, hard to carry, hard to launch, hard to paddle, and hard to beach. A Barge is a kayak that’s slow, and doesn’t track well, hence the expression “A barge to paddle”. 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
