John King & Son Running Rapids In Fishing Kayaks On A River In Ohio – Movie & Trip Report

Posted on July 31, 2011 by W kayak

Just a short video of a river trip my son and I took. A small rapids run that the w500 seem to handle very well. A set of rapids that we ran later was larger and had some 3ft swells, that was interesting!
The w500 is not a whitewater kayak but it does pretty well when you pay attention to how the water is moving. What’s funny is at the end of the video my son hung up on a rock that I slid right over…
We ran 4.5 miles of the river in about 4hrs that day, floating and fishing. Another great day on the the water in my W500.
Been to busy the past couple of weeks and have not been able to get out on the water. Have made some Fall kayak fishing trip plans on a couple of larger lakes and rivers. Continue reading →

Kayak Review by Kayaker With Spinal Fusion – Laura Palestrini, Georgia

Posted on May 25, 2011 by W kayak

I had spinal fusion six years ago. I have always wanted to Kayak but I know there is no way that I can sit in the L position on a regular kayak.
I contacted Norm Craig, a W kayaker who had spinal fusion too, and he assured me I would be fine with the W500.

I love my W kayak. I have taken it out about 7 times and my longest trip was about 2 hours. It is very easy on my back. Continue reading →
