Wavewalk Kayaks

Scott sent us more pictures from his Minnesota river trips, and here’s one that tells something about stability:

Scott tells: -”I paddled the Maple river in nice calm waters with good depth, my Pepsi was riding securely in front of me along side my camera.”

Well, if you can keep a soda can securely on your kayak’s deck without using a cup holder while you’re paddling down a sinuous river, it says something about your boat’s primary (initial) stability…

Scott Johnson lives in Minnesota, and has diversified interests in the outdoors - He likes to hunt, fish, and photograph.

Last year Scott contributed a review of his first W kayak, a 2007 model F2, and this year he got himself a second, 2008 F2 model, and sent us a new review.

Last year Scott Johnson from Minnesota got his first W fishing kayak - a 2007 F2 (see review), and this year he a added a 2008 F2 to his fleet.

Scott is an avid fisherman, photographer and hunter, and here are new pictures he sent from his Blue Earth River kayak fishing trip:

And this is Bill sitting in an unconventional position and showing his catch.

Thanks Scott!



Last year Scott Johnson from Minnesota bought a 2007 W fishing kayak that he’s used for photography and bow hunting (See full story).

This year Scott got himself a 2008 model.  With two W kayaks Scott can enjoy W kayak trips in the company of guests, and this time it was his nephew Justin, who’s also an avid hunter and fisherman.

Here is Scott’s report from their first W kayak trip this year: -”The rivers are finally coming down to a safe level but they are very stirred up and muddy. My nephew Justin and I went for our first paddle together yesterday.  More major erosion has widened out the river even further. When we started out we were on a 45 degree muddy incline - I positioned my 2008 Wavewalk kayak square to the water and said “This is how you get started” - a little thrust and I was on my way. I hit the water and bounced the front end a little but easily maintained my balance. Justin was grinning, he also managed the water slide entry with no problem. Going with the current is lots of fun but no work… We saw an eagle on a sandbar eating a fish, it took off and when we checked out the carp he was still flipping around. We had our fish poles but the river was so muddy it seemed pointless.

The important thing is we had a great time just cruising down the river. We are both impressed with the Wavewalk kayaks, they are very versatile. Temps were around 90 so a couple hours was enough. The next outing will be an all day, fishing, shore lunch on a nicer cleaner river. I found a manmade lake about 20 miles frome here. I geuss it has a sand bottom and is nice and clear. It has crappies and sunnies in it, maybe some good fishing will materialize soon!  -Scott”
