More Places to See The W Kayak, in Ohio and Pennsylvania

Posted on January 24, 2012 by W kayak

Clients who wish to see a W kayak before ordering one have two more places where they can do it: One is in Kent, Ohio, located near Akron, at the northeastern corner of the state, and the second is in New Berlin, in central Pennsylvania.
The sample boats are displayed in our custom molders’ facilities in these two locations, which do not function as points of sale.
Visits to both locations are by appointment only, and live demos are not available in either of them.

Contact information is available on our website’s W kayak dealers page >> Continue reading →

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 →

John King’s Full Review Of His Rigged Fishing Kayak, Ohio

Posted on June 29, 2011 by W kayak

I have kept the rigging so far to a minimum until I can spend more time experimenting to decide what is practical and most of all portable.
I plan on building some sort of bracket for a trolling motor for fishing on larger lakes. My kids bought a trolling motor for me on Father’s Day. I also have a wheel that I’m going to figure a way of using for portability. Dragging the W through the grass for a 100yds is a bit of a work out when your sixty something. But that is one of the reasons I decided to start this style of fishing especially when I discovered the W500. Get out and enjoy the thing I love most to do, fish with my sons and take in the beauty of this country that we live in.
My son had just taken first place in a kayak fishing tournament on the Ohio River, the day before this trip and we were both really enjoying the day. He currently uses a SOT kayak but I may be able to sway him over to the W500. I paddled past him a couple of times while standing up, and daring him to do the same. Continue reading →

Quick Review of W500 Fishing Kayak by John King, Ohio

Posted on June 7, 2011 by W kayak

I have only had the w500 out a couple of times, and so far I love it.
Fishing out of it is great and easier than I thought it would be.
My son uses a sot kayak for fishing and he tried the w500 and was impressed with the stability, and how well it tracks.
I hope to get some more time in it soon.
Our weather here (condition of the waterways) has not been great, and my work schedule has been a bit taxing but should slow down in a couple of weeks.
I hope to retire next year and the w500 is going to be getting wet a whole lot.
Still planning out the rigging and should have some of it completed before I take it out the next time. I have noticed you have picked up some more distributors.
When anyone asks me about my w500, they definitely learn that I am very pleased with it. Continue reading →
