Boyd and Sandy Autumn Kayaking In Southern Ontario’s Grand River. Canada

Posted on October 24, 2011 by W kayak

October is a beautiful month for kayaking.
Here in southern Ontario, the leaves are at their peak colours and the heavy rains have raised the river flow to provide some exciting white water opportunities.
The W500 is higher and drier than other kayaks.

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 →

Jeanne Paddling Standing In Her W500 Kayak, And Scouting For Fish – Wisconsin

Posted on July 15, 2011 by W kayak

After a check on the weather, we decided to take the W’s out for a ride on the Oconomowoc River. When we decide to go at the last minute , it only takes us five minutes to load up the W’s in the truck and head out. The weather was perfect and the water was the clearest I have seen this year. I am amazed at what an improved view I have standing in the Wavewalk kayak. I can see so more fish and aquatic life from this height. My Wavewalk does not seem to bother the fish even when I glide near them. When John can’t find the fish, I tell him they’re over here by me. John even caught a few fish on the surface with his J11 floating Rapala. It’s fun to watch these fish attack on the surface!

“Fish Eat Fish”, by Chris Ott, Massachusetts

Posted on July 14, 2011 by W kayak

I went back to the Quineboag River last Tuesday and paddled upstream. I came back downstream mostly standing and gently paddling standing and fishing for those three hours.
Now for this amusing picture. You may have heard of the expression that it is a “dog eat dog world”. I believe this extends to other species in the animal kingdom -

Kayak Paddling Trip Report From The Milwaukee River, WI

Posted on June 25, 2011 by W kayak

Jeanne and I woke up this morning and the sky was blue!
We had wanted to head down town and take a Milwaukee river tour with our Wavewalks for some time now. We took advantage of the nice morning and put our W’s in the truck and we were off. We ran into fellow kayakers and canoeists also taking advantage of the day.
Jeanne and I fielded many questions as usual about our Wavewalks – “those look comfortable” Yes they are, I responded. “must be heavy?” Nope, 59lbs.
Then I would stand up. “Wow, pretty stable huh? ” VERY stable. It was a great paddle and a fun tour of downtown Milwaukee. Showing other paddlers the advantages of our Wavewalks never get old.
