The scenery was beautiful and we had to negotiate a few obstacles. I would like to use the term that Chris used on his post we were “Guerrilla Kayaking”.
Again the “W” showed its ability to carry two people well over 150 lbs. in shallow water, its light enough to traverse through the marsh with little effort and rugged enough to “Guerrilla Kayak” over logs when we had to, and we were able to thread the needle in the smallest of openings.
Two nights before this, during the full moon we were scared out of this same creek by a very evil and low growl, come to find out it wan an American alligator bellowing – either a male warning us to get out of its territory or female letting us know we were to close to her nest. On this night the “W’ proved how versatile it was by making complete 180 in a narrow creek and picking up speed with every deep stroke. What a night.

The wind was blowing at 35 mph, with long gusts of up to 55 mph, beating the waters of this small lake to waves between 1 and 2 ft high.
Such waves are almost unnoticed when you’re paddling the W500, but paddling standing up against such powerful headwind isn’t easy, as you’ll see in this movie:

Can you jump up and down, and from side to side in the W500? -Absolutely!
Can you fall down with all your weight without losing balance at all, and rise to your feet instantly and with zero effort? -Absolutely!
-Watch this classic video and see for yourself:

The paddler in both videos is middle aged, non athletic, 6 ft tall (1.84 m), and weighs 200 lbs (90.7 kg)- He’s neither a small sized, lightweight guy, nor an athlete who just graduated from college.

The 28.5″ wide W kayak offers unrivaled stability – Much more than any other kayak, including extra wide ones, and even kayaks outfitted with outriggers.
What’s the technical explanation behind such unrivaled stability? –

True stand up paddling requires a kayak that fulfills a number of basic requirements. The W kayak is the only kayak offering true stand up paddling – Interested to learn more about stand up paddling? – Continue reading >>

It also shows how side flotation helps in overturning a flipped W500 kayak.
