Long time no talk, I’m still in the same place, and I still love the Wavewalk. Wanted to send you my latest shenanigans. Lake Tahoe West shore- East shore- West shore, 21 miles 5.5 hours (w photo/hydration breaks) @ 6000’ elevation. Rubicon bay to Cave Rock to Rubicon bay. Here are some photos,
Cheers Edwin

Thanks Edwin,
Truly impressive! I would expect this kind of speed from an extra long and slim touring kayak, and not from a 12’10” super-stable multi-purpose watercraft 😀
But I guess the W700 is a Touring Kayak, in the sense that you can use it for long distance kayaking trips, with or without carrying a lot of gear and an extra passenger on board, and without a motor.
Looks like you’re still in good shape, after all these years – power to you!

Hey Edwin…..your story reminds me of my five years in Reno, and my trips around the west side of the lake. You should have had a fishing rod with you trolling for one of those nice lake trout on the way across.
Maybe you should try trip down the Truckee River and across Pyramid Lake next??
😀
Gary, I’m beginning to think that maybe you’re hooked on fishing…

Yoav….don’t you know that paddling without fishing is like getting a kiss from your sister.
🙂
These days I hardly paddle anymore, since I prefer to drive my S4, especially when the sea is choppy.
