It was easy to handle, incredibly stable and just a pleasure to operate.<br \/>\nWe actually loaded it on top, front and back, and between us &#8211; it was still stable.<br \/>\nI did have some trouble to get out when the gear was around. But this is a fishing boat, not a camping canoe, maybe I am asking too much.<br \/>\nI think for the next trip we will make some kind of harness to attach to the front and back, and load our most light dry bags on top connected with harness for security. That will free leg space. We do not have that many pictures though &#8211; just two worth to show &#8211; one right before the rain and one on our way back &#8211; beautiful Vermont summer day!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14754\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14754\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14754 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/tandem-paddling-Wavewalk-700-camping-trip-Vermont-1024.jpg\" alt=\"tandem-paddling-Wavewalk-700--camping-trip-Vermont-1024\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/tandem-paddling-Wavewalk-700-camping-trip-Vermont-1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/tandem-paddling-Wavewalk-700-camping-trip-Vermont-1024-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/tandem-paddling-Wavewalk-700-camping-trip-Vermont-1024-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/tandem-paddling-Wavewalk-700-camping-trip-Vermont-1024-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14754\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Before the rain storm &#8211; Wavewalk 700 Tandem kayak loaded with camping gear, Vermont<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14753\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14753\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14753 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/tandem-paddling-Wavewalk-700-camping-trip-Vermont-1024-2.jpg\" alt=\"tandem-paddling-Wavewalk-700--camping-trip-Vermont-1024-(2)\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/tandem-paddling-Wavewalk-700-camping-trip-Vermont-1024-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/tandem-paddling-Wavewalk-700-camping-trip-Vermont-1024-2-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/tandem-paddling-Wavewalk-700-camping-trip-Vermont-1024-2-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/tandem-paddling-Wavewalk-700-camping-trip-Vermont-1024-2-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14753\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">On the way back &#8211; Wavewalk 700 Tandem kayak loaded with camping gear, Vermont<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/reviews\/wavewalk-700-reviews\/\">More Wavewalk\u00ae 700 reviews \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Galina Slastenko Massachusetts The kayak was beyond all expectations!
