Question/Advice -- General Want to move to E Coast of FL for good kayaking - any recs?

1 Upvotes

We're looking at basically any coastal area between Jax and Vero Beach that would give us quick kayak access (as in less than 10 minutes via walk or bike or golf cart), preferably ocean or IC waterway. We work remotely so no need to be near any town. Any suggestions? TIA!

I'm based in China and it's pretty impossible to source a folding kayak at an affordable price here. I've done quite a lot of questionable design choices due to the lack of equipement and material, so don't know how well it would turn out in the real environment

Lake Natoma, flat as a pancake. Did a 7.1 mile loop, powered by tasty tunes and ice cold water. Dabbled with kayaks over the years, but this spring, transitioned to a sit-in, and never looked back. I kayak 2-3 times a week, really tightened up my core. Mainly did it for the solo experience, quiet and recharging.

a bent shaft carbon fiber paddle

my Pungo 120. Evidently, the Goldilocks of the kayaks. Light, tracks, fast, roomy. Cockpit cassette for storage, Phase 3 seat, I’m a fan

I forsee lots more kayaking in my future.

My brand new Eddyline arrived today. Packaging looked mostly fine (flagged a few things on the form thankfully but not in the problem area).

This was hidden under the cardboard on the stern. Bow also has a spot that looks like it was dropped but not cracked (also under where the cardboard covered.)

Just disappointed. I'm sure that Eddyline will take care of it but I was on such a high.

When kayaking you will often hear whales before you see them. I thought I had heard one nearby and was pleasantly surprised when these two came up near me.

Question/Advice -- Boat Recommendations Adding foam floatation blocks??

1 Upvotes

Just picked up a Sundolphin 10, going to clean and spitshine, a d can see if it got totally swamped might just sink like a rock. I got to thinking about adding some kind of flotation blocks or some kind of buoyancy items to add into the bow and aft area. Anyone done something similar and have suggestions?

Subreddit feedback/Suggestions Am I going about this wrong? Could use some advice.

9 Upvotes

So I've been rec kayacking for a few years, living in nyc taking an inflatable up to a lake which usually calm and then to a local bay where waters were a bit choppy. After realizing I want to expand I decided to get a tucktech and ended up capsizing in choppy lake waters and overall a bad experience.

Im planning on returning the tucktech and get something else.

I want to be able to paddle on bays and explore what ever Id like. I do weigh a little heavy at 240lbs and really want to either get a oru Bay or Pakayak because they could support mw. I cannot transport a hard shell and i like the transport of the foldables.

My parner says, just stick with the inflatable which I hate but it works for her I guess. I really want to be able to have a vessel to take out in any kind of waters and have a good time or a challenging time.

Open to any advice, really want to go further with paddling but I think the cheaper products I've been getting have been limiting me.

Question/Advice -- Boat Recommendations Perception outlaw

1 Upvotes

Hi. So i’m getting started in kayak fishing and think about getting a perception outlaw that I saw on marketplace that is in great condition and that I negotiated to 700$ CAD. The price is pretty good but I wanted to know your feeling with it. I know it’s stable but how versatile is it? Are you obligated to go in Small Lake and pond that have low to zero current or is it possible to go in place that are a bit more agitated? I’m looking to buy an anchor wizard system to help it stay in place and eventually I would like to put a trolling motor on it but for some Time I would only paddle. Is it as hard as people say it is to paddle with this kayak?
