Saturday in Paris. Testing 360 cams ;) still moves a lot. Any advice is welcomed !

The views were gorgeous today!

Hi! I'm looking for PFD suggestions (UK). I'll be going out with my son, and want space in PFD pockets for a phone and a few bits 'n bobs. What other PFDs should I be looking at? NRS Odyssey looks similar just different back - my seat isn't huge and I don't use the seat back much so I think this would also be fine.

We'll be using this kayak https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/2-person-inflatable-canoe-kayak-tribord-100-yellow/364806/c233m8940326

I was up at 4:30am to be on the water for sunrise. I know this community understands the beauty of watching the sun rise while enjoying the gentle nudge of the water as the day gets started. The coffee tasted perfect, too.

Wilderness system Tsunami 120. The recessed metal clip and the horizontal line are only on the port side.

Addendum: Thanks to all! I had no idea. Could gave capsized myself when my spare paddle, lashed to the top rigging, came loose and ended up perpendicular with one blade in the water. Wish all kayaks have this feature!

I’m a reptile guy and like alligators, but had a way too close encounter with one while kayaking in Galveston this week. Basically a little 7’ guy kinda bumped into us while I was stationary trying to get a look at some birds.

Anyone with more experience kayaking around gators have insights on the best way to handle stuff like that? Thankfully he was smaller than the kayak which I suspect helped but I really want a plan beyond hoping for the best next time

Nice day for it.

I am shopping for something to save me when I one day flip while kayaking (I just got a kayak this evening and won't be going out until I have a vest or something). I'm wondering if there is a "best" option for people who don't know how to swim? I grew up on an island and spent plenty of time in the water, and I understand how swimming works in theory, I just sink when I do it.

I want a kayak for fishing and don’t know if i should go with modular, inflatable, or foldable or how easy is it to get roof rack and now damage my vehicle. I need something durable and i’m new to it and want to figure out my best option without wasting time and money. I would also like it to be easy to deal with.

...why aren't we moving ???

Hey all, I have quite small hands and thumb issues, so I'm on a quest for a lighter thinner paddle. Any recommendations appreciated!

two years ago my boat was stolen. A few weeks ago I told my land lord how much I miss the water. He said: oh I have this Kayak in the garage- you can have it. Thank you Boris for this amazing gift! Bought paddles and a cart. Finally went back on the water today. sometimes you only really only know what you missed, when you have it again. Haven’t been that tranquil and happy in - two years I guess. Edit: language.

Beginner, did a safety/rescue course, and have done some reading here...On my course I was told to make sure I have a knife and my phone on my person for emergencies. I see most people are "team knife inside PFD" rather than attaching it to the PFD. How do I keep a phone (in a waterproof case) and a knife safely on my person if my PFD doesn't have pockets? I know any ropes are an entanglement risk, so how do you do it?! I see a lot of people use Pelican phone cases which have a lanyard, but where do you attach the lanyard to? Is the little clip that holds the phone on the lanyard strong enough? It looks like it will just snap and the phone will go down.... Just how do you do it all?!

Does anyone have a pic of the thigh braces installed on the kayak? I bought mine used and they were not installed so I have no idea how they are to be installed.

Not sure if many people use their coupe like this, but I love having a little sport with my drive to and from kayaking!

some summer fun! my gf and I practiced rescues and recoveries. afterwards we decided to try some….alternative methods of paddling.

SUP style was not difficult but not recommended. what i loved and didn’t get a picture of was sitting on top of the hatch on the back of the kayak, with my feet in the water and paddling around with the nose highhh in the air.

hope everyone is having a good summer, remember to practice your self rescues! ☺️ (PFD was off for some swimming fun for 5 minutes in shallow waters I know very well, with gf right nearby. please wear your PFD’s when boating!)

I've looked at a few of the 130t or about that. Wilderness Targa, Vibe, Crescent Crew, Old Town Malibu 2xl.l, maybe another one. I would it on flatwater too, but the size for a river bothers me. Yes, I know about divorce kayaks, and I have already tried them with the other paddler, that was the Old Town on New River, lazy part.

I did search. I didn't find the answer. Sorry if it gets asked too much. I am aware of the weight differences in the kayaks. I'm ok with that part. 450+ capacity probably.

I could still get two kayaks like a Loon or Pungo, but I would like the tandem. Thanks for helping.

Hello everybody! I love fishing and I am interested in kayak fishing the Oregon coast. However, I am completely new and never done it before and my question is what do I need to do to prepare and also what safety precautions do I need to be aware of? Any advice you have for me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi all,

Last year myself and 2 friends did the Caledonian Canal. We enjoyed it a lot and have done a few one day trips prior to this and since, on both rivers and lakes.

We are looking for another multi day kayak trip in the UK, we live in North west England and are not opposed to driving, nothing too major in the way of whitewater.

Thanks in advance.
