Kayak and Canoe Thread

Late to the party: I think you'll be happy with the Dagger, I've not used that particular boat before but the Dagger's I've used have all been good. I've always had a thing for Pyrhana, and would have said to take a look at the Scorch, but the Dagger looks a good 'un.

I was just reminiscing about when I was at university. We had a kayak in the club that started out as a low volume stunt boat, but someone decided to make it even more low volume after it had an accident. They heated up and pushed in the front end to create a concave bow deck, and also gave it an almost flat back deck. There was barely space for your legs, and it almost looked like it had been vacuum formed over the user. We called it "The Flid" as you couldn't walk very well after using it, we'd probably all be kicked out for calling it that in this day and age heh. It was shit for everything but pirouetting on flat water, but it was fun as hell for that.

Kayak arrived this afternoon. As I expected, it’s a pretty tight fit. But, I was able to remove the hip pads to make room left and right, and am going to adjust the knee/thigh hooks to make more room for my thighs, and should be in good shape from there. Fortunately the outfitting is extremely adjustable, I’ll just need to tinker with it some before I get it on the water later this week.

Looks good, have fun with it. The interiors never fit, I always used to just duck tape pieces of camping mat in for padding.

Petition to just change it to watercraft in general? I should just rent but now that I'm surrounded by lakes I'm kinda jetski curious. I dont fish either but kawasaki about to release some fishing jet ski seems interesting.

Am I going to die in some tractor supply $200 canoe/kayak thing?
