Any Sea Kayakers In The House?

[10 Pence Short]

Are there any here who go Sea Kayaking?

I've recently started working for a manufacturer and would appreciate some feedback, preferably via the email address in my profile.

Cheers!

Watching Robson Greene doing that in Extreme Fishing last night was enough to put me off for life

Yes, but feedback about what? Which manufacturer?

[John Darwin]

I've done it once - didn't turn out too well.

Given up now.

In part, yes. I don't want to discuss names on here, though.

Just got myself sorted out with an Ocean Kayak Prowler 13, the Angling version. Going out in it later on today for a first paddle around, see how it all works together.

Roof rack, dry suit, thermal undersuit, VHF Marine radio, depthfinder, anchor system, Scotty rod holders, trolly, it's a lot to be gettng on with.

OMG !! I take it your just using it for fishing then. It will be still freezing over there at the moment?? You will need a flask of hot soup or tea then to add to that

It wasn't so bad, apart from my feet. It felt like I had 2 blocks of ice by the end of the session. I must invest in some diver's neoprene boots. Water temp was somewhere around 48 deg F - couldn't find how to change that readout on the depthsounder.

It's deffo going to be for angling only - none of that paddling for the sake of pleasure paddling malarky for me.

A trip report and photos are on another site. Dunno if I can post a link here...
