So, whose up for a kayak org invasion?

City/destination doesn't matter to me. Though I'd love to kayak Alaska

I spoke to my brother today. seems like he does sometimes rent kayaks in the summer. He says that you can go with the kayak all the way to the island. Sounds like fun to me.

ItsOnlyMe said:

I'm totally in! Even though I have to get a fucking passport to go to Canada now

Imago said:

We'll rent a double seated kayak and I'll let you sit behind me

ItsOnlyMe said:

I'll stop by the post office tomorrow to fill out the pass port application.

Great pics. Nice flip-flops. Flip-flops are good.

Fauxie said:

I mentioned the flip flops earlier, great minds think alike!

This thread is about kayaking. Not flip-flops, toes, my balls, or ass!


ok, maybe we had a little sidebar about Ariel's ass and stuff, but still!

That kayak is all that, does it come in plaid?

karmatornado said:

Imago said:

Yeah, 'cause your feet got in the pics by accident.

Imago said:

for real...

We could do one in England too! I'll be there 3 times at least over the next 3 years! Near Cambridge.

Imago said:

Why? are you stalking someone there? Can I see a pic of him?

Imago said:

What the hell, and why?

OMG Awesome pics. Florida is so beautiful.

KWYM about the weather. I'm finally getting happy too, now that its getting nicer.

the 13 foot blue kayak is a perception gemini

is that good?

SureThing said:

Yes, my mood is completely changing because the weather is changing.

eraclito said:

Perception makes great kayaks. I almost went with a perception instead of the Prowler 15. I think I chose the Prowler cuase it was almost an inch more narrow than the perception model---not becuase of quality or asthetics.

Imago said:

excellent, the kayak has been used for a season, so i am getting it for a vastly reduced price.

what other pieces of equipment do i need, is a helmet mandatory, cos my hair fucked up as it is..

eraclito said:

Paddles. A decent pair will cost 100-150 bucks.
A really nice pair can run as high as 500 bucks (super light weight).


And then you need to check with your coastguard (or an outdoors/surf store) for regulations in your state and country. In Florida, you have to wear a Personal Floatation vest, or have it within arms length, and you have to carry a whistle.


Every state/country will have it's own laws. None of them requrie a license or anything like that to my knowlege.

Imago said:

cool so i need to start looking for a pair of used light weight paddles
i will get a new flotation vest though, i aint sharing skin with no body

which style would u recommend, trust me i am not being completely lazy, i am doing some research as well...

Can we seriously fucking stop with the kayak thread now?

SureThing said:

just for that, u aint getting a ride

eraclito said:

It depends on how much you're willing to pay and the weather where you are.
I live in Florida, and it gets really really hot and muggy here for a good part of the year.

Flotation vests can go for as little as 30 US dollars to as much as 150 US dollars.

Mine cost about 120 I think. It's primary floats are in the front as opposed to the back (Which would retain heat), and it allows me more manueverabilty than the normal vest (so I can take pictures).

Another thing you may want to purchse is a dry bag (you can get really nice ones for cheap). Dry bags allow you to place your belongings in them without getting wet (and trust me--no matter how careful you are, they WILL get wet).
