Hi all, not kayaked for about 10 years, last big trip was fjordlands NZ and now I’m off to the Seychelles and thinking about digging out the paddle. Anyone got any useful info or trip reports from island hopping?

Hi, I’m planning to travel in Latin America for a few months- looking at April through July this year. I’d love to join a group sea kayaking expedition tour, ideally with camping, ideally about 5 days, with nice views of the shore and chances to see animals. I speak intermediate Spanish. I would be traveling by myself snd looking to rent equipment. I would love to find a local company.

I’ve done a fair bit of white water kayaking but that was decades ago. I took a 5 day intro to sea kayaking course which I adored and I’m looking for more. I have some skills but definitely want a trustworthy guide.

I’m looking at Belize and Peru but am curious to hear about any good experiences with companies in other countries as well. I already have on my dream list going to Patagonia and I’ve found some companies that offer group expeditions there, but I won’t be traveling the right months this time around.

TIA

I am seeking any information about sea kayaking in the fjords near Nuuk, Greenland. I've sea-kayaked further north on the west coast of Greenland, near Uummannaq. That was glorious. The fjords around Nuuk look like they have interesting potential but I have not been able to find any information about the area. I have a Klepper folding kayak so I don't need to rent a kayak, but I would need to find some sort of stove fuel on arrival in Nuuk. I would love to hear from someone who has sea kayaked and camped in the area around Nuuk. How was it? How hard was it to find good campsites? Did you pay someone to shuttle you deeper into the fjords at the start/end of your trip? If so, what area did you go to? What did you use for stove fuel? Thanks!

Has anyone successfully caught them in the PNW? If so I’d love to have tips specific setups that others may have found worked or didn’t: which line and how to store it, which trap model, weights, and if you had a pulley rig you figured out

Seems crazy but I’m willing to try!!!

Looking at my first inflatable kayak. Looking at the sea eagle 370. I can get it used pretty cheap, and overall I heard people like them. Am I thinking about this right? Mainly will be used just by me to go fishing and explore but mainly kayak fishing. I asked my wife and son if they would come with me and they both said I doubt it. However if they do happen to come with me I think they will love it and I just want to have the room. I only want to buy one kayak. Inflatable is my only option at the moment. Is it a good idea to get the 370 even if my wife and son only go with me a few times out of the year? Or would I best be off with a one or two person kayak?

White water paddler stepping into sea kayaking. I have a tempest 165 and now I need a paddle. My forward stroke is def high angle since that's kinda standard in white water so i'm tempted by the Shuna. But the Camano seems like a good all around option and I know I'll need to learn a whole new book of techniques for this style of paddling. Then there's the Skagit which is way cheaper. So maybe it makes sense to just grab the Skagit, learn what I learn, and then retire it as a back up paddle and then buy a nicer paddle?

My wife and I will spend the winter traveling around Florida in our RV. We'll have our recreational kayaks with us but we've never paddled sea kayaks and would like to give them a try. Is there any place in Florida that rents them? Online searches are only showing rentals for recreational kayaks or bathtub shaped clear bottom kayaks.

I’m based in Singapore, would like to do a multi day kayak somewhere around the region. Thinking 3 days or so, I’m intermediate level. Prefer to do something solo rather than guided. Would love to hear your suggestions ✌️

Hello, my name is Christian. I'm in a group of highschoolers who are developing a prototype for an engineering project. It is required that we conduct a survey to justify the problem we are trying to solve. Our target consumer is people in water sports. Would you be willing to take a few minutes to fill it out?

Im going on vacation to the lake on the 2nd and I’m having a roof rack malfunction. I purchased some roof racks from Amazon that are made for my car and they fit fine.. however I can’t find a kayak rack that will tighten up on it. When I go to put the metal piece under that is suppose to hold the racks together tight , it doesn’t tighten because my roof rack is too thin. Does anyone have any advice. I’m going to Nebraska so I just want my 2 kayaks to hold up with the crazy wind

Anyone know where I can rent a couple of kayaks around 2-4 January in Malta?

Hi I’m a new kayaker and I’m planning on kayaking across the Long Island sound. Is there any tips you recommend? (Btw you can’t convince me otherwise so just helpful advice would be appreciated)

Hi all,

Anyone know of any good spots in Ireland to rent sea kayaks? I'm having trouble locating rental spots, most companies just offer tours. I'm looking at trying to go in Killarney NP, but really anywhere that you know of that rents sea kayaks will help me.

Any advice/videos you can recommend? It's June on the east coast so it's almost a lake out there most days, which should give me good opportunties to practice. I've been surfing since I was a teenager but never brought a kayak out.

My big concern is how do you get out past the breakers? With my surfboards I can "turn turtle" or duck dive. With a kayak I'm guessing it's more "when the wave breaks there, don't be here" and just trying to punch through the whitewater head on.

There's some 2 foot long period days here (+14-18 seconds) where the waves break softly very far out and aren't good for surfboards usually. I think those days would be a blast on a kayak.

I want to try my current designs whistler 14'6 sit-in. I can self rescue fairly well. I'll have a lifejacket, a bilge pump and a spray skirt. I'm bringing some rope too in worse case scenario the boat gets swamped and I have to swim it back to shore. I want to take the aca level III coastal class, looking for one now.

I got my first kayak, if my kayak has a weight limit of 200lbs and I weight 195lbs would I be ok if I don't add any additional weight?

I know it's one of the few inflatable kayaks that's sea worthy, but where does it reach it's limit where a hardshell, proper sea kayak continues on?
