Here's my #1 Water Ride. My Inflatable Advanced Elements Convertable Yak. It sets up and breaks down in less than 10 minutes, only weighs 53 pounds, can hold 530 pounds, and can keep up with all but...
Well, I couldn't stand it. I bought the Rio, and it is fantastic, for what it is. It weighs only 25 pounds, and straps right to the back of my Specialized Crossroads bicycle. I bought the...
I've been considering getting a Sevylor Rio. They are on sale at Sportman's Warehouse for $199.99 right now. It would be nice and light to carry on my bicycle, or hiking in. I've also considered an...
Rowing is fine, if you like it. Everyone doesn't have to go through world-class rapids to fish. Unfortunately, where I live, I am stuck with it. There are few places to fish here that do not involve...
I called Pelican International and asked them how they rate boats. They said that what determines the ratings is the material and construction of the boat. Some of the polymers have flex in them,...
Seems a bit over-priced, but it is rated for Class V water, so it's probably OK. I'm not crazy about the "rack and pinion oar system". Double blade paddles are the way to go, especially in rivers.

That's probably it. I just go through whitewater to get to the other side, and I take the easiest way through. I don't play in the swells and whirlpools, or anything like that. For me, it's just a...
Yeah. The StraitEdge is super cool-looking. If didn't already have a Dyad (it was on sale at Sportsmans Warehouse for $299.00...I couldn't stop myself....), I'd be looking at one myself.
Cool...
You are going to love Advanced Elements. I like my Convertable better than all of my hard shells. I am thinking of buying an AirFusion to paddle between the Keys down in Florida. It's a little faster...
I have several hard-shell yaks as well (A Pelican Pursuit 100, and a Lifetime Daylite SOT). I wouldn't call inflatables all junk. Most are adequate for recreational use, and many (like mine) equal...
I paddled one briefly on the Ocoee River when they first came out. Dick's Sporting Goods had a clinic on the river and it was the featured boat. It's an OK inflatable, but way over-priced. It is...
The NRS is way over-priced for what it is. For around $600.00, you can get a Conquest Dyad, with a clear bottom for spotting fish and structure, two removable skegs, two main heavy gauge PVC bladders...
