I love the water. Anytime I have the chance, I'll be close to the coast.

This channel is about spending time on the water either fishing or kayaking.

Keep our oceans clean!

    I would have bought the Trak 2, but my butt didn't fit on the seat. I have been sitting on the plastic left and right of the seat. Eventually I have bought the Pakayak Bluefin 142. I have no problems paddling long distances and my butt fits on the seat. Always test a kayak before you buy it. And don't buy it if it doesn't fit. For example I would not have bought the first Pakayak, the Bluefin 14, as the cockpit has not supported persons taller than 1,7 m.

    How was the Akiak 220cm length for you and the Pakayak? Did you ever wish you had gone with the the longer (230cm) paddle?

  • @Fishaholicboy
    @Fishaholicboy2 күн бұрын

    I actually got the 230cm Kalleq and it’s a good length for long distance. But I realised I prefer the shorter paddles as it’s more agile and I can react quicker for braces, etc. it’s also personal preference. The 220cm is an all rounder and don’t think you can go wrong with it. Hope it helps!

    Insta360 isn't water proof. How do you avoid it getting wet or if the suction cup fails and it goes for a swim? Is it decently water resistant?

  • @Fishaholicboy
    @Fishaholicboy2 күн бұрын

    In this video I’m using the insta360 x2 and it can go underwater up to 10m.. I didn’t use anything special with it and was able to capture videos underwater too. You can get an underwater case for precautions. For the suction cup, I just tie it to the deck lines. Fortunately I haven’t had the suction cup come off yet!

    Reed makes some of the best kayaks and this is a beautiful looking boat. But I have a question you have mentioned lots of time in your videos that you don't have much space in your home that's why you buy kayaks that fold or stack like the PakAyaK because they're easy to store. Well I don't think this will be easy to store do you. Looking forward to your next video though to see it on the water and get a really good look at her but first impressions it's a nice looking boat.
