Thanks for helping up spread the word. It’s been a hell of a ride. Thanks everyone from NCKA for all the support and friendship over the years. I hope this means I’m more free to join you on adventures as oppose to being behind a counter.
 

Nothing amazing about it.  The bass tournaments dived into kayak bass fishing in a big way and all the newer kayaks are being designed for that market.

Would LOVE to see someone design an off shore pedal yak to compete with a Hobie. Right now they have the market cornered. Maybe a Kraken FD or a Trident PDL??

Me and some of the guys from the shop had fun comparing pedal drives. We had a Hobie PA 14, Jackson Coosa FD, and the Native Titan 12 and we took them all to our demo facility at Lodi Lake for a test. Watch out video here.

I’m going to try and be there with my Coosa

Awesome I was hoping someone would have a Jackson. Pretty much have everything covered except a Oldtown Predator PDL. .

OH MAN... Awesome video Dan!

I appreciate that man. I look forward to seeing the day from your perspective as well.

Man I posted in a couple places before I saw this, but here is the Vlog I put together for the Headwaters Youtube Page. Ethan and I had a blast crabbing for his first time. He also got a little Uke lesson.

Ethan and I had a blast participating in the 7th annual NCKA Crabfest at Doran Beach. I always make it a point to bring the family over and camp out for the weekend and enjoy some quality time on the beach. To me Crabfest represents what the kayak fishing community is all about. An awesome family friendly atmosphere, great food, and the spirit of giving back to those in need. The Crabbing is just the excuse for us to come together.

This was Ethans first time crabbing with me so we brought out the new Feelfree Kayaks Lure 2 equipped with the Overdrive pedal system. This made it easy to pedal to our spot and provided huge stability when dropping and pulling pots. Even in swell I felt like I could move around the boat and help Ethan pull pots. I'm very excited to have this boat in our family quiver.

As always huge thanks to Victor Vwool, and Narisa for putting on such an incredible event.

Here is the video we made of our day for the Headwaters Youtube Page. Check out my Youtube video of the day. 

Sorry I've been living under a rock lately, but I do look forward to getting out to Crabfest with my kids this year and enjoying some quality time with the NCKA family. I'll be bringing a few of these giant checks with me.
