Tips for young kids on the kayak

So my good friend's son really wants to go crabbing out on our kayak but he is 10 and pretty much a featherweight. I took him crabbing from the pier in Tomales for rock crab months ago and he asks me about dungeness weekly now. I really want to take him out and keep his interest in fishing and the outdoors up but I do not want to send him on a wild ride the first time out. He is a good swimmer but not a lot of kayak experience. Anyone have a recommendation of a spot we could crab that may be a bit calmer. I was really nice in Doran this weekend but I am still a bit gun shy as the sell and wind picked up a few times while we were out. May have to just take him on a PB but figured I would ask.

Best,
Phil

If you have a double seater that would be best...i took my buddy out for the first time outa hmb on a double and he doesnt know how to swim we stayed by the getty but he got used to the swells and everything fast and now hes looking into buying yak for himself

Yeah we have a tandem. Tarpon 130T. It's a pretty stable and comfortable ride. Did you have any luck crabbing in HMB where you hung out?

yes we got around 8 rock crab in about an 2hrs i believe if want dungies justgo oiff the rockwall from rock #44 about 70 yards and drop and youl'll get both rock and dungies.....let me know if you want to hook up i would be glad to go out anytime
