Necessary gear

Picking up my first kayak this weekend from yak hopper, super stoked! Been talking with a couple guys on what they feel the necessary/minimal gear I need to have on it. It will be primarily a dive platform for me, spearing and abs, but as I read more and more I think I may have to come to one of these fishing events !!!

 

Matt, I've already told you what I bring and when...here is a good thread that mirrors some of the stuff we have already discussed.

Obviously as a diver we go out prepared for immersion so the list isn't an exact match, but many of the concepts and safety gear apply to anyone out on a kayak in the ocean.

Sincerely,

ps...Gimme Shelter and Albion are two stellar events where you can dive and fish (or dive and dive) and meet a ton of cool people and have a great time. 

Right on bro, thanks
