Intro

Hey, Edgar here. New to Kayaking and I love the cool breeze of the ocean. I have a true love of the ocean and love to be near the sandy beaches and take my German Shepard along camping. Been mostly a hiker all my life but have a passion for the sea. Purchased a new ocean kayak in February and have been out with it about 8 times. Hoping to get a lot of use out of it!

Sounds like you're well on your way to the Madness.     Welcome.
