I've been interested in the Jackson Coosa FD for awhile.
Stopped by the shop and met Kyle Anderson from the Lake Tahoe Kayak Rentals.
He has a large variety of kayaks to choose from to rent or buy.
We looked over the Coosa and made an appointment for a demo.
I told him I'd needed  to rent 2 kayaks also for a couple of friends that had never kayaked before that was vacationing in Tahoe. He supplied pfd and paddles for them and gave me a great NCKA discount.

I told him this demo wasn't going to just be a peddle around but I wanted to capsize the yak to see how difficult a self rescue would be,
With a 35" wide boat. He got excited about that because he also was interested in this.
Self rescue successful 4 times. I stood up and had a couple of boat wakes send me into the water and tested some leaning turns to the limits. Under normal conditions I believe you would have to get a broad side cap from a 10' or greater swell in order to capsize this Kayak. Very stable.

What a great kayak it not only peddled over 5 mph, but tracked very well paddling it. Had some grass get into the prop and was easily removed.
The best part of the day was having Kyle show up 15 mins early greet me with a cold Redbull a hand shake with the biggest smile, and 130% effort to make sure we had all that we needed.
I look forward to not only doing business with the
Lake Tahoe kayak Rentals and Sales, but look forward to fishing and having a great relationship when it comes to this sport.
A Big shout out to Kyle and Sam for being so good to me and my friends.
I  encourage anyone visiting South Lake Tahoe to stop by and say Hi!!!
