Hey Guys,
Thanks for having me. I'm new and looking to gain kayak angling  knowledge. I have never kayak'd before and want to learn things the right way.
I plan on starting my kayak purchase January-February time frame. I do plan on taking safety courses FYI.
Thanks!

Welcome to the community, Chip.   :smt001

I take people out up in Humboldt and focus on orientation to safety, gear, forecasts, fishing, catching and working on achieving maximum joy. 

Once covid restrictions allow, I look forward to a full year of ocean and inland water adventures in 2021.  Hope to meet you.

Heya, welcome to NCKA. Where are you based out of? I plan on making my purchase around the same time and am on the SF Peninsula and am pretty much in the same boat with experience (I've done white water, canoeing and the likes however).
