Capitola Sunday - PFD works!

Maybe you could return it. How long have you owned it? That seems like a manufacture defect, especially if you've had it less than a year or so.

stop visiting Balco, skip the steroids and you should be good

yeah, serious huh, by the looks of it you think the hulk was using it.

well heres the deal, ive only used it for 3 trips.... before that i was told it only had a month of use on it, MBK screwed up and sold me a orange kayak, which i wanted, but when I came to pick it up it was yellow, so they threw in a free paddle, after i asked.... Sooooooo it is what it is...

When i took allens class a month or two ago, when i was really a noob, i got spoiled with some crazy carbon fiber NICE paddle, one piece. At the time i just didnt know the difference, it was alll the same to me... Then I got the freebi paddle, and I immediately noticed the difference..... sure wish  I could afford the carbon fiber like allen lent me, NICE!!

The stub where it connects at the middle is a little short in my opinion. I have a pretty big reach, i held the paddle pretty far out on the edges.... it just didnt hold up, ity was in nice shape when i got it??

I can repair your paddle do not remove blades!!!! It will be around five to six inches shorter but it beats buying A new one.. Problem is I dont know when im going to SC....Andy

If you post the repair technique here then maybe he can fix it himself.  Will it still be 2 pieces (detachable) or just a single piece paddle after repaired?

Porky:

I can lend you a paddle in the meantime.....

I tried calling you vhf on sunday no response.  I was up by SC wharf.

Allen,

I just might need to take you up on that! Im gonna meet with Eric B to try and buy one of his old ones at a great price.... But if we cant meet up I may need to borrow one for friday, got work off!

So yeah, the radio thing, man.... I think, as i was told that my radio is crap.... thing works here and there, spotty, guess i have to buy a new one too, SUX... something smaller too, the thing is giant, like one of those old cell phones, im surprised it didnt come with a giant backpack, like one of those military communication guys!! errrrrr..... The only thing I heard all day was coast guard stuff... I had it on the mode where it goes form ch16/69, scan mode..

I may need to borrow one for friday, got work off!

Which one your planning to hit on Friday? Hey our fishing together is long overdue, I am off too   , I am looking at the weather seems like its finally getting nicer a bit, would you be up for HMB, San Gregorio or Pescadero? Just wondering and sorry to hear about the broken paddle,

Just give me a call I am pretty available this week.

Allen

Will do Allen. Thanks.

Darious i will have to let you know. Id love to fish with ya, im just not sure i can commit going thay far north as i have stuff to do later in the day, might be forced to stay in town or maybe monterey, sorta far for you as well. For HMB ill let ya know in a day or so. Have to watch the weather too. If you decide to go south lemme know. 

Hey porky, you've been doing a lot of fishing lately. Sorry about you broken
paddle dude. I hope you can get it fixed so you can have a back up inside the
yak. Anyhow, perhaps it's time to travel up north a little bit for some rockfish
action like BH or HMB. Just a thought bro.

Jedmo

Yeah, I had a offer of both places for friday... Im trying to work something out so i can go...

I know when i fished from the power boat, i always got fish up north, does the same still hold true for BH or HMB?

Just not sure Im ready for that bean launch... dont want to loose any gear... bur well see, hows the weather looking for those areas, maybe one of the experienced guys can chime in on this

Hello porky. I have never done BH myself. To be honest, BH is the last
place I want to kayak fish just because of the launch and landing but there has
been some awesome report each time people went. I wish there was a newbie
launch around the area I can go so I can participate on the next hookup. Good
luck next time bro.
