As many of you know my son Ethan has been my paddling buddy most of the season. He has helped me compete at two tournaments this year. He is getting bigger and wanting to paddle by himself more and more, so one of the manufactures I do business with built him this custom fiberglass kids kayak. He paddles till he gets board and then I tow him around. Hopefully he will let me put some rod holders in it someday.

Basically I'm just a proud papa wanting to brag a little. Sterlings Sea Kayaks is the manufacture who built the kayak.

I've seen that yak at the shop. It's so cool looking .
How awesome that a manufacture took time to do this for your family. Dan,It looks like Ethan has a blast paddling his own yak. I know my daughter can't wait to go fishing out of her new yak.

Post up a pic of her in her new Yak when you get a chance. Glad her little boat is working out.

Right on Dan, like I said before he's always got another paddling partner. We can't hold these little guys back, they are the next generation.

Here's some of my little guy...well not so little anymore!

FOTY frontrunner right there!

I wish I could get my kids in yaks.  They're all about the SUPs.  No matter,...out on the water together, it's all good.
