Hi Everyone

I'm in the market to buy a kayak, looking for something in good shape. I just moved to Sea Ranch

I'm 6' 4'' 240 pounds so I need something for a larger man.

Thanks in advance

You should go here:

http://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php?topic=54004.0

Or if you can't make it there, try and demo as many yaks as you can to find one that works best for YOU....an event like this would be a good idea to demo a bunch of different yaks:

Good luck!

We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.

People aren’t supposed to look back. I’m certainly not going to do it anymore.”
