 Proud to pronounce myself as the newest pro staff member for Santa Cruz kayaks! I had the maiden voyage on the yak this Sunday at the kayak connection tournament and man was it was it an amazing kayak . It paddled like a 14ft and turned like a 13ft and glides perfectly. I was hopping for some rougher seas to test the kayak in some rough water but, it is a very stable kayak and I was able to stand up on the kayak with ease and no worries! I want to thank Jim Martin for such an amazing kayak. :smt003

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.”
