Welcome indeed - this place has been a wealth of knowledge and support - have made so many great friends here. You'll love it... bravo NCKA!!

Welcome to the madness Juan/John! This is an amazing group of people, always there to share knowledge and good times. Hope to see you on the water soon or at one of the events

Welcome to NCKA John 

Thank you sir!

Come down Santa Cruz way & try one out at Kayak Connection in the Santa Cruz Harbor!

Is that the one located at the warf? Do you guys have fishing kayaks? Do you guys do deals for fishing or crabbing?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome, Juan.  We're pretty advanced and calls Juan's Juan here!     If you jaunt us to.   

Seriously though, you found the right place, and it sounds like you're psyched to get a great start in the sport. 

If you're coming to Humboldt I can get you on a number of different boats to try out.  Maybe we'll meet at Shelter Cove for the tournament in May.   

Ha!!!!!!!  Juan jokes! They never get old! Please share them, if you have Juan 

Sounds like a lot of poeple that love the sport. I have heard about you guys before I was searching for a kayak...seen a few videos on youtube as well.

That's a ways up there. Do not think ill any time soon to be able to make that trip, but thanks for the offer. If I have all my gear! I will surely try to make it out there!

I don't work for them ... just know their staff & owner.  I bought 3 of my kayaks from them over the years.  They are located on the East side of the Harbor, not on the wharf.  They sell & rent all sorts of kayaks & paddleboards.  Good supporters of our group too!

Gotcha! Thanks for the info! Much appreciated! I will definately stop by and give them a look and most likely a test run.

Thanks all!

I day dream of this a lot already lol I bet ill do more of it once I get out there!

Welcome to da club!
I like Kayak Connection and that's a good suggestion. Another place to test-paddle yaks is MBK (Monterey Bay Kayaks). You can try multiple brands/models in the same day and some are even setup for fishing w/rodholders & stuff. http://www.montereybaykayaks.com/

Glad you joined us, the invite from lolitaeric is legit he runs the large and well loved Gimmie Shelter Tournament make going one of your goals. After we meet on the water how about some basketball? Strictly Juan-on-Juan.

Thank you sir! I checked out their website and I noticed that they have two locations. Would you recommend one more than the other? It seems like there is quite a few yak owners at Monterey. Either that or thats the place to go!?
