Hello everyone  :smt006

Pleased to be a part of this fine community of folks who love all things kayak fishing.

My name is Mike, 34 years old living in San Francisco.  Recently acquired a hobie tandem island in June 2018.  I enjoy pier fishing for Halibut in SF, and it's time to venture out on the water.  Met a great community of pier fishermen, and now looking forward to becoming acquainted with NCKA community.

If anyone in SF bay is looking to fish and would like some company, holler anytime.  Also up for making some friends for kayak sailing if AI or TI owners want to meet up.

I haven't seen anything like that here since I've had my AI. So, no chance to show off my spinnaker mods...

@NowhereMan, show me your spinnaker mod ways!  Let's hit the bay and sail.  I'd like to see how you rigged the spinnaker - have seen threads online mentioning the stock install method has issues to the detriment of the main sheet.

Welcome! I have an Adventure Island, but I usually just use it in a kayak or mode. Hope to see you on the water.
