Hello everyone,
just got my Hobie compass this summer, and found out about this group.  It's spend most of it's life in the garage. Unfortunately when I feel like kayaking, I just sit in it and pretend.  Hoping to get out there .  Safety first!; then trying to get it ready for crab season!

If you see an Asian guy out there that doesn't really know what he is doing and not catching much fish, it's probably me.

I'm still a newbie but looking forward to learning from you guys

Peter

..... when I feel like kayaking, I just sit in it and pretend.....

Now that's the safest way to do it!  :smt002 

Sounds like you already checked out the safety first section, but in case you haven't, it covers a lot of the essentials.

Welome!

Hey Peter, welcome to NCKA! Take it easy by starting out in the lakes and you will get the hang of it in no time.
