Waders VS Neoprene Pants - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

You were about 5 of 5 wrong in your "assumptions" since I'm guessing you don't own one.

It can surf, not as well as other kayaks but I've never flipped in surf.

Apparently it fills with water when it flips? Not sure how since all the hatches are the same as other boats if not better? Not sure where you're getting that info.

Can't remount? I've practiced with no problems at all. Not sure where that one comes from either.

Can't move it? Wrong again. Never had anyone help me load or wheel my kayak to the beach. No problem at all. Just takes practice

Drive breaking? If you take care of your stuff and are ready with spare parts should be no problem. I'm not saying I want to paddle it, but I haven't really had to yet.

Hit the nail on the head when you said lounge seat though.

As far as saying it's not ocean worthy? Have you ever been on one in the ocean, because for me personally, the most stable kayak I have owned.

You're right I don't own one as I would never spend that kind of money on a kayak, especially a turd like that.

I'm mostly referring the recent videos and testimonies in which one of our own comrades nearly died for one simple reason, a poor design.

But i guess if you have $4000 to spend on a kayak, losing a couple grand in gear at the launch doesn't seem that bad.
