ED, you look way too relaxed out there.

We need to see some intensity, anger and the go kick some as% look. You look like you are about to be served a cup of tea or something.

Nice photos. Thanks for the post.

I was too tired for intensity. I'm used to bass, not big ass bat rays that sit on the bottom.

Yani, the meet up group is another way for kayakers to meet and plan get togethers to fish. Mad Frog Gear is sponsoring the group now and hopefully will get it more active.

Looks like fun! Thanks for sharing. Oh, what kind of yak is that, looks sweet!

It's a Native Watercraft Manta Ray 14. It paddles well, tons of deck space (though small hatches for inside) and the most comfortable yak I've ever had. Almost too stable though, it could use a little less width to make it faster. I've got it pretty bare too. 2 flush mounts and my FF is on a Mad Frog Gear TDA. Over all a great set up.
