Make sure everything is leashed or tied down and you wear your PFD. Sooner of later you will roll. Everyone on this site is really helpful and youll find plenty of great advice.

You Revo is a great yak. It's not as stable as the big Outbacks or Pro Anglers but it's faster. My friend just got one and he's cruising along while I'm paddling for my life. He used to paddle a Malibu Stealth which is super roomy and stable but is a slow barge.
I'm working on getting leashes. Still looking for a PFD. Trying to decide on a vest or the slimmer ones with C02. I tested out both the Outback and the Revo at FH, and decided to go with the Revo since it would be more maneuverable. Maybe not as stable, but I have decent balance, and when that fails, am willing to take a spill or two into the drink.

Great. Me too. We're both IE denizens. We'll have to meet up sometime. My problem is very limited fishing time and that I'm really into open water fishing which adds to the time it takes to get to the launch site. I should try Perris but I'm too addicted to open ocean.

I'm in Yucaipa, it's a trip to do any salt water fishing but worth the effort. I don't have anything as fancy as you but I'm making do. I'm just a year into kayak fishing but I've been fishing all my life and I'm 66, that's a lot of life.

I'm in if you want to get something going. I'm still doing my homework on some stuff but hopefully will be ready to go soon. Depending on where in Yucaipa you are, i'm about 15 -20 mins from you.
