Malibu Mini X question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Kanco · 05-21-2008, 05:42 PM

I am considering purchasing a Malibu Mini X kayak.

Can anyone tell me a little bit about the pros and cons of getting a small kayak like this?

I like the size because I can easily mount the kayak on top of my hardtop and use when I visit catalina.

How stable is it?

Thanks

Come by and try one out don't think you will be disappointed in the stability but would want to try it to see if the short center-line of the 9'3" kayak suits you. A short kayak like the mini x is not going to track as well with a kayak with a longer center-line. Can't beat the weight of the kayak though.

I am not too concern about it tracking too well. I plan on using this kayak inside the harbor and off my boat. I want to mount it on the hartop of my boat so that I can paddle around the kelp when I go to the local islands.

If I want to try it out, where would I go? Where is your store?

address and business hours please.
