 My first boat was a Necky Kyook, good beginner boat, stable, plastic, great
to bash around in the rock gardens.

Then I had to get a boat so newby paddling friends could join me. The Aqua
Terra Prism fit the bill.  14 ft SOT that anyone could paddle in moderate
conditions.

Since I spent much of my time playing in the surf zone, I got a Prijon
Twister so I could surf some waves. SOT whitewater boat about 25 in wide

It's funny how one boat leads you onto another.  After I was profecient at
rolling the Twister, my demands for higher performance won out and I started
surfing a Necky Rip.  A short, planing hull, whitewater playboat.  Lots of
fun in the ocean and the river.

But here I am again, yearning for yet another boat to acccompany the four in
the garage.  If anyone has a high performance Kevlar surf kayak for sale in
CA please e-mail me.  There is always room for one more!
