Wish someone would post some of you in the RPM. They can be cramped but
nothing like the kayaks built for normal-sized people!!! I had a Dagger
something-or-other that made me feel like I was a ballerina standing on her
tippy-toes all day. Seriously painful after a couple of hours. Fast boat
down-river though. LOL

That looks like a lot of fun in small surf... frankly just the sound of
heavy surf scares me. Plus the fact that when you're looking at the beach
you can't tell  how big those suckers are. I may just stick with Moses Lake
rock gardening where you wait for a powerboat to go by. :D

Thanks for the story and pics. :)
