Title: Any SoCal kayakers?
Post by: IZ on May 22, 2013, 05:33:44 PM
Living in the area now. Have a sit-on-top and would like to go around back bay and also hit some surf..if at all possible with a Wilderness Ride 115?  I've only used it on the lakes in TX. Looking for gear recommendations. Do I need a waterproof jacket a wet suit..a full or half?  I'd like to take advantage of the REI sale going on now so if you all have any ideas, let me know.

How are you liking the 115?  Do you fish out of it?

Cool. Hit me up if you need referrals for whatever locally.

Except kayaks. And please don't be the kook that takes the kayak into the surf.  [laugh]

Will do.  Checked out the local Newport shop.  Seeing a ton of Ducs on roads! Of course, it's when I DON'T have a Duc in the garage.   [thumbsdown]

Paddle in the surf? Not on purpose.

I love it but my paddling experience has just been 1 year.  Not fishing out of it yet.
