Good one Wookiee. You're away. May I suggest going out with some of the other SA boys initially, to pick up both safety and fishing info.

Cheers

Trevor

Oh no! You don't know what you've done! This is a relentless addiction! There should be a warning label on every kayak.... :lol: :lol:

Welcome and have fun. Look forward to hearing of your exploits.
Water lapping against the hull, warm gentle breeze, fish straining on the line... how much sick leave do I have?

Looks good mate, you'll have a ball with your beast. Be warned though, the cost of that kayak will be the least money you spend.... you will need....... etc etc etc... dont ask me how I know... :shock:

Congratulations!

Nice looking unit, looks like a comfy seat which is good because you're going to spend many hours in it.

Enjoy your first trip, you'll always remember it.

Don't ever underestimate just how much this little exercise is going to cost you...its easy to buy a kayak its another thing all together to stop buying...well lets say stuff for it.

Well done mate she looks the goods and great to see your excited about it! Make sure you let us know how it goes on its first wetting.

Nice kayak Wookiee, all kinds of cool places you could go on a nice yak like that. If you happen to be testing it out in West Lakes this Saturday morning I'll be out there in the north end trolling for salmon trout after sunrise in a yellow 3 metre sit-on-top so come and say hi if you see me :)
