Advice for buying a kayak

Congrats!

But it would be more masculine without the baby seat.

No.  It would be more masculine if it were a Jeep!!

Gotta get my boy out there too and can't put him up top with the kayak just yet.

Just installed the Malone kayak hauler.  Anyone else use these? 

Um, is that thing going to clear the door?

Of course. 

It's not like I'm just some hot, Asian chick attempting to install a bike chain.

Of course. 

yes, but will it clear the door with the kayak mounted?

I've already removed the garage door opener from the vehicle to prevent that hazard.

I didn't know Wonder Woman had a kayak too.

Speaking of..where is that sexy lil beast?!  




Received REI email..Ride 115 arrives in Austin tomorrow.  Perfect timing for Memorial Day weekend!!  

Also..www.backcountry.com package arrived today containing 2 NRS lifejackets  

The "CVest" in Blue/black and the "Clearwater" in grey/black.  I was just going to keep the one I liked the most (which is the CVest) but I'm going to keep the grey to as an homage to the ole' titanium 620.  RIP  

If anyone is in the market for a highback PFD, these things are pretty damn comfy!!  Not as much at the  Kokatat fishing vest/PFD (they add some extra padding in the lower back mesh area) but they're close to it!

Cool!  I know the one.  How's that going?

Let me know if you want to get out there on the water.  It was packed this weekend.  No Southern Cal but it has a lot views.
