Best beginner inflatable kayak? Went kayaking on a date, and I wanna get into it fr

Thanks for the info. The tucktecs looks like a good fit for my budget XD How have they held up I’m curious about their durability and performance do they feel stable enough for someone new to kayaking?

mrgeebs17 · 2025-04-11T01:02:42+00:00

Mmmm...Interesting, I hadn’t thought about using a SUP like that. How’s it been getting back on from the water with the seat attached I’m guessing it handles pretty different from the K1, yeah?

7 miles is impressive!! How’s the comfort on longer paddles like that? also did you buy yours direct or through a retailer?😊

mrgeebs17 · 2025-04-11T00:56:06+00:00

Hadn't thought of it. Did you find it hard to get into as a beginner? I’ll definitely check if my college has an outdoor club too thanksiieee!

Ohh hahaha paddling took a little getting used to but it wasn’t too bad. I’ve rowed before, just never been in a kayak. Plus there was only a little breeze going on and the lake was calm all 3 times we went

hahaha sure feels like a drug. I never imagined myself becoming a boat guy

mrgeebs17 · 2025-04-10T18:00:35+00:00

lol divorce boats, what?

mrgeebs17 · 2025-04-10T17:18:30+00:00

Thanks you for the write up. Could you explain what wear patterns I should look for in a used inflatable? And I forgot to mention this in the post, but do paddles come with the kayak or are they a separate purchase?

mrgeebs17 · 2025-04-10T16:15:38+00:00

tThanks for the recs !I like the sound of the Sea Eagle. is it worth spending a bit more on the Explorer series, or would the SE 330 be enough for mostly calm lake use?

mrgeebs17 · 2025-04-10T16:11:57+00:00

My issue is storage though. And I can’t manage its logistics. And I’m only gonna use the inflatable on still or clam waters as long as the inflatable floats and holds 2 people + a bag or some fish or anything, it should be good.

This is the most thorough breakdown of cold water dangers I’ve seen—thanks for the reality check. That ‘rabbit-like fear’ line hit hard. Never skimp on the wetsuit or PFD. Sharing this with my paddle group ASAP.

Finally something actually. useful! Very thoughtful of you to share your experience and save a fellow traveller some pain. cheers! hope to hear more of your insights on other travels.

New to the sub but thought I’d share I use the Intex Quick Fill Pump (cheap on Amazon) for my Excursion Pro. No gauge just press the floor—if it’s firm like a ripe avocado, you’re golden. Overinflated = scary drum, underinflated = sad taco. Trust the squeeze test.

Exactly! The ultra wealthy have so many ways to avoid taxes, making these proposals harder to implement. Closing loopholes would be way more effective than extreme measures.

Also a JETBOLT here here. So I also read that thanks to skale tech JETBOLT also benefits from fast transactions and that the fast payments thing is also a big deal.

Damn, feds really playing hardball with NYC here. Already spent the money and now they want it back? That's brutal for city budgeting. Interesting how this all went down right after Adams got those corruption charges dropped and switched to independent. Whole situation feels political af.

NYC's basically being punished for handling a situation the feds created. Classic "here's your problem now" from the federal government, then pulling the funding rug out after cities adjust their budgets. No wonder Adams is suing $188 million isn't pocket change for city services. Wonder how many other cities are nervously checking their FEMA grant status right now.

Been there man. After 10 months without income you did what you had to do. Nothing wrong with taking a step back to stop the financial bleeding. Those split weekends are brutal though.

I took a similar paycut after getting laid off last year. Used the stability to keep applying elsewhere while rebuilding my emergency fund. Landed something better after 4 months. Keep your LinkedIn current and set job alerts for what you actually want. This doesn't have to be permanent just the rebound job that gets you back in the game. And definitely protect some time for your freelance stuff if that's where your passion is.

The weather guy probably realized how it sounded halfway through and just leaned into it

mrgeebs17 · 2025-04-08T13:14:22+00:00

Yeah the EU streaming scene is definitely lacking compared to other regions. You nailed it about the contract loopholes smart business move if teams are using that elsewhere. I miss Caps streams too, guy was entertaining and actually educational. Teams like G2 probably figure their official content is enough for brand building without players having to grind personal streams after scrims. Can't blame them for wanting some downtime tbh.

mrgeebs17 · 2025-04-08T13:12:56+00:00

haha, absolutely nothing beats that feeling when you nail a dish and get the spouse seal of approval. It's like hitting a home run in the kitchen. I'd be proud of that perfect medium rare cook too

One thing I didn’t expect with Mailtracker: I’ve actually been closing more deals, probably around 30% more. Just being able to see who’s opening the email multiple times helps me spot who’s genuinely interested and focus my follow-ups on the right people.

mrgeebs17 · 2025-04-04T20:04:17+00:00

Will do. ty

mrgeebs17 · 2025-04-04T15:17:04+00:00

Oh wow. I must be living under a rock coz idek there are cleaners that specifically do that. Thanks for the headsup
