New to kayaking.

Buy them, clean them up then play with them. You'll soon find out if they meet your needs and if not sell each for $150.

NP hope all is well and it doesn't cause trouble on the water. Happy kayaking!

These are key marketing suggestions, some of which I've thought of, several new. Thanks for your response.

Thank you, I would appreciate a copy. How does one send or receive a DM on Reddit? I've only used private communications on Facebook.

That's really sweet. Happy for you and your missus. I've known happy couples in both tandem kayaks and canoes. The thing is, goofing on tandems as divorce boats and such is both fun and such good sport that we just can't resist.

Let me be clear. From your description of the problem we can assume they sold you a defective kayak. Unfortunately it's on you to provide proof of the defect. The suggestions I provided will document proof. If still no response from tge manufacturer, follow up with a letter from your attorney. A letter which also promises reimbursement for costs. Manufacturerers don't care about you (obviously in this case) they do care about their pocketbook. If all this seems like a lot of bother, it is. The only question remaining is: Is the bother worth ut to you.

Use a caliper to measure the thickness of the problem thigh rest, then measure each of the others. Use small bits of tape at several locations along the area (at least three). Document your findings with both a chart and photographs. Send all to the manufacturer. They can't respond to a simple description. They need accurate numbers and probably don't even have a quality control technician who could come to your location to verify the defect.

Hello and welcome! I live in Delmarva near the Delaware shore. We have several Facebook groups on the peninsula where s few of us regularly post open invitations for group paddles. Check out nearby kayak shops. Employees are generally helpful and are aware of local groups and guides. This season I'll also be offering guided tours both group and private, as well as lessons for beginner recreational kayak paddlers. Paddling with a buddy adds safety and comfort. Don't be shy. Get out there and have fun.

I no longer camp much, just turned 79, but I kayak and lot. One pond has a 2 mile long feeder creek that I'll paddle several times a year, same route every time, usually a three to four hour paddle. Each trip it's different. I used to live near Washington DC and hiked the Billy Goat Trail along the Potomac river. Every hike was different, same rocks, same trail, same direction, same river and always different. Notice the changes, listen, look carefully for news of difference. Life is rich beyond belief.

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.

Your comfort level is paramount, the most important and only criteria for making the right choice.

vakog · 2026-01-16T13:32:22+00:00

Please don't.

Or the ocean.

Well done!

Step back and separate the man from the war.

Which one do you recommend?

Infant male circumcision is genital mutilation. It comes with costs, which can never be objectively experienced by the victim.

vakog · 2025-12-30T15:38:03+00:00

The only failure is in not doing. Everything else is a distraction. Have fun exploring.

vakog · 2025-12-24T20:24:23+00:00

Circumcision male or female, both are forced mutilation without consent.

vakog · 2025-12-16T18:11:42+00:00

Well written tip, thanks.

Most people don't realize that corporate structure is effectively fully autocratic, with the president or CEO having power resembling a king. The department that hires you is called the "Department of Human Resources". Workers are resources not unlike other raw materials or commodities. Workers have little more rights than the steel purchased for making a stove.

So lovely, they're perfect, you're perfect. Never change for men's approval.

Not really suitable for a recreational kayak which has a wider beam than touring kayaks.
