A longer kayak will always track better, as in easier to maintain a straight line, so more of each stroke goes into propelling you straight ahead.
I have (2) Ocean Kayaks: 11' Scrambler & 9' Frenzy....the 9' is definitely more stable from a tipping perspective, but requires effort to keep up with the other kayak. At some point, wifey & I will replace the 9 with another 11-13 footer.

I'm almost jealous.
But it's still you, so.....no. Enjoy Q: what's the difference between Trident & Prowler lineup? |

What is OT's view on tandem kayaks? My gf and I had kayaks a couple years back and sold them when we moved. I have been thinking of picking up one tandem kayak so we can get back out on the water.

The nickname for a tandem kayak is "divorce canoe."
Does that answer your question? |

After a quick google search, yes. I was thinking of the tandem since my girlfriend is very petite, I was just going to do most of the paddling. I guess it's not such a good idea. Thanks for the heads up

After paddling back in on the Chesapeake in 1ft chop in my Ocean Kayak, I fell in love with SOTs. I decided to put my two SINKs up for sale on Craigslist, and ended up selling them within an hour for $100 more than my price listed (people were competing for them), and $250 more than what I bought them in October!
I'm ordering another Ocean Kayak today, they're so much better than sitting in a hot plastic tub all day. Plus, I have so much space for gear, and I can stand up (it's going to take practice): |

I know OT doesnt Subaru but do you ladies have any recommendations for a roof rack for a 2006 WRX? I want to purchase a kayak in the near future and it would be cool to have the bike kit also for my mnt bike.

I'd love to, but I only have one of those cheap foam block roof carriers. I wouldn't feel comfortable driving on anything other than local roads with it on the car. Once we get a real roofrack we'll definitely go for a paddle together.

Well, except the these rarely flip, and if they do, it's no big deal. I can stand, jump off, etc. and simply climb back on.
I used Thule on mine, and it carried over to my next car. |

I'd feel more comfortable if it didn't deform the steel in the roof of my 2.5i.

I have never owned a proper kayak rack. I wrap thick foam around the roof rack crossbars, and use the various tie-down points up & down the kayaks. Driven 10 hours on the Interstate with (2) on the roof, no issues.

If I had crossbars I wouldn't care, but my car doesn't even have that.

I'm telling you, Jim, I did it for years without permanently denting my cars' roofs. Get yourself a 3rd set of pads (i.e., you'll then have 6 individual ones) - preferably a bit longer than the ones you've got - and space them apart equally. It should take a lot of the pressure off the other 4.
I found some more recent pics from 2008 that show the 3rd set of pads in use: Last edited by Kaiser; 07-06-2011 at 03:52 PM. |
