Throwback Thursday: Pelican Trailblazer Stability Challenge

I’m sorry about the quality looking like it was filmed with a toaster, but I thought the info was good, and the stoke was high. So here it is, my Cheap Kayak Challenge from 2019. Testing the Pelican Trail Blazers stability and explaining the benefits of a kayak with a bulkhead vs one without. Have a good laugh at my expense.

Finding the Best Used Kayak Under $1000

The Kayak Hipsters Video: https://youtu.be/NnzOMXa2LH0

The Kayak Hipster and I are on the hunt to find some great values under $1000. We want to show how much value you can get with your money if you’re willing to buy used, and put in a little sweat equity. I found this classic Dagger up in the Pacific North West and was able to pick it up for $800. I’m excited to go through it and make sure shes in perfect running order before I take it out on an epic adventure. Be sure to check out the Kayak Hipster Channel to see what he found!

Box Store Kayaks: Down River Review

As we made our way into Southern WA. Ethan and I hooked up with our buddy Mike for a float on the Cowlitz River. This 8 mile stretch of class one current was the perfect place for us to put some cheap kayaks to the test. We’ve reviewed both the Perception Swifty and Lifetime Tamarak in other videos, but I was super excited to spend some more time in them and do a proper shakedown in current. So in a way, this is a review, but it was also a bit of a serendipitous adventure. My favorite kind! Thanks for watching it. We hope you find it helpful.

First Look: Seastream Kayaks Angler 120

The second stop on our PNW Roadtrip was to Alder Creek Canoe and Kayak to drop off a load of boats, including the brand new Seastream Kayaks Angler 120. Things have been so busy at the shop that this was actually the first time I was able to open one up and have a look. So here it is, you and I are seeing it at the same time. A lot of kayak for the $$.

Why Do I Offset My Paddles??

As I look through my comments, there is one question that pops up more than any other. Why are my paddles offset? I decided to make a little video breaking down why I choose to use an paddle offset, and why you may want to give it a shot as well. I hope this helps!
