i started float tubing when i was 12 or 13. fun times, but id always see kayaks out there too and they'd go further and quicker. during my last few months in okinawa i started researching about them and watching videos by Jciviche and threshers and YT being hauled up from the depths. thought it was amazing. went kayaking a few times in Oki to try it out and loved it. found an XFactor on CL a week before i came home, called the guy up and told him my story and he agreed to hold on to it and i went and picked it up the day i flew in.
sore shoulders and bloody hulls ever since.
