Paddle Yaks how far have you gone?
Im asking only feedback from Paddle guys cause I know a peddle yak can go faster and further due to less effort. How far out do you guys go either regularly or ever? I am in good shape but not sure how far is really far? My guess is I've paddled a distance of maybe 2 miles one way. Return trip on that 2 mile was against the wind and current and it was hell! I plan on upgrading to a carbon paddle eventually.

Coincidentally whether Dana or La Jolla the average day is right at 10.

My first season a few miles would hurt. Hurt my back, hurt my ass, hurt my shoulders.
This season got the right seat, got a lower lumbar support and now can stay out there for many hours no problem. Last month had a 9 1/2 hour day on the water and had no problems what so ever. Must have covered a dozen miles easily.

Around La Jolla and SD Bay, a nonchalant 6-10 miles is pretty common for a typical "half day" fishing.
A hard pump against the wind or rough water is different than a casual day of trolling around. It's easy to cover a lot of territory when we are peddling slowly, preoccupied with fishing.
