It's been a while.

Back in the day, I ordered a 2013 Malibu X Factor from OEX and had them install a livewell. I got all excited and had it out a few times, then dad responsibilities kicked in with coaching football, baseball, getting one of my sons to finish his Eagle rank, etc. I also wasn't kind to my body either.

I recently had gastric bypass surgery at 55 and I am waiting a couple more months to be able to lose enough weight to kayak safely. I need to be able to get myself in the kayak if I fall out, Haha!

I only have about two and a half years left for ocean fishing as I will be retiring to the Boise area. I figure it is time to dust off the yak, and to get ready for some ocean fishing before I leave. I am a San Diego native, so it is going to be a rough transition to Boise.

Just wanted to reintroduce myself and catch up. I was shocked to see Malibu Kayaks, close up. I have an X Factor and a 14 foot Stealth. Anything else that I missed?
