I have a sit on top kayak. What is the pump for? Water that gets inside? I have heard this before but I have been out on my yak and I haven't had to pump water. Is it for shore launches and after coming through the breakers? I could use the insight, thanks.

Yes some kayaks do leak a little bit, but I always have it for emergencies. Like a shark bites your kayak and you start taking on water or something ha. You wanna have a way to get the water out some guys have bilge pumps but a handpump should be ok

Is the rubber upfront a standing platform?
didn't think those would carry that kind of weight?

its a silent traction from harmony gear, it helps to keep the noise down...

That's what I just bought. The only reason I bought it, other than the price was that it is basically a Tarpon 120 sold as a Pescador 12.
