Its about I got her out!
One thing I learned is it was a killer workout!! Could'nt move my arms the next day (felt like someone smashed my shoulder blades with a bat) no wonder you ol timers use foot pedals. I was cruising around HB Harbor for the most part until I got comfortable....... then I paddled like a mother and put my bitch into full throttle to see how fast I can get her going and was I surprised on the how quick my Prowler15 is. While out there I met STEVE GREEN aka:landwhale who showed me where to go and offered some great advice (thanks ol timer) so next time Ill be heading to the bridge. Theres still more I need to learn and even though I didnt catch crap I was Happy to get my girl out.....think ima name her PEACHES , Ill plan out my trip by gathering more intel on HB and NPH (maybe start working out on my arms so I can handle longer distances)...alright ladies, Peace!!! Im an idiot, Title is suppose to say "ITS ABOUT TIME I GOT HER OUT" Last edited by pistolitas 13; 04-05-2011 at 01:56 PM. |

Check out some of the paddling videos on Youtube, and the Kayak fishing videos. They can really help you avoid being in pain the next day. It sounds like you may have been paddling too much with your arms and not as much with your body. I was like that and now I use more of my body, believe me it will cut down on the pain you feel later or the next day. I agree with you though it's a great workout.
Welcome to the sport and hope to see you pulling fish over the rails soon.

Old Guys Rule
As for my Hobie. I can motivate, troll, eat, drink a beer and talk to my buds at the same time without stopping.
Jealousy is what come to mind. Old Guys Rule! P.S. Whats the legal age to be an "Ol Timer" ? |

I don't think there is an age, I think it's when someone starts using terms like, When I was your age, when I was younger, or Back in the day. I could be wrong, but that could be the start of Ol Timerism.

Ummm, for old men? Try peddling one for 4-5 miles. You're just sore in a different place. I figure I will be able to run a three minute mile without breathing heavy.

Sorry about the fellas I should of been more specific. When I meant ol timers I was trying to say Fellas who have been using yaks for a very Loooooooooooong time!!!!!!! I kinda use it in other ways such as Age, people who are pros at their craft. I respect everyone and It wasnt my intention to offend anyone especially my elders. Yes, old guys rule because they know their shit and I know jack squat. I was just stoked to bust out my kayak for the first time and I wanted to share my experience with you guys.

As an official "Old Guy", (I even have the hat), I can tell you that Hobies are to kayaking as the parabolic shaped skis are to that sport. They make it so much easier for those of us with well traveled, experienced bodies to enjoy the activity. I can see no reason that an age induced, physical limitation will cause me to have to give up this sport anytime soon. Lifting the kayak to the roof of my SUV may be another story. The thing seems to get heaver every trip. Bob |
