[QUOTE=JNAST13ST;119688]So finally got on the water with the yak for the first time, I was so excited and met up with darth at shelter island. We geared up and set off to the bait barge filled up my new vittle to just fish the bay. After about 20 mins of fishing I look up and my unused rod was tangled up so I devoted to try to just stand up and undo the tangle bad idea. Got hit by a little wave lost my balance and fell in the water. I ruined my iPhone lost my lighter and got my smokes wet. I got a huge bite right after that that snapped my lone after 10 minutes or so. After report... Came home tired, sunburnt and no fish lol, I'll get em next time good expeirence for my next trip.

Waterproof your important stuff. I reached for a used pack of smokes a few years back, flipped of LJ and lost 2 rods, ruined my phone, and a new pack of smokes. Lesson learned. Keep things secured and important "non waterproof" stuff safe. The fishing will make up for those bad days.

X factor

The x-factor is stable, but standing? That's pretty ballsy!

I feel comfortable standing and paddling my x-factor like a SUP, but i'm paying 100% attention.

Try one of these for the phone. http://www.google.com/products/catal...d=0CNQBEPMCMAA
