Malibu Kayaks new X-13 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

No sweat Matt. Tyler and I were discussing it this morning. When you get down to it, there's only so many ways to make a 13ft yak. Not surprising the solutions converge.

But the one thing that will be hard for me to leave in the extreme is the surf handling. Once you figure out that you are not trying to surf, you are trying to land, it's a great boat. Day in, day out, Baja or otherwise, that boat gets me on the beach dry while friends in other boats take the occasional bath (or panga ride)

Geesh, you make a decision to leave your kayak a couple times (baja) in 300 landings and you never hear the end of it...

Still batting .996, good enough for me...!

Just bought a kelp carrot at OEX today.... looked at the "camanche guns," for my reef use, but I am waiting for a seasniper...

These guns are a work of art!!!
