Today was a great day. Got there just after 6am, was #10 in line and got my red stealth 12! Ended up going back because my gf wanted a small kayak. Got her a mini-x. Thanks for all the good laughs this morning. Definately made the 3 hour wait pass by faster.

Going to fish los alamitos bay tomorrow

Here is a short video of the yaks this morning and the line before we ran over Andy to get to our kayaks.



The guy in the circle is Fishsouthcounty and the person responsible for making us arrive at 1 am because he went to fatburger and said he drove by.

And the guy in the square is (BrokeLoser). Brokeloser was trying to pay his way up to the front of the line, but we just sent back to where he was like 8th in line. LOL







We didn't see the Brunette who gave Andy a hard time last time. Andy was having a panic attack just thinking about her.

I was there too. The wait turned out to be a good time.
I ended up with an X-Factor blem that was marked thin in a few different places. I'm pretty sure it means the wall thickness wasn't thick enough to make it to retail. Should I be concerned about this or is it really nothing to worry about?

Yes i have some thin spots on my X-Factor. Had it hanging in the Garage and the scupper cracked. But Andy to the rescue plastic welded it and installed some support on the inside.

Hey fellas, I was #2 in line in front of wiredantz today. I showed up with a buddy and I wasn't even gonna get another kayak since I have no problems with my wilderness systems Ride. But those prices were so good I brought back a xfactor plus my buddy got his stealth 12.

Awesome day, I cant believe I was in line at 3am. See you on the water.

Hopefully your wife was not too upset. I bet you she got over it already.

Your welcome man...glad i could inspire you to be at the front of the line. haha. good time this morning shootin the shit and passin the time even though i couldnt feel my toes till about 1030.


and as to yakcrazy...im not expert as this is my first yak. i would say just be very careful with your landings...find places with very little or no swell as those thin spots could potentially fracture if you come in to quick and hit hard.
