I have never seen one on the water. However I think the Big Tuna is pretty cool. I like how you can make it a tandom and have the seats facing one another

i was trying to buy one of your old yaks off you but i changed my mind and got a cuda.

Oxbeast1210 · 04-11-2013, 03:00 PM

For me what I liked least was the seat . Its similar to the native
Seat but for some reason my lower back would be hurting fairly quick.
It works awesome for most people it just wasnt right for me .I did like the
Balance of stability and speed. Plus they have some unique colors.

Oxbeast1210 · 04-11-2013, 03:06 PM

Honestly I'm very glad that Jim moved to Jackson Kayaks and the reason that I say that is I think that has opened up the door for ALL of the Kayak companies to start moving into our region.

FeelFree Kayaks, the Moken 14 is an amazing Kayak. If any of you want to test paddle the one I have let me know and I'll meet up with you. They are great.

im really interested in your yak. I looked at some older models from feel free a year ago (or 2) and i wasn't that impressed, but the new features look really sweet. I'd like to maybe check it out somtime.

We can meet up sometime and I'll let you check it out and paddle it if you like. That goes for anyone that wants to test out the Moken 14. Maybe I'll setup a demo time or something.

do you ever fish dp?

I just got a Cuda 14. Took it out to SD bay last week. I was able to stand up fish off it, stand up paddle, the 2 heights for the seat is great. The center hatch stays dry and so does the hull. Being able to stage the rods and keep the tips protected is a big plus. I got one you can try at the So Cal fishing club get together on the 28th. See you there!
