Thanks Mako Bob, I will consider that an invitation and I hope some day to take you up on it.

I totally agree with TagerMike on the seat thing. I upgraded my seat which helped alot and also bought one of those lower lumbar support pillows that has increased my ability to stay on the water longer with NO back pain. So I am changing my answer to a good seat but add that lower lumbar support for a great accessory.

makobob... where did you find the $99 sale? I clicked the link and they have the 1080p versions for $159. I was about to buy the $99 version if they had it! great accessory. I wonder if there are any other comparable ones for a similar price?

They were $99.00 when I posted the link. They do go on & off sale so keep an eye out for them. I paid $139.00

Downrigger camera for sure, but only on the odd days when it gets something worth the hours of review.

Onno paddles, @ 20oz in weight. Easy on my shoulder, wrecked from years of serving tennis balls too hard.

I've noticed a lot of you mention a nice light weight paddle. Would you say you still get the same work out from a light weigh paddle as opposed to a cheaper heavier one?

I have not upgraded my paddle quite yet because I enjoy the workout of the heavier one. But now that some of you say it's your favorite accessory, maybe the lighter paddle will give me a farther range and keep me out there longer. Thoughts?

YES, a nice high quality, light weight paddle makes a ton of difference. If you choose to paddle instead of peddling, then spend the cash on a nice paddle. I personally have a Aquabound Surge that is awesome. But all the other major brands have paddles that are just as good. Take the plunge.

Methman · 07-08-2016, 09:40 AM

I have some nice Bending Branches for sale in the buy/sale section. They are light and fast. Still a good workout despite being light. Remember it's always better to lift light with reps as opposed to heavy.

makobob · 07-08-2016, 09:56 AM

High quality LIGHT carbon fiber paddles are great, even for us peddle guys, never know where or when a drive wil fail. I make it a point to paddle some on every trip. The older we get the less we seem to work out, the paddle/peddle helps. Tight Lines.

But $499 plus tax?

MrPatrick · 07-08-2016, 12:47 PM

Nope, got one for $40 and the other one was free. It came with a kayak I bought and then resold.

Baja_Traveler · 07-08-2016, 12:53 PM

Quality ain't cheap.

2nd, if you have a paddle yak, is a good light carbon paddle. In the shop or on the sand the difference in weight between a great paddle and a decent paddle doesn't feel like much. But after hours of paddling you'll really notice. Mike

X2 on the seat. I had an old seat with very little padding on it that came with my used Stealth 12 kayak. When I bought my new X Factor, I upgraded the seat and WOW, what a huge difference that made to my ability to sit for hours on end.

My favorite accessory is a house on the beach.
