Mar 23, 2025 · Just keep it up and you’ll get a feel for controlling it pretty quickly. It’s like riding a bike for the 1st time. If comes quickly and soon you’ll feel as comfortable in it as you do in a wide row boat. The thing most new kayaks do wrong if they find a …

Jan 31, 2010 · I am expanding my fleet of boats and have run out of room inside my storage barn. I need your help in figuring out a way to store my boats outside on a wooden rack that I hope to build once the ground thaws this Spring. FWIW, I am NOT very handy when it comes to building things.
