Nice shots. I'm a little slow catching this one. I've been looking at kayak's as well. There is a creek that runs through our property (although I think too small for kayak). The near neighbor has a nice pond, and then there are several lakes around, including the very large lake Champlain.
Hauling them a bit of a hassle though. I was actually looking at this new foldable kayak called an Oru Kayak. It folds up into a briefcase size and only weighs about 20 lbs. (9 kilos). Only takes a few minutes to un-fold or re-fold. They have several models. While I don't think I would take one on whitewater river trips, they seem like ideal for lakes and even limited open water that would be fine for my level of adventures. Anyone ever tried one of these? What was your experience? Their setup videos look pretty amazing.
I'm quite enthralled with the new black one.

Now this is interesting!
I've never seen these so thanks for being a
goodbad influence and putting something new on my want-list (that list I spend a lot of time denying). I'd not want to get into anything too serious with it as you say but for paddling about like I did in this post it would be perfect! Transportable so can go on road trips easily and by the looks of it it would cut through the water quite nicely. They even ship to Australia.FYI:
Yes, that the same model I liked, except I really like the new black color version of it. I just found these a couple weeks ago, but definitely keep getting pulled back every time I see a nice kayaking picture posted. The list just keeps growing. I've still got a garage to pay for first!
The black one for sure. Kind of costly though. It's a great concept though and so much easier than hauling a typical yak or canoe around.
