The Kayaker and the Shark

We’ve seen plenty of pictures of guys doing crazy things around sharks. Which is why this video wasn’t as exciting for me as it is for some, nevertheless it made big news the other day.

Video after the break because of annoying autoplay in some browsers.

Wavewalk Kayak Super Stability Demo

We’ve covered the Wavewalk kayaks before, and this video is just as impressive as the last, if not just for the guy’s cardio. I feel tired just watching him! Definitely looks like a great fishing kayak that could handle some really big fish. I’d love to have one of these on the Toronto Islands, or better yet dropped out of a helicopter on to Little Vermilion. But now I’m just dreaming…

I Love To Shop!

OK, I really don’t like shopping, but I do like spending money, which is really unfortunate, because I don’t have a lot. I did however, make two big purchases this week, and they cost me nothing. I got a new underwater video camera (the same one Jon just purchased, the Sanyo WH1), which was a late birthday/Fathers day present and a new kayak.

Some of you may remember I picked up a used canoe last year and had hoped to use it regularly. I’m ashamed to say it, but I haven’t used it once this year. It was a pretty beat up canoe, but despite its looks, it worked just fine. The reason I never used it is because no one would go canoing with me, and since the canoe was a good 80+lbs, transporting it to and from the roof of my car wasn’t an option. Well today I sold it, and with the money I received I was able to buy myself a new entry level kayak that was on sale because its an older model. I don’t have an excuses not to be using this new toy, its half the length of the old canoe, and weighs only 26 pounds!

Pelican Break SE Kayak

Its nothing fancy, but it’ll get the job done!

Wavewalk Kayaks

We’ve seen some pretty unique kayaks in the past, but the Wavewalk kayak looks ideal for fishermen. The shape allows for stability that is simply unattainable in a standard kayak. You can sit, kneel and stand upright, even in waves!

Check this one out, its all rigged up for fishing!

The price? From $850 to $1250 depening on the size.
