Interesting!
Seems to me that blow up boats would be pushed around by the wind more
than heavier solid boats. I've been thinking of getting something that
I could take to local beaches to float along within a few hundred feet
of beaches and maybe occasionally on a medium sized lake. Of course
they would be great on a smooth as glass mill pond like in the video.
Let us know how those things work in the ocean. Gotta admit, I like
the high comfortable seating although it can't be as stable as a low sitting position.

Hobie might disagree but in my opinion no canoe or kayak is safe in
rough water, especially cold water. It doesn't take long to lose
breathing abilty in those circumstances. Don't ask me how I know.

Maybe a more sensible option would be a 8' Zodiac type yacht tender with
a 3 hp motor. I want something I can easily manhandle up onto my utility
trailer and then remove onto a stand when the trailer does it's real work.


I kayak fish the ocean. Actually fished my Outback this afternoon, while
wife used one,of the new boats. Caught a few spotted a bay bass. Here in
San Diego, Mission bay, the water is 70 degrees. Northern cAlifornia the
water is 48-55 and I wear a wetsuit.

For what I want it for...a plain paddle style sit-on kayak might be the simplest.
