Love your stuff that you do. 6'1 210 32 inseam, 64yrs. Looking for generally smooth water half/full day paddles say 10+ miles, for fitness (had a Dagger Axis 12 for a number of years) 2 to 3 times a week. Don't care about cargo capacity, just smooth, fast long glide, distance paddling. 1) Will I fit an LT ok? I prefer a comfortable, connected fit at thigh etc. 2) Any speed, efficiency, performance difference between LT vs XT worth noting? And finally, and would really appreciate your thoughts on this ... this will be my _last_ kayak and considering going for it IF there is real value for the money to be found ... 1) How much would I a gain by moving up to the Fathom from a speed, performance, efficiency stand point? Some? Really noticeable jump up? 2) I am seriously mulling a Stellar 16 Multi-Sport as well. Certainly the weight difference for that big bucks is an advantage, but strictly from an in the water perspective, paddling across a S Fla lake and 10+ miles up a canal (straight line, smooth water) what from an overall performance level will I gain? Is it a gap up or a marginal improvement for the dollars? 3) Thoughts on Fathom vs Stellar? My calculus on that is Fathom has more rocker and then what that entails. Thanks for your response.

Hi Mitch , thanks for these great videos, I’m going to buy a pocket canyon from you guys. Question, I’m not ever going to race , or likely not interested in anything over III, but I do plan to take the PC on flat water from time to time, to cross long lakes, with gear. Have you heard of anyone adding a removable skeg like this to a WW canoe? Thanks

Great kayaks, if you own one, you will paddle more often because you want to.

Now made in Mexico. Sad to see a great American kayak company take that route, but not surprising once you take on investments from a company that is owned by the family behind Walmart.

Good job showing righting the kayak and re-entry. Only problem is letting go of the paddle. Please stress the importance of maintaining control of the boat and paddle.

Looks very nice, thank you for showing this. What class would you trust the pocket canyon for soloing? Looking at getting this to primarily solo trip some big water, like the Green and Colorado. Is that a bad idea with a setup like this?
@mitch4christ122 күн бұрын
I think class 3 would be totally doable riding solo in the pocket canyon. Big water trips like the Green and Colorado would be good for it. With all the rocker, this pocket canyon is a pretty dry ride unless you are getting into some steep stuff. A skirt is always an option. The gear capacity is really nice in a pocket canyon if you're running it solo

@mitch4christ1 thank you! I did not know they made canoe skirts but that would make me feel a lot more comfortable with float bags and a skirt. Would this setup work on level 6-9 or is that a bad idea? I've taken open top aluminum canoes and stillwater kayaks down some hairy class 3+, I'm just trying to gague how far I could make it down a full green/colorado float without portaging. Dories are just too expensive ATM

Nice boat (we have the larger canyon), how are you liking the adjustable middle saddle paddling ww? I'm in the process of re-fitting a caption, trying to figure out my options.
@mitch4christ122 күн бұрын
The saddle is very nice! Plus the very coosh knee pads from Salamander. I like being able to move the saddle forward or backwards depending on weight in the boat. Or just take it out completely. Only thing is that the knee pads are permanent, so they may get in the way of a barrel, but I can also use my bills bag or Watershed Colorado dry bag which would sit on top just fine.

@georgemichie9408Ай бұрын
You did it the right way. I did it the easy way: added knee cushions and thigh straps to sit on the bow seat while kneeling or without kneeling, facing the other direction and paddling stern first. Works pretty well, but end up weighted a bit far back. Adding a real saddle in the right place is the way to go.

"not made for going out in the ocean" yeah I guess thats the reality for both of these Yaks, designed for lakes only. Unless anybody has taken either to salt water on relatively calm days. Hobie is over priced but the better model. nice review, just get a blimp for your mic, solves the problem

I really wanted to like these, but they are unusable in snowy conditions. The Alec audio system works great. The lenses on sunny/cloudy days are great. If you want to use them when it's snowing, you won't be able to see anything. Snow enters into the inside of the lens and accumulates at the bottom of the lens. They will fog up with all the moisture from the snow evaporating off you face. Totally unusable in snowy conditions. I'm returning my for a refund. Avoid!
