Found your channel through Boot Wizard's fantasy league, not much of a paddler myself but I know some people that are, I'll recommend you this is cool stuff. If you could stop winning the fantasy league every week that would be great though.

[@WaterWizardUK]

Charlie W thanks for the support and recommendation it’s appreciated greatly. Unfortunately I can’t promise to stop winning fantasy football although the season is long so I’m sure I won’t have it all my own way 😂. Good luck for the rest of the season.

Looking forward to this one very nice, great to see it out on the water. Do you have any negatives about the boat? Anything you don't like?

[@WaterWizardUK]

James Agar thanks for the watch and the support. There is very little I don’t like about this kayak. The only 2 things are for me personally it’s a little wide but that’s because I paddle a very narrow sea kayak normally & if I’m being very picky the deck line knots annoy me as they come loose sometime and make the line go slack 😂. Really everything else on this kayak is really great.

My current old boat has a lot of drag on the flats does this feel smooth and glide nice ?

[@WaterWizardUK]

Hi, Thanks for the watch! Yeah the Edge 11 has a good amount glide on flat waters and paddles smoothly thanks to its v-shaped hull. Enjoy your paddling!

[@suchasreallife]

@@WaterWizardUK ok thanks 👍👍

[@vynleshmynle7372]

would be nice to see you demonstrate the raising and lowering of the skeg

[@WaterWizardUK]

Tricky to do that one on the water but Thanks for the feedback and watching 👍

[@0331longrifle]

I have one of these boats and love it. You can raise and lower by a small slider on the right side of the boat, above the water line. It’s attached to a cable and you slide it back and forth to raise and lower it. Very easy to do and a cool feature

How much gear can be stowed for a longer adventure

[@WaterWizardUK]

Hi naturally it depends on what you want to take but the rear storage area has a great amount of room, then there is a bit of space behind the seat, as well as room on the decks under the deck bungees. Should be fine for a weekend trip but if your talking longer trips than that look at the Edge 15 or Riot Enduro 13. These have front and rear storage hatches. Cheers for watching!

I have one of these kayaks, it’s a great rec/tourer. But I have had a headache trying to get a spray deck that actually fits it, especially neoprene. It’s a 37” (96cm) long cockpit by 20.5” (52cm) width. It’s a most unusual cockpit size. If anyone has a spray deck that actually fits this kayak, that doesn’t leak because it’s too loose, that isn’t a nightmare to get on then please let me know. I am debating selling this kayak this year because of the bizarre sized cockpit. I don’t want to waste more money trying to get the right size of spray deck. I have a custom size one, but it just does not fit correctly at all. Thanks for any advice anyone.

I got a riot edge 11, mine came with this kit www.westsystem.no/p/22369/komfortpakke-til-kajakk. It’s in Norway, but maybe they could help you

[@patoreilly5859]

Spraydeck for dagger mamba fits perfectly

[@Davenwolf]

How long is your paddle?

[@WaterWizardUK]

Hi, That paddle was a 210cm Werner Corryvreken. I swapped it for an Ikelos now and I'm glad I did the Ikelos is such a nice paddle!
