I'm taking the ride 115 out for the first time friday. Never been in a kayak before, anything I should be on the lookout for?

if you get hot, just lean hard to one side.
youll cool off fast laugh





whistle, lifevest & id stay shallow or at least close to the wind blown shore until youve practiced deep water re-entry.

Move slowly! I haven't fallen out of my 115 yet, and I am old and over weight.

Just think before you move...Nothing that you drop over the side is so important that you have to swim for it. Relax.

Bring a camera! Leave anything not waterproof in the truck/at the house and HAVE FUN! Welcome to the sport.

Keep your shoulders inside the cockpit. Leaning outside ends up in a garage sale.

Watch out for cottonheaded rattlemoccasins:)

Well decided to go Saturday afternoon instead because of the wind. Going to clark lake in Ennis around 4:00 if anyone wants to go.
