Many modern plastic kayaks have added composite materials such as Kevlar skins for further protection of the hull. Once the required temperature is reached polypropylene plastic beads are added and the mold is enclosed and spun in order to distribute the polypropylene beads evenly around the mold. The kayak mold is then left to cool and the resultant kayak is removed from the mold for finishing buy the kayak maker.youtube.com Polypropylene is an extremely durable and resilient material offering the kayaker both strong construction and light weight transport. Roto molded plastic kayaks have now largely taken over from fibreglass models as the number one kayak material. The first modern plastics kayaks were manufactured in the early 1970s when the technique was perfected for rotation molding of polypropylene kayaks.


I have kayaked for most of my life and in the past had always used a rigid hard-shell kayak.youtube.com I chose to purchase an inflatable kayak for the sheer convenience of them. I wanted a kayak that I could easily store away in a closet, transport in the trunk of my car as well as on an airplane and be able to carry by myself. After a whole lot of research I ended up purchasing the Sea Eagle 380X Explorer Kayak. I love my Explorer kayak but there are two things about it that I wished were different. For one thing I wish it was lighter.


It weighs 47 lbs. The second thing I wish were different is the speed. Again it isn't bad but it is known for not being the fastest kayak in the water. Knowing these two downsides of my own inflatable kayak I couldn't help but love the new Sea Eagle FastTrack. The FastTrack is very comparable to the Sea Eagle 380X as far as size is concerned. It is identical in length and about an inch smaller in width. It also has the identical weight capacity (750 lbs.). The fact that this tandem inflatable kayak weighs so little is awesome and it also means that if a person wanted to use the kayak solo they would have no problem carrying it themselves. As far as design is concerned you can tell just by looking at the FastTrack that it has a slightly different shape than the Explorer kayaks.


It has a drop stitch outside keel at the bow which provides buoyancy and helps to stop the natural yaw of an inflatable kayak. There is a removable rear skeg that helps to keep the kayak tracking straight. It comes with a separate very rigid drop stitch floor which increases the overall rigidity of the kayak and creates side chines under the pontoons which enhances the overall paddling performance. Sea Eagle actually states that the floor of the new FastTrack is so rigid that it could even be used as a stand-up paddle board. That is quite impressive. At this time there is only the one size option - whereas the Explorer kayaks come in three different size options. I think there is little doubt why the Sea Eagle 385 FastTrack is quickly becoming a favorite inflatable kayak with many. Even though I love my 380X Explorer kayak, if I had the choice today I would have chosen the FastTrack over my currant model. I think if you do the comparisons yourself you will likely agree that the FastTrack offers far more positive points and features than many other inflatable kayaks on the market. One thing that is for sure is that there are lots of inflatable kayak brands to choose from. I would suggest doing the comparisons yourself so you can decide which features are most important in a kayak for you.


This keen angler was not going to let a snapped line get in the way of his prize catch as he dived off his kayak into shark-infested waters to wrestle the fish to one side. Seth Willoughby splashed around in the waters off the coast of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to make sure the large sailfish he'd hooked didn't get away. Mr Willoughby, from Pennsylvania, had travelled to the area specifically to catch a sailfish, and after a 15-minute fight, he thought he had his roughly six-foot-long catch. But as the dramatic footage shows, when the angler attempted to pull the giant fish into his kayak, he mistakenly grabbed the line rather than the fish's bill, causing the line to snap. With no hesitation, Mr Willoughby dived off the side of his kayak, grabbing the sailfish by the tail.


But in the waters, he was also surrounded by a seven-foot sandbar shark and two remoras, but fortunately for the angler, both swam away. Having dragged the sailfish to his friend's kayak, pictures were taken before Mr Willoughby let the sailfish go amidst shouts to warn him about the nearby shark. The fisherman, who works for Fishing Online, encourages fellow anglers to always wear a personal flotation device when kayak fishing. Sailfish are known for their unusual dorsal fin which resembles a sail as well as their elongated bill like that of a swordfish. They can grow up to ten feet in length and weigh up to 200 lb and are found in the colder waters of the Atlantic Ocean.


This is the eerie moment a couple explored a shipwreck while kayaking at Lake Michigan. Video footage, captured on GoPro, shows the pair kayaking up to a large shipwrecked vessel about three kilometres south of South Manitou Island. Incredible footage shows the pair paddle up to the vessel and even wade inside of it. Share Parts of the shipwreck can be seen surrounding the couple as they pan the camera around the kayak. The GoPro is even submerged in water to show parts of the shipwreck that have been lost to Davey Jones' locker. The man who took the film said: 'Me and my girlfriend set out on an adventure to see this shipwreck. I love adventuring and this seemed very awesome to do. So we went to South Manitou Island and kayaked the three miles and made this video! The SS Francisco Morazan was built in 1922 in Hamburg, Germany. It was used as a coal ship by Germany's navy during World War II, suffering extensive Allied shelling. It subsequently changed hands numerous times, also being owned by the Norweigan and Liberian governments.


The end of April we are planning to head to Australia for a significant birthday. We do know about the school holidays and if we come before that is over we will stay in Sydney during that time. We will have 19 nights on the ground, jet lag is gonna be bad I assume. Right now we are planning 4-5 nights Sydney, 3-4 nights Red Centre (Kings Canyon/Uluru), then the remainder at the reef. We are very experienced at snorkeling and have our own equipment, not sure we will haul them to Australia but they have been hauled to Hawaii and the Caribbean many times.


I have read a lot about Cairns/Port Douglas and Daintree and Kuranda. I also know this is stinger season and we will have to wear stinger suits there. Also wondered about southern GBR, no stinger suits needed it appears. Looking at Lady Elliot Island for 1-2 nights and looking at liveaboards (2-3 nights out of Cairns/Port Douglas) for part of the time . I have a couple questions. Should I only stay in one area of the reef for 9 nights? Or should we break it up? Snakes, sharks and crocs are not my friend. Sea snakes are a whole new animal. I am praying I see none of them. I have seen reef sharks in Hawaii and Caribbean before. Any place in Southern GBR that has liveaboards that people recommend? Thanks for any help!

The most important thing is that kids must first feel comfortable in the water. It is a great idea to start them out in a bath tub at home or in very shallow calm waters. Do not push your kids to learn how to snorkel, on the contrary, it is best if you let your kids to develop their skills at their own pace. If they are pressured, it will likely take out the fun of snorkeling. Do not worry, a child's skill will improve on their own with practice. Practice will undoubtedly develop your kids snorkeling skills. Ideally, begin your child's training in calm, shallow water, where your child is able to reach out with his/her arms. Shallow areas are also great and easy for your child to practice with buoyancy.


Mastering the skill and confidence to float will be a major milestone towards safe and relaxed snorkeling. However this will take time. So be patient and never push your child to exceed their capabilities. This skill will be perfected by time and practice. The next step is to have your kid practice the skill of treading through water. The most important thing to look out for is that your kid is comfortable and is able to lift their head above the water whenever the need arises. Teaching your kids snorkeling may take some time. This is more so the case when your kids learn on how to use their snorkeling equipment.


Once your kid is prepared to go snorkel, go with your child and keep close. Important to instruct your child to breath from his/her mouth. Ideally a mask stays reasonably dry on the inside, but it can (and does) accidentally fill with water. Show your kid on how to clear the water from a flooded mask by raising the head, pulling the lower edge of the snorkeling mask away from the face. If by now you think that your child has gained confidence, show him/her how to clear their snorkel should water come in. This is advisable as you wouldn't want your child swallowing water if he/she submerges their head below the water. The next milestone is to teach your kids on how to fin. Encourage them to kids to thread slowly through the water with relaxed movements and to use their hips during the kick in a way that he/she does not break the water's surface.

Brown, Mathew B. (2009) Biomechanical analysis of flatwater sprint kayaking. Doctoral thesis, University of Southampton; University of Chichester. Flatwater sprint kayaking performance can be assessed through the analyses of average boat velocity a paddler can produce, which has been shown to be directly linked to the levels of force production. Furthermore kayaking has been the subject of substantial level of investigation, within which research has identified that the evolution of equipment and resultantly technique has a direct effect on performance. The focus of the previous research has revolved around the upper limbs, with the trunk and lower limbs viewed as an inconsequential base around which the upper limbs move. Therefore the current thesis attempts to identify the application of the entire body during kayak paddling and clarify the importance of trunk and leg contributions to performance. A notational analysis of technique was conducted comparing novice, national and international level paddlers.


Do what makes you feel comfortable. When i was around 14, weighing then as much as you do now, i had the same dilemma. School trip with kayaking, water ski, mudflat hike (not sure with this translation). For the water ski we had to wear those isolating suits.youtube.com I feared i couldn't fit, so i skipped it. Couldn't skip the kayaking because both teachers were going with us and i couldn't stay back alone.youtube.com We had to wear swimsuits and after hours of walking my thighs were so red and swollen and burning from all the chafing. Every step was hell. This probably doesn't sound very uplifting, just please, do what you feel comfortable doing. If you want to swim, then do it! If you don't want to go kayaking, then don't! No-one wants you to feel bad on this trip. Its supposed to be a fun retreat. Keep that in mind and think of what will make you the happiest.
