ADVISE THREAD Surf Kayak?

You are the only one who can answer your desire, Grasshopper.

 

That's like asking if you try should gay sex because your wife is out of towne.

 

I am cracking up!!! Thanks for the laugh nynj!

 

I surf with a guy in La Jolla who surf Kayaks. He loves it, gets just as barreled as anybody else. He doesn't go out when its big though. Usually 4' is his limit.

 

No. Go bodyboard instead.

 

hahahahaha

 

It is...can you kick? If not, buy a bigger bort for a little extra float.

 

There's this 70+ year old ft who does it around here...comes out onto the beach and does overhead presses w/the yak to get warmed up...pretty amusing

What's not is that he thinks his aarp card allows him to sit outside and snake every wave

Haven't seen him yet. Maybe if you tore your meniscus he broke a hip...summer will tell

 

This cracks me up

 

Doing anything in the ocean is better than sitting on the beach or at home on your ass. If you can't surf or boogie, I say get the kayak and give it a shot. I've ridden them in some small/shallow stuff when I didn't want to ding up the board on the shallow reef.

Plus you live on the gulf, it'll be fun to get it out on the water on the flat days. Break out a rod and fish from the top.

What do I know though, I'm just a kook from Pennsylvania

Go for it.

But personally- I would just get a bigger longboard

Back in the 2000's I had a friend who would always surf kayak or what you want to call it. He has special kayaks that where a bit shorter- and had a removable fun like a longboard fin. It was really good at it and could ride the waves just as well as a surfer- cut backs, barrels and everything- and had complete control. He usually paddled out on bigger days tho- like 5 or bigger. I don't remember seeing him on small days- but I don't know why you couldn't..

Everyone will probably say that your gay tho.. Until you drop into an 8ft barrel and make it out - then they just will call you a wave hog instead

 

If your gonna do it- just get the right kind of kayak

 

Good one. Thanks for the laugh.

To Bruce: Just give it a try... the surf or non-surf kayaking that is.
