The Weatherman

I demo’d the Eddyline Equinox today over at Alki Kayak Tours.  What a great kayak!  Excellent maneuverability - no problem getting that boat to turn.  It was pretty breezy out (up to 20 mph) but it tracked very straight.  This boat does not have a rudder or a skeg - which I liked - those just complicate your experience.

It’s also a very light boat - around 46lbs - easy for one person to carry on their shoulder.   The cockpit was roomy and it has two watertight compartments to carry your gear.

Eddyline will be doing a demo day at Alki on June 23rd (need to preregister) - hopefully I can go to that and try out a few other boats like the Merlin XT and Fathom.  I’ve already taken the Night Hawk 17.5 out for a spin - excellent kayak also.
