Choosing a kayak - length matters

If you are new to kayaking, here is most of what you need to know about how the length of your kayak affects its performance.

I created a 16 page PDF with hundreds of tips for playing and working in the outdoors! They are called The Guides Way and you can get them here. https://ko-fi.com/adventureotaku/shop

You can get my gear list and float plan (AND STICKERS!) here https://ko-fi.com/adventureotaku/shop

I offer free stroke consultation! Send me a video of you paddling with the camera in front of you, and I’ll send it back with notes! Brett@adventureotaku.com
