Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Kayak shopping

Greg,

    Not to recommend any specific kayak, but the folks at Appomattox Paddle are top notch and I highly recommend them.

Thanks, Mark. 

Appomattox Paddle Co. carries and has in stock tandems from both Native and Wilderness Systems, which I think are our two front runners.  We're  taking to heart Phil's advice about seat comfort.  And it looks like I'm getting a T-bone hitch extender for my birthday (thanks for the rec, Jeff). They stopped doing demo days during the pandemic, but we're heading down to Farmville next weekend! 

I received some really good advice from the group.  Thanks, y'all!!

Cheers,

Greg, check out Native Ultimate 15, https://nativewatercraft.com/products/ultimate-fx-15-tandem-kayak?variant=42982920650936 - I own a 12 - its a great boat.

Appomattox River Company in Farmville, VA used to do a Demo Day in June on the water at a local park. Not certain they still do. They're on FB and at paddleva.com

Greetings, hive mind.

I'm looking for a tandem kayak my wife and I can paddle on the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers and fish from as well. We've found canoes too tippy, but maybe we didn't know what we were doing?

We've been to Front Royal Canoe and we're planning a trip to Annapolis Canoe and Kayak. Does anyone have a recommendation for a boat, thoughts on inflatables, and/or a recommendation for a shop with good inventory and knowledgeable staff? What (other than weight) are some factors we should consider in looking at different boats?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

-- Greg
