I pimped my kayak :-D

[Trek420]

Oh my gosh Trek420, I have that model too, in orange. I am ashamed to admit I haven't taken it into any open waters yet. Glad you are liking it so much. Did you get the Backbone for it, or did you find it not to be necessary?

Oooh, I did not know about the option. More toys

I received an email from this forum that there was a response to my post in the thread. It has been a long time since I wrote that! Since then, I have used this convertible kayak with and without the backbone. Does help with heavier loads! Used it solo and with a second person. I did have to get a longer paddles though, for the reason you mentioned, the wider walls. It has been fun, I just wish I had the nerve to get the Rapid Sail accessory.

More toys indeed!

We did not get the backbone because that seemed more for those wanting to use the kayak on open water and or longer trips. So far we’ve just been puttering around on the local river.
