How long of a Yak?

[ocean_314]

There is a fully equiped 8' yak board for sale? I want to use it in the ocean around Ft bragg Ca on calm days. Is this a good yak is it big enough?

one that small is light and ez to toss in the back of a truck . but is very slow in the water and will have a very small load capacity, how much do u weight if its 200# or so its too small

170 plus a 26lb weight belt. and throw it in back of the truck is what i am looking for. sorry for the typo i met a 26lb weight belt not 36.

what model is it

I'm 235 and my yak is 9' I'm slower in the water but I can usually get in faster.

the longer the faster

i think that would be a little too small, but it would make a great assist craft for shore dives...if you need to paddle more than a half a mile, you will prolly hate life

With the prices of used kayaks you'll kick yourself later for not spending a little more. I wouldn't do it. I would be looking at least 11 foot (they all are easy to throw in/on a truck.)

I agree. Get one that is longer. Just go on Ebay and find the right rack equipment that is for your vehicle. There are several deals on Craigslist throughout California that are pretty cheap and come with everything you will need to get started (paddle, seat, etc....). take the time to look around
