I went to the beach the other day and people couldn't stay away from the new fiberglass ScupPro. Here are some kayakers that were down there on their bikes. We looked at the storage capacity and the rear hatch as well as the one way valves. It was nice to paddle out into the sunset. These protot

Taking time to search out new territory close to home and free my mind!

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone could provide some advice/insight into this matter.

Occasionally, I get to have fun in sea kayak models on demo days from outdoor stores h
