Inflatable Kayak Blog

We haven’t had our inflatable kayak for very long, but in the time we have had it we have enjoyed some memorable adventures. This is a story about our first paddling experience in our new Sea Eagle 330.

Our first time out was at a small lake in a county park in Harrison County, Indiana. It was a warm night in mid April. We were surprised at how fast the boat inflated and we were eager to try our hand at paddling it for the first time. The lake was very calm so there wasn’t any problem with the stability of the boat and we found it easy to launch. Getting both of us to get the paddles into the water without clunking them together was another story. This was the first time either of us had been in two-person kayak. For the first part of the trip around the lake, we weren’t very coordinated. After a while, though, we were almost looking like we really knew what we were doing, at least to a few people on the shore who would wave or ask us about out boat. We didn’t want to get overly tired for our first time out so we only stayed out on the lake about 30 minutes. After this paddling trip we were on to bigger and better things. I’ll be blogging about some of the places we have been, including some more ‘eventful’ trips. If anyone else would like to share some of their adventures, I would really like to hear about them.
