I'd love to see reviews of older boats on the used market. For many of us, getting a better quality boat for our money means buying used. Sometimes there's not a lot of info on older, especially discontinued models. Maybe a classic/throwback style review series.

@BobBohner4851 6 месяцев назад

Absolutely true

@garychiang2568 6 месяцев назад

The lounge chair kayak was easily the most creative and fun kayak I saw on your channel this year. Definitely award worthy.

@kanakanorcal2565 6 месяцев назад

Yeah. That lounge in the trunk was pretty bad. Awesome bad(ass)!

We're glad we made the video... Twice! Great shots. 👍👍

@johnmaclachlan6960 6 месяцев назад

The Sea Eagle 330 is a versatile durable kayak,and amazing value and I'm sure it deserves to be in your best kayak list again. I have bought a Seago Quebec drop stitch kayak but still love my Sea Eagle 330 more.

@nunyabidness3075 6 месяцев назад

I have a Swift and love it. I really want one of their Combi’s. There are some smaller pack boat makers in the Adirondacks that make REALLY lightweight boats including Slipstream and Hornbeck.

@PaddleTV 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing! I hadn't heard of either of them. Very cool!

@maximusjoseppi5904 6 месяцев назад

I bought a rodloga.. it's so beautiful. Performs awesome too. Only downside is the lack of seat cushion which was easily remedied with a $30 gel pad

@PaddleTV 6 месяцев назад

Yup. The outfitting has room for improvement, but pretty easily upgraded too!

@slowridephotographyadventu6850 6 месяцев назад

That Swift Cruiser is my dreamboat and Ihaven't even paddled one yet! Plan on renting one from Ted next season.

@perymcgregor8424 6 месяцев назад

always look forward to your videos

@PaddleTV 6 месяцев назад

Thanks! Is this THE Perry McGregor that taught me everything I know? :)

For toruing: how about checking out Current designs Solstice GT and Solstice GTS. Two of the best touring boats ever designed. Too bad Wilderness Systems doesn't make the Tchaika anymore. Great day tripping boat. The entire kayaking industry of the 1990's and early 2000's really took a hit around the time of the 2008 economic crash and many of the great kayak companies had to completely change their line up of boats, or go under (pun intended). But what a great loss for many of the Wilderness Systems boats and many of the Perception boats as well..... Maybe you could report on some of those boats. Who knows, it might spark a resurgence of interest in having many of those boats manufactured again.

I love my delta. 👍

@kdt5165 6 месяцев назад

Would love to hear your opinion about the Petrel, either in original woodstrips or in composite from Turning Point Boatworks.

@PaddleTV 6 месяцев назад

Ooo. Would love to try one of those some day...

@TurningPointBoatworks 6 месяцев назад

@@PaddleTV , lets work on making that happen! I'll be out West with one or two in April.

@1z1zmike 6 месяцев назад

Are there any other light- weight , short - less than or up to 10ft. long canoes? Thanks for review!🙂🙏

@garzapedroa 3 месяца назад

Can you review Intex seahawk 4 boat? It's 150 USCY in the US

@BobBohner4851 6 месяцев назад

Great awards. What about best fishing boats

@paulhayes9765 6 месяцев назад

Hi Ken. Great review video. Have you ever tested the Esquif Adirondack? Just curious. Cheers

@joshck93 6 месяцев назад

The review of the Perception hangtime 11 surprised me because I knew where you was paddling, and I know the guy that was with you.

@PaddleTV 6 месяцев назад

It was a great river to test it, that's for sure!

@justingill1520 6 месяцев назад

Im looking for a longer boat for week-month long trips. Doesnt seem to be many videos or reviews in general for kayaks much over 16 feet.

@lenjanssen9600 6 месяцев назад

I hope you can test a few different Eddyline Kayaks in the future

@PaddleTV 6 месяцев назад

I hope I can too! They don't seem to want to send me a kayak to review. Feel free to send them an email and let them know they should! :)

My wishlist for 2024 would be the following : - Perception Essence 16 or 17 - Prijon Grizzly - Liker Expedition 16.5 - Liker Easty 4.5 - Norse Bylgja But to be honest I sometimes get the impression that you are a bit burned out this year so maybe leave 2024 for what it is and continue in 2025 with the channel ?? :)

@markscala9136 6 месяцев назад

What do u think of nova craft canoes

@PaddleTV 6 месяцев назад

I haven't tried them yet, but I was planning to reach out to them to see about testing/reviewing one next year.

@user-eb4zj4ju2w 6 месяцев назад

I bought a bonafide EX123 it’s the best kayak I’m a big guy I’m 6.1 and weigh 275 and the kayak feels very stable I fish every weekend out of it I wished they would have got an award from Ken lol

@PaddleTV 6 месяцев назад

:). Awesome to hear you're loving it. It is a great boat!
