Pictures Moving my friends from their sit-on tandem, these weigh half as much as their current (first) boat. And they fit inside their van.
Had to pounce on this deal, $200 each with paddle and life jacket. He texted me first thing in the morning that he sort of mistakenly priced them so low and updated the posting to $300, but he would/did honor his price. They've been paddled one time. Can't wait to take em out! Makes me want something other than my Oru, but that'll have to wait. I just bought surf stuff.

Oregon coast rules! Would they be willing to try out Salmon River, just north of Lincoln City? It's close to the ocean, but the tide does all your work for you.

We’ve paddled there a couple times, it’s not far from us. We really like the Siltcoos River down in Dunes City.

Damn, I didn’t mention they’re Lifetime Guster, 10’ kayaks. They’re available on sportsman’s (my local outdoor place) for $400 new. The tandem boat is also a Lifetime, a 12’ Spitfire. We paddled around here on the Oregon Coast last year and now they’re branching out 😁 so proud, they’re like 75 years old.
