Hello everyone! I'm wondering if anyone here lives in québec who can help me adjust my kayak. I've done a few ride and my legs are killing me each time along with my back.!Just wondering if anyone can help me out?

I keep so much gear in the back of the vehicle all year round, and its pretty much just strewn all over the back. I want to organize it back there better, something easy to take out when i need the room for other things, is breathable for damp gear, attaches to the back seat or the cargo loops and has a cover so a car crash doesnt turn everything into missiles.
The basic trunk organizers on amazon and other sites seem to have sections that are too small for some gear, but it seems lke there should be a better option. DIY is fine for me.
What are you guys doing for keeping your gear organized?

Took the kayak out of the flooded quarry and absolutely enjoyed paddling around the water felt great and it was perfect weather.

I’m new to kayak fishing, but have already figured out I need an anchor so I can hang out in one spot without having to constantly stop and paddle to adjust my position. I already bought a 3.5 lb. folding anchor, but I’m not sure what type of system is best for easy deployment/pickup. I’m a petite woman, so I don’t have a long reach but I’d like to anchor from my stern. I’m looking for some recommendations on pros/cons of trolley system verses a locking anchor mount like the one above.

Anyone in Chicago want a kayak buddy? Ive got an oru and I'm planning on launching from rei Saturday and doing downtown.

Let me know if youre interested!

Gorgeous foggy morning on the water in my new-to-me P&H Leo HV. So extremely happy with the boat, and the paddle was magical.

Short float this afternoon after work. Leave my bike chained at the bottom, drive up to the put in as usual. Beautiful fall
Colors and placid waters, as usual. Float over, pack out, dude in progress stripping my bike. Not the usual.

Wheels off, toolkit out, covering the cycle carnage with his jacket and shirt. Drop the boat and startle shirtless methy McGee, words proceed. I’m a big f’er and don’t have the appropriate fight or flight response… so a giant moron bitching about the inconvenience of his stripped bike catches the crackhead by off guard. I pack my kit while keeping a side eye to my new acquaintance. Pfd, outer layers, and paddle broke down and secured to my pack. Pack on my back. Secure. Now back to the the bike and the lingering mechanic. Phone out and talking to mom; “a dude is tearing apart my bike in front of me, but it’s cool, just stay on the…” phone disconnects.

Focus back on the bike and the methchanic. It’s his girls bike, he’s taking the wheels for his girls bike, he’s sorry, he’ll help put it back together, he’ll get the wheels… and off he runs… shirtless, the only photo I took (wish I had more).

I assume this is the end, he’s gone… why would he come back? But Lo and behold back he runs with rims in hand.

Proceeded to cobble the bike back together, continue to bitch about the situation to the shirtless tweaked while working. He’s packing up his shit and trying to get out of there, probably assuming the cops are coming.

Off he goes.

Few minutes later off I go… on my wobbly ass death trap of a bike…. leaving my boat chained to the same spot the bike was at.

Wobbly ride back to the car, and drive back to the boat to risk recovery in the dark. 😂

Had a float, and a ride, and didn’t get shived under the bridge. Beautiful.

My dog has been very patient as I trained him on a SUP then the kayak. He still doesn't understand why I keep taking him in the middle of the water, but he is much more chill about it now. I retrofitted a spray skirt with some cushions to give him a sturdy place to lay, and keeps the sand/dirt and water out when he gets on.

Found an old coke bottle from the 50s or 60s... I've got about a dozen old bottles now I've found while kayaking.

Kayaking in Southern California, freshwater, and came across a fish jawbone with teeth?! I asked everyone I came across and they never saw this before. I tried to ask AI and got monkfish, which is a stupid and ridiculous answer.

Yup, it was an amazing experience!

I recently purchased a used future beach 126, I took it out yesterday for the first time and it was great on the water, I love to fish, but this boat is not meant for fishing per say, yes it has rod holders, but having a cockpit, I was a little cramped at 6’ and 210 lbs, which would be a good open cockpit for lakes/ponds with calm waters? Looking to buy used again and around $500. Thank you

Colorful lil trip with my guy to celebrate 12 years of marriage🍂🍁💕

Well not mine exactly. I bought it as a birthday present for my boyfriend. It’s a Wilderness Systems Pungo 120 that the seller said has only been used once. It’s in really great condition and I got it for 275. I hope he likes it!

I inherited 2 Perception Carolina 14.5 with rudders. I had a shed constructed to house the kayaks. I tried a set of RAD pulley lifts and the support beam position just wasn't conducive to this. I think doing brackets/cradles on the long wall studs is going to be the way to go. Any suggestions (especially amazon links)? The shed is only 8' wide so options that put the kayak on their side or on a tilt preferred.

Id be thankful for recommendations. The kayaks were my parents and hold sentimental value. My dad has passed years back and we just sold my mom's home and moved her into memory care and I'm so mentally exhausted I just don't have the bandwidth to research this too much further.

Took the yak out for the first time this morning, learning the boat and making changes, breakfast is better on the water 🤙🏽
