Kayak

to this morning's Andrea Kaye show.

FYI, did y'all hear this story that off the beach in San Luis Obispo, this kayaker got knocked out of his kayak by a great white shark? Wow.

Kayaking, you're just a little too close.

You're just like a little bit of a sitting duck.

I got certified as a scuba diver once, and it's like I never had any fear under the surface, under the water, because you could see what's coming around you.

Yeah.

And and basically at that point, you're not really sacrificing weight because, you know, a kayaker also has a sleeping bag.

Kayaker also has like a sleeping pad or inflatable mattress.

You know, you have all the same things.

You just have to shove it in a much smaller space.

So I want to be more consistent.

huge congratulations to Ewan Minor who won both the AOI for the Bassmaster Kayak Series and he actually won the National Championship last week up in Lake Mary South Carolina if I'm not mistaken um Kidd is a hammer.

I mean, for the last five years that Kidd has just been on the fire.

It's hard to beat.

There's producers that are interested potentially.

There's people like Ash Dykes who's in Congo, Brazzaville, the Kayaka now.

He got issued 150 grand from a vitamin company from the US.

So there's an appetite for it.

Didn't even get any camping trips in this year.

We had so much going on with all the other things in life, plus kayak adventure series.

I wish we had gone camping.

We have a nice camping trailer.

How does the steering go with a 300? So I went budget on the steering.

I'm sure it would have been a lot better if I'd put the wizard FCS kit on it, but I was trying to say like, Hey, use whatever motor you want.

And actually, this kayak comes with foot steering automatically.

You just take the foot braces, you pop a little clip off the back of it, and then it slides.

And I've got a, uh, on the mainland, I've got a, um, Ozuzu D-Max is sort of like a Ram truck, but not as big, you know? Um, and that's me four wheel drive.

I just chuck everything on a kayak on top and, And when I got my electric bike, I'd just put it on the back sideways at the back sort of thing.

And I could have given that, that bike.

It's been bloody great.

And we're in a different studio today.

People will no doubt see from the video, but we're up in our Sydney office and we are set up in our studio up here and we have a really great special guest with us today, Merle Long from Canoe Slalom, Kayak Cross.

We just had this conversation before we started, so about the different categories of kayaking.

kayaking events, canoe slalom events.
