Hiya mate. Good to speak to you at Melbourne on Saturday. Great little spot for a mooch on land or water and not too busy. Catch you again sometime. All the best Mike👍
Have you seen the 2024 Tandem version on your travels yet? I was lucky to buy a Sevylor Diveyak in 2006 (still going strong) and have been considering this as upto date version of that kayak, the paddle board function would just be a bonus.
@@MoreThanJustaCleaner your review helped me decide to go for a hybrid. I ended up going for it and buying the tandem 2024 version. I was going to do a review, if interested. 😹 it will be my first time reviewing something on TH-cam though, it won't be very pro-looking (at all).
5:03 i wish i had youtubers showing me that when i was a noob. I kept looking for videos about how weird and awkward geting in and out but youtubers at the tine didn't talk about it. If anything they themselves deleted the scenes of them geting in and out of theirwatercraft...
Hello, I was able to test the board, as a standup board it is very tippy, as a kayak it is great, I don't know if I will keep it because I also wanted to use it as a standup board, p.s. I've been doing standup paddling for a few years
@@MoreThanJustaCleaner Yes, I saw it, it looked good, that's why I bought it, unfortunately the weather is getting worse to do further tests 😭, but I'll keep it because it's great as a kayak
It's largely personal preference. I prefer a longer paddle to keep water out of the boat and generally use 240-250cm paddles. I'm about the same height as you 👍😊
@@radioold6812 oh lord yes yes yes! Any gear included with a boat should largely be considered to be intro level crap! The price is for the boat! Any extras may or may not be a bonus. I recommend a fibreglass paddle. These are great value - www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09PMGRMHS/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_apa_gl_i_6CFZ01H4P1Z5GKWEEMAV?linkCode=ml2&tag=yorkhouseclea-21 Fibreglass shaft, nylon blade, lightweight, adjustable 230 to 250cm. I've reviewed these on my channel a couple of years ago. I still have one.
Not being that tall I can't talk from personal experience. However if you see the clip with Dave in the boat - the guy who says about it being stable - he's 6'2''. He didn't have a problem with it 👍😊
Have you still got the Cascade? Looking through your videos, it seemed to be your favourite. My new short list is now the Cascade or the Optimal. Sorry to keep asking things! Cheers.
Aqua Marina is selling these direct right now for 1/2 price as of April 8th, 2024. How did I miss this one? I bought a Bluefin Cruise 10.8 which I absolutely love, I paddle it exclusively as a kayak, like you I have no interest in stand up paddleboarding, I wish I had seen this product last year. I may still buy one of these anyway.
@@MoreThanJustaCleaner I've been enjoying your videos mate, I appreciate your commitment to the inflatable segment 😀, you've surely got the most comprehensive inflatable kayak review video library on TH-cam 🤔. Ugh gonna be a job getting that one inscribed on your trophy. 🙂Cheers!

How do! :D yes it was good to meet you!

No I've never seen one. Sounds big 😅
I am trying to find a review for the 2024 Tandem one, no luck yet! I was considering it too.
@@ClariceReviewsStuff it would certainly be a stable craft.

@@ClariceReviewsStuff just go for it, I hardly look professional myself 😅 Do you like the tandem version?

@@gustavomedrano3628 I've done multiple videos on getting in and out.
Hi 6 foot 2 inch 19 stone body builder , would this be a good first boat/board for beach rive canal etc
@@a3xloser I don't see why not. It'll have a weight capacity of around 180 to 200kg.
@@MoreThanJustaCleaner thanks
@@a3xloser you're welcome 👍😁

Have you seen any reviews from other people who are also SUP board users?
@@MoreThanJustaCleaner Yes, I saw it, it looked good, that's why I bought it, unfortunately the weather is getting worse to do further tests 😭, but I'll keep it because it's great as a kayak
do you think 236cm length paddle is good or too long for Cascade? i am 174 cm high.
It's largely personal preference. I prefer a longer paddle to keep water out of the boat and generally use 240-250cm paddles. I'm about the same height as you 👍😊
Thank you for kind answer.naturally,do you recommend better paddle rarher than included one?

@@MoreThanJustaCleaner really appreciate for your precious information. Regards Byun
@@radioold6812 you're very 😁
I'm 6ft tall will I fit in the cockpit, without my knees being in the way?

It's ok, ask away. Yes I've still got it. The efin works well with it 😁👍
@@MoreThanJustaCleaner Ok cheers, I'll make my mind up one day! Enjoying your videos anyway while I decide!

Yeah I've still got mine. It's great when I need a craft with a large, flat deck, like to put a Christmas tree on 😅👍

Another great review 😊
