I'm getting ready to purchase another yak so I've seen 50 plus reviews as I research.....ur review was one of the best.....focus and on point...thanks I liked and subscribed
This is such a great video showing all the H12’s features. Well done!
Great in depth review been thinking of buying the H12 thanks to your video I’m sold...
Cool review. I'm actually looking at the H10 used and ran across your review while searching. Thanks!
Hey there, love your review of the H12 , I was interested for awhile now, I have the FS12 and I got it because at the time it was one of the biggest fishing type kayaks out there, I like a sit in kayak as apposed to sit on, just feels safer, also like the cargo capacity for camping, and of course the tunnel hull design for stability, that being said, the H12 is more of all I like, not looking to win any races, and kinda like the "barge" feel, lol, my primary usage is load it down for island camping, so thanks for the review so keep up the vids, we're watchin, yak on.
really enjoyed this video . I personally have the Fx Native watercraft . The two are very similar . You have a new subscriber . Keep up the great work
I've watched a lot of reviews on a ton of different products and I'd just like to say that this video is one of the best I've seen. You left no questions unanswered in my opinion. Well done!
Travis R What an awesome compliment, Thanks a bunch!
This kayak looks perfect to be able to have my dog come along with me! He should fit comfortably in the back I'd think.
Best review ive seen.
Awesome review! I just bought my H12 and was watching your review and couldn't help but laugh, we kayak the same water! Poague Conservation Area is awesome!
Dustin Cooper That's awesome man! Maybe I'll see ya out there sometime. Not a lot of H12 kayaks out in them waters! Take it easy!
Great review man, thanks.
I just bought one as well.....its awesome.......... for fishing
I've been interested in the H12 since it came out and I've finally convinced myself I need it. I live on the Coal River in WV and my Emotion Wasatch canoe (kind of a hybrid) has served me well, but a year of hard use and multi-day camping trips on the Elk is starting to take it's toll on the cheaper plastic. Time for an upgrade.
I just can't see you being disappointed with the H12, you will definitely fall in love with it, she is a tough one!
shaitan274 cool! I kayak on the Elk too!
@yakkelberry does it come with the seat or is that a separate buy
You sold me ✌🏻
Well done.
Can you please show me your truck extender setup for your truck? I also have a short bed truck (Tacoma 5’ bed) and I’m looking at my options. Thank you and great video. Joe
Hey Joe, I wished I could, but it just so happens that my family is moving to another state. In preparations we have sold all the kayaks and even my truck! If that weren't the case, I'd be glad to help you out with that setup. Take it easy Joe!
This kayak looks more like a canoe! If the water splash gets in the floor, will it drains out or you have to scoop them out?
Striper Ross better get to scooping! Lol. Or use a sponge.
I was wondering what size paddle do you use with your h12?
Definitely shoot for a 250cm to a 260cm. The fact that the sidewalls are flat on top forces a person to paddle a bit wider, meaning a longer paddle is gonna give you less trouble. I believe the one I used was a 240cm, and it worked, but longer will be better! Take it easy!
I plan a review in the next weeks. I just picked up the H12 and find it "interesting". NO PADDLE HOLDER! What's with that? NO measuring tape to check fish size... what? This thing is heavy at 76lb, and harder than I'm use to to get it going. It's not a fast kayak by any means.stability is decent but not sure I'd stand in it - but you have seen many that, for some reason, want to stand in it. Turning is not easy, but OK. I am still setting mine up and have some decent ideas I think. I come from the Aquaglide Blackfoot, see youtube video, and inflatable hard bottom, fishing kayak, 12' long, but only weighs 37lb as I recall. I have had no issues with my paddle length, but clearly some have. Just another opinion. Oh, I'm 6'2" and 245lb, so this kayak fits me nice.
Awesome man, leave a link when you get the review up, it would be interesting to see!
I’m look at the ascend h12 and the pelican catch 120, first time kayaker. Any advice or pros that could help me decide.
Shane Mckinney yes, ascend is a much better built boat, the plastic is thicker and stronger. I would suggest not even considering the pican. Those two are far different in quality. :)
also pelicans are a two piece hull. Ascend is Solid mold
Does the gunnel stay above water when it fill with water ?
kambo209 I've never had it filled with water to test. It is on my list though
Come on man you killing me. Get busy edited the New River trip. LOL
Monkey N Around this video is an old one, and somehow I deleted it the other day, I'm just re-uploading it :)
YakkelBerry giving a hard time
Can you move faster in the H10 than the H12?
Michael Woodroffe Im assuming you meant the D10? If so, the D10 definitely moves faster. The H12 is the slowest yak that Ascend makes.
Okay thanks
Could I use the h12 in the ocean? Paddle around balboa jetty & channel could she take it?
Logan Thompson well if there isnt a bunch of water you could be alright. The H12 would be one of the last types of kayaks i would be willing to take on ocean area of large bodies of water because it is slow and doesnt perform well when getting pushed around. However i am sure someone out there has donr it and been just fine. Remember this thing has no floatation so when she fills up she fills ALL the way up :)
That's what I was afraid of . I'm looking for a first kayak for ocean & all round conditions if that's possible.lol.was all so looking at the h10 same issue do you think not sea worthy ? Maybe stick to my first choice was homie compass paddle drive nice but price was an issue . Thanks for a fast response bro. Tight lines.
Does this float if cap size?
I have to admit, I never capsized it. I don't know. I don't have the H12 anymore, I have the H10 and it has foam in the front and back that would keep it from sinking. They may be doing that with the H12's now.
@@yakkelberry214 I don't understand why you got rid of bigger boat?
I was wondering How I was seeing this Twice lol
David Elias ya that was the only downside to uploading it after I accidentally deleted it. it would show up again for everyone as new. since it has 6k views I figure it was helping folks so I'd put it back up :)
All Good I watch and Got me the H 12 a Cpl Months ago.. Great Vid Both Times :) You go on your Big Trip Yet?
Oh yes, that has come and gone, now I'm getting all the footage together to put out the video. In the meantime, you can check out the River Kings videos. He has put out about 3 of them so far, all about the trip! You will love 'em!
a reupload? lol
Adventures With A Cherokee lol yes it sure is...
