I have a Beach LT. It's pretty nice. I didn't go with the Sport because 1) Black, and 2) I was not convinced that paddling was possible with anything of significance attached to the rails. I do wish the Beach LT had deck lines or bungies, though.
@@smkauthor To me it looks like stuff on the rails might get in the way of paddling strokes, and I couldn't find any video of someone actually paddling one with stuff on the rails. I might be wrong.
Yeah I wonder about that too. I think they are selling that feature for fishing kayakers for a rod holder. I guess it would work for that, but I don't fish.
@@smkauthor I was looking at it because I thought I might want to try fishing, and attaching a cup holder or camera mount would be nice, but yeah, see above concerns.
Another great video. Really tempting me to see if I can get the Beach LT in the UK (for a decent price!) For someone who is out in nature a lot, you certainly get freaked out a lot by the little critters 😁
Hi Steph.Good vid. I really like the idea of a folding kayak, don't know if I could pull the trigger on one. Do you have any experience with inflatables? Not sure how they would stand up down here.
I do. I made a video a comparing my inflatable to my oru: th-cam.com/video/VeGwyRsDnUo/w-d-xo.html. I also just tried out a new inflatable: th-cam.com/video/F8dXBkHfv1U/w-d-xo.html

You don't like the placement of the rails or you don't think it's strong enough to hold something secure?

Standing up successful
With a good long paddle you could have a bit of fun
Great video, Steph! My wife just got an Inlet Sport and it's awesome. I've got the Lake Sport so now we are kayaking together!
That's great!

I love to be in nature, but I don't love nature in my boat! 😬😆

@@smkauthor thanks, will watch.
Ok im impressed with your balancing skills
Now i have to stand up in my Beach ST
lol let me know how it goes!
Shots from the selfie stick look great! Was it uncomfortable?
Thanks! No, it was barely noticeable and way easier to deal with than launching a drone.
Yes good sudo-drone stick idea. Hey. Get them to send you the 2-person Haven.
Thanks! Yes, would love to try that model!
Can you try this on the ocean? Like the ocean on your bay kayak trip. I’d love to see it in some small amounts of choppy water
This is only designed for calm water so I will not be testing it in the ocean.
