Maiden voyage

I picked up my new kayak today and took it for its first ride.

It was a beautiful sunny day and I could hardly wait for the shop to open, so I could pick it up and get it on the water.

I did the initial assembly at home in my living room and it was neither easy, fast or elegant.
The battle went on for between 1.5-2 hours before I had the final result, a beautiful black kayak.

I then went to the beach and did the assembly once again, this time it only took 35 minutes plus 10 minutes for changing clothes and packing the kayak.

I paddled around for 1,5 hours and I can only say that I am very pleased with it.
There are minor details that could be improved by Feathercraft though, one of them are the footrest that has to be adjusted to the right position on each assembly.

All in all I enjoyed getting back on the water and are looking forward to the many hours I will be spending in this kayak.

The disassembly took almost as long as the assembly, 35 minutes including changing clothes.

Unfortunately I didnt bring the camera, so I did not get any pictures on the water. I did however get a picture of my dog, testing the sea sock.
