DGW Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 My Shad was launched on Lake Illawarra about six weeks ago. Lake Illawarra is a large lake that can become quite bumpy but I managed to launch on a day when the water was like glass. It was tippy when I first got in (bum first entry) but I find it quite stable when I am under way. I have had the Shad out a few times now and have tried it in small surf near where the lake enters the ocean - it tracks well and catches and rides waves very nicely. I think my next build will be the Short Shot - any thoughts? Cheers, Denis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
even-keeled Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Great looking kayak. No crocodiles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGW Posted May 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 No crocs even-keeled - we are too far south. But we have plenty of wallabies and kangaroos and snakes - they all swim very well.
