Gosea angler sport demo.

[BUDDY]

Hi all.
Gary T made an enquiry about the angler sport so we offered a demo paddle. The offer was taken so here goes.
Garys last kayak was a perception scooter so we took the fatyak as a similar comparison.
Gary had not paddled for 2 years so the canal was the prefered venue.

Garys first impression was it felt tippy, this is normal with a new kayak after so long.


Stayed close to the side for the first few minutes but confidence grew quickly.




Terry giving a few pointers.


Confidence gained and off we go.


After an hour or so, i took the Gosea to try some re entrys.
I found it quite quick, very stable and the tracking was superb even without the rudder.
The Gosea paddle is a very good match with the kayak, it performed well.

And i fell in Only to demonstrate a re entry.









I found the Gosea very easy to re enter.
A good afternoon to be out and we beat the rain even if one of us did get wet ;D
Terry will be adding more pictures and no doubt Gary will be putting a few words up.
Steve.

Thanks to Terry and Steve for a great day. I learned so much in a short period of time about paddling , safety , kayak design etc. Their willingness to pass on their knowledge and experience is second to none . Thanks again guys for all your help and be so friendly. defo see you on the water again. Gary

we had a smashing couple of hours swapping kayaks at regular intervals just to feel the difference between them Gary soon got back in to the swing of paddling and after the first 15 mins was right at home on the water a nice day with great company what more could anybody want .
well just to add a few pictures

Terry only does wet by accident
But you know me, i quite enjoy messing about if someone is learning. Water wasnt as cold as i expected and it was my suggestion.
