Fujifilm FinePix Z33 Waterproof Digital Camera– My New Toy
I bought a new camera. After ruining my last two while kayaking (one dropped in the water and the other dropped on the rocks) I decided that I would get myself a waterproof camera this time. Waterproof cameras are known not to provide as good a picture as a decent regular digital camera so I decided that I didn’t’ want to spend a huge amount of money on it. I figured that I would use it strictly for kayaking and... (Continue reading...)
Brunton ADC Summit Weather Predictor
After just writing my post about tricks to read the weather I realized that I will never be one of those fabulous outdoor people who know how to predict every weather change and water speeds. I am typically fairly comfortable with just going by the plain old weather report but that is mostly because my kayaking trips tend to be one day excursions. However what about those adventurous people who do several day treks? I... (Continue reading...)
NRS Kayak Hanger
A kayak hanger is a neat idea. I don’t use one myself as I usually just store my inflatable kayak away in its bag. However I think if you have the space this kayak hanger would actually be really handy. Below are two reasons that even for an inflatable kayak this kayak hanger could be put to good use. You could use it to dry your inflatable kayak out. You want to make sure your inflatable is completely dry before you... (Continue reading...)
NRS Kayak Tow Line
I had never thought about bringing a kayak tow line with me on a kayaking trip before until I actually came across one and realized how handy it would be to have along for the ride. It doesn’t appeal to me to have to tow somebody as I would imagine it would take a fair amount of physical effort on my part. However if someone needed the help it would be nice to have the right equipment with me to be able to help them. ... (Continue reading...)

NRS Deluxe Boat Sponge
I don’t know of anyone who kayaks who hasn’t had to deal with excess water in the boat. I know for myself even with a spray skirt on water still seems to manage to collect within my kayak… and sand as well! This NRS deluxe boat sponge is a fantastic accessory for any person who kayaks. It is really neat in that it will soak up sand and moisture that gathers at the bottom of your boat or on your seat. If you have... (Continue reading...)
Bravo 2 Foot Pump
If you own an inflatable kayak or are thinking of purchasing one, you will need a good pump. There are a few options for inflatable kayak pumps. You could use a hand pump, a foot pump or an electric pump. A hand pump tends to put a lot of strain on the back as you have to be bent over while you are pumping your kayak. It is hard work and I’m not particularly fond of them. An electric pump can be great but they... (Continue reading...)
