Profile

After diligent research, including here, I started kayaking at 67 on Sep. 5, 2015 and purchased the Pungo 120 on the 7th. In four weeks have been on 20 outings and more than 75 miles. On Kansas lakes, have experienced 30 mph winds and 3' waves on two occasions without difficulty. My average speed cruising is 4 mph and have achieved 7.4 (faster downwind in 30 mph winds)

The 120 loves going into the wind and waves and rides well with waves and wind to stern or broadside. Great boat for me. Will get a 140 in the spring. It will accommodate my disability and size from military service a little better. Will keep the 120 for my aerobic and anaerobic workouts. Have lost 20 pounds and BP is fantastic.
