I thought I had found my yak when I purchase a NDK Explorer. It was my go to boat for long paddles on the Anacostia River and around Kent Island. For my birthday I attended Brian's kayak build class at the Delmarva Greenland Paddling Fest and built a Cape Falcon F1 under his expert guidance. It proved to be a great kayak. Before I moved back to California, I sold the NDK to a willing buyer, and put the F1 on the Hullivator for the long drive across the country.
The Cape Falcon F1 has proven it worth on surf zone entries and landings in the Monterey Bay, choppy paddles on Elkhorn Slough, and long paddles in San Francisco Bay. I haven't looked at another kayak since I found how adaptable I have become on different waters with the F1. I don't miss the cold winters, basement storage, and heavy kayaks of the Mid-Atlantic.
