Kayak Fishing Magazine April Issue - Panama

It felt like an adventure before we even got out of the airport. I knew we were in a very different place for sure. First, there was the solid wall of heat and humidity when we exited the Boeing 757. Next was dealing with a dour old lady at immigration, followed closely by a flirtatious 20-something at customs. Hennie Marais, our host and the proprietor of Paddle Panama was right on time and whisked us to our transport. Hennie had already positioned supplies and gear in Santa Catalina, a four-hour drive. Four beautiful Stealth Kayaks from South Africa and two Ocean Kayak Trident 13's shipped in country by the folks at Ocean Kayak for this trip.
