Review Detail

I am relatively new at Kayaking but not fishing, now add Kayaking and fishing together and that makes for an interesting but wonderful combo.

My first kayak was a Cobra Explorer I loved it at the time but I found it to be a little easy to tip, though I never did, I found myself almost going in 2 times on my first trip out. Soon after that I borrowed a buddies Tarpon 140, and also found this to be a little wet in the seat and also tippy. A friend of mine, which I'm sure many of you may have heard of, Jim Sammons, was telling me to get an Ocean Kayak. Here is a guy who has been doing this for many years, knows what he is talking about, and helped design these Kayaks, so I listened. In fact I bought one of his Ocean Kayak Prowler 15 Kayaks. Not much different from the trident.

I love this Kayak, it paddles fast, straight(no rudder), and when paddling out through the surf it cuts through the breakers. When Landing from the surf, as long as you are doing what you should be, the Kayak does what it is suppose to do.

I have heard a lot of people moving to the peddle style kayaks, and that's fine, but I'd rather have that storage space than have peddles in my way. I love my Prowler 15 and highly recommend the 15 or 13 to others.
