RE: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Inflatable Paddle Board or Inflatable Kayak?

The inflatables are surprisingly stable, and much lighter if you want to portage or hop over an embankment into the next pond or stream. I prefer to cut down the skegs so I can get into skinny water, but I'll bet Richard offers something that already has that capability. For drifting down a big river I still prefer my bomber old versaboard with the retractable skeg because it is nearly indestructible…but thing is heavy. By the way if anybody wants to buy a seat for a versaboard I have a like-new one sitting around. I just use a cooler to sit on instead, but it's great to have a comfy seat if you ever want to paddle it kayak-style. It flips out of the way as needed.

Thanks for the info and keeping the discussion going. What intrigues me about the inflatable boards is the ability to use in DC in the Summer, and keep at my in-laws in Florida through the Winter and Spring.

 

I've been on paddleboards a few times, but only the rigid type and not ones designed for fishing--these boards seemed stable but maybe not quite fishing all day in the Everglades stable.

 

Richie, keep us posted if you do a demo day--I'm sure a ton of TPFR folks would like to see and experience the Botes.
