    Good video, very enjoyable! I am tempted by a kayak-boat, good to see how it performs, thanks 👍

      It's certainly an interesting bit of kit. Chris set his camera to time lapse this time round because he's useless so hopefully in future videos he'll be able to give a bit more of an opinion!

    The camera never does justice to the size of waves 👍

      Absolutely not. It was 6ft surf report that day. Not quite that big in the channel but still pretty dicey!

      It's always surprising how capable they are. Im sure at some point it will go wrong, but we'll keep pushing our luck until then!

      Suggest a drysuit. If it does flip, they're easy to flip back, just make sure everything is tied down. You'll be right. Always go with two motors, even if that's just another boat.

    What engines are you both running?

    • @DevonFloaters
      @DevonFloaters  Рік тому +1

      Sam has an old 2 stroke johnson 15hp on the excel, Chris was using a 9.9 yamaha 2 stroke here, but he's recently upgraded to a spanking new tohatsu 6hp.
