Yes, but only in the rivers and estuaries (which I completely avoid). The risk out in the ocean proper like where I was on this trip is as good as zero
I current paddle a Mirage 582 IRT. I'm interested in looking a t The Audax as a replacement. You don't know of anyone that has moved between these two kayaks and could give an unbiased opinion?
@SteveHobbs6, my previous kayak was a 582. I wrote a review of the Audax a few years ago that you can now find linked at the bottom of the Audax page on Expedition Kayak's website or here: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/qes7lv69wudx21y7z6u2z/Review.-Expedition-Kayaks-Audax-Sea-Kayak.pdf?rlkey=0p7ld1axnmq168q9cc8ayfhd0&e=1&dl=0
@@tltownsville thanks, I’ll have a look… I’m pretty comfortable in the 582, had a 580 before that. The Audax is a little narrower and I use my kayak for photos so want the primary stability to be reasonable…. However I am moving to a location where there will be quite a lot of downwind runners and thought the Audax would be a fun kayak to paddle in. Not that the mirage is bad in that sea state.
Awesome Trip. Congratulations 🎉.
Great work T! Super envious. Well prepared aa always.
Brilliant...!
