Kayaker and fly fisher and all around techy guy Eugene Graham just sent me an email about this new versatile kayak.

Pretty darn clever !!

I like the sissy bar on there , nice way to avoid a faceplant . While I think it's a much better design (as far as that pesky standing-up issue) , there's still no one to steer/hold it in place .

Unless you do what Hairstacker does - pull up on a weedbed :idea:

This kayak does include an Front Anchor Boom to help you stay in place.

While standing this kayak includes a push rod and storage for it.

That Kayak looks pretty cool, nice and stable for standing up and fly fishing.

What happened to the guy in the second kayak? Was he standing too? :lol: Ed

That's a sweet Yak, very inventive. :thumbsup: 8) But for the price, weight and length of it, there is a certain someone with a little black Pram that has it beat. :mrgreen:

Hey guys, I've yet to get the freedom hawk on the water. One was brought my house for me to check out. They are well made. Actually it's the best version of a yak with expandable
pontoons I've seen. They come with a comfortable seat. The one thing they have that I just love is a slot in the cockpit for a push pole. I love poling crafts as much as I DO PADDLING THEM. I'm going to be a Featured speaker at the fly-fishing Show in Pleasaton. I should have one there. As soon as I get I'll let you know more.

wow. that's a cool idea!! A bit pricey but cutting adge R+D always come with a price tag.
I wonder if it'll fit in the garage with all my other fishing crap?

I love my Native Ultimate 12.

I have never fallen out of it standing.
