  12. I keep mine upside down (i also read the manual) But i'm not aloud to bring it to bed with me, wife get's ever so jea lous
  13. You are right about the stand ,found mine half way up the beach when i finished playing
  14. I have got a c-tug , used it for the first time yesterday with my big game ,cant falt it ,the strap stayed nice and tight and it was ok over pebbles and soft sand (yak was empty) The one i have is orange , is there any difference between that and the green???(except my strap works)
  15. Hi all, tryed out my new toy today . Prowler Big Game, launched from Angle Bay , quite strong onshore wind with tide going out, which made it a bit choppy. Managed to get out no problem, if i stopped paddleing wind would start to turn yak Only went out about 300meters, started to get a bit more dodgy and being my first ever trip wanted to come home alive . Also didn't have paddle leash ,did have PFD, sorry i can't show photos forgot camera, plus her indoors was trying to get sprogs off the rocks. Can't compare with anything else cos this is my 1st yak. Found the ride quite dry ,most water being blown over the bow and now and again on me. Not ideal conditions,then i gave number 1 son a ride, he sat where the ff could be mounted, went out about 30meters so i could still touch bottom if the worst happened ,he was wearing a proper life jacket, yak was still ok felt very stable and very fast going to shore with the wind. Only had about a desertspoon of water in hull ,reason i think is front hatch is a bit of a crap fit even with it lashed down tight , if the top of the hatch touched the rubber insert around the opening problem solved. I will stick some rubber around the inside of the cover,take note OK Any road up ,i will be having getting my hours in as it were before venturing out any distance . Will keep you posted with pic's next time Spyro..
