It was the discovery of a kayak (and beach toy) rental place within a half mile of the beach house that is going to make this weeks four or five boats much easier to come by. If you read my last post you'd know that finding such a close supply of boats is going to save a lot of hastles.
The boat of the day today was the Malibu II tandem SOT from Ocean Kayak. I was pleased to learn that a 24 hour rental would cost only $50 but would include two not-so-great paddles, two all but useless PFD's, and seat backs would cost extra. I'm not sure the renters at Aqua Adventures appreciate us quite enough.
We took the boat straight out to the surf to give Jen's cousin's kids rides on the waves. The Malibu handled great in the small surf, handling easily enough to allow me to hold the line while surfing and had enough speed to punch out without too much trouble. Jen's young cousins caught on quick and I had them edging into the waves to handle getting broached and standing in the front seat to really "surf" in on the waves.
