I am thinking that's a very good idea, but there are instances that there are lakes or ponds that won't allow any body contact on the water example is San Pablo reservoir, meaning they either have limited spot for kickboaters than kayakers, besides I've seen some descent price on yak like $250-400 depends on the quality, I think I'll keep my toon at the same time I'll buy yak too, also when is the clear lake open? I'm more likely to be there, see ya all in the water, Thanks again Lake your the man!
