All the kayaking options
San Diego fishing meetup this Sunday at 7 am
So many questions: launch, boat traffic, what to do after falling off the kayak, how to deal with surf.
If you’ve ever looked out on the water at all the people on kayaks and wondered, “that looks like fun, but it is such an investment,” you aren’t alone. Like surfing, until one tries to get up on a wave, one will never know the feeling and balance of the thing. Like surfing, there are those willing to help shorten the learning curve before one makes the investment, and there is the gear. A search at Nautic Expo online shows 409 different sit-on-top kayaks produced by 60 companies.
Once you’ve decided on a model, there are logistics: where to launch, how to deal with boat traffic, what to do in emergencies like falling off the kayak or dealing with surf, so private or group instruction is a good idea. Here in San Diego, there are several kayaking Meetup.com groups, but many require you to have or rent your own kayak. Another option is to go on an outing with a guide; most of those outfits provide all the gear. You’ll be using what they have, so it is more useful as a way to get used to paddling, but not so much for trying different models. Stores like OEX, Aqua Adventures, and Fastlane are located near the water and offer rentals and demos.
The San Diego Kayaking Meetup Group holds Thursday Night Social Paddles weekly from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. They have kayaks and gear for rent at $15 from Aqua Adventures and usually launch and land near the store in Quivira Basin. San Diego Kayak Fishing Meetup requires that you have your own kayak and gear, but as they launch next to Dana Landing and Fastlane kayak Center, all can be rented. Their next planned outing is this Sunday at 7 am.
About 20 outfits from Coronado to La Jolla offer daily tours or rentals
