Ocean Kayak Malibu Two XL Tandem Kayak

At close to 13&half feet in length and 34" beam, this is a large kayak. It is a super stable boat, it rides on waves with great ease. You stand on one edge rocking and managing to make it to turn over and it won't ! It is spacious enough to easily holds two big adults. I took it to the ocean, backcountry lakes and rivers, it never let me down. A great boat !

I use this model when I'm fishing in Kona, Hawaii. You just can't go wrong with this model. Ample inner storage once you get some hatches installed and the top deck can accommodate just about any deck layout you want to customize. I have two flush mount rod holders behind the rear seat and a scotty rod holder in front of the forward seat. The fish bag cooler sit inside the hull underneath the center hatch and holds the drinks and food when not holding fish. I also use this solo. I've added extra nylon padeyes so I can hook up the kayak seat in the middle and then setup a milkcrate with rod holders where the rear seating area is. She paddles great on the flat Kona waters and can take the wake of passing charters with ease (although they are supposed to slow down when passing not motorized vessels). Surf launches and landings have been no problem, as long as you know what you are doing. This is just a great kayak whether loaded up to fish or bare bones to just cruise around and take in the scenery with a partner.

This Kayak is the bomb. Fits two adults and two smaller children in laps just fine! Make sure you get a bright color or you become invisible to the crazy boaters. Been trying to find someone to take out with a kite surfing kite but no loons have volunteered yet. This kayak can take a beating. There are some drawbacks but nothing you do not get in any other SOT kayak. This puppy is a bit awkward to load yourself but you can do it. Get the Malone racks or Thule J racks and you will not have any issues. A smaller sea anchor is handy to keep you from getting blown to far if you just want to sit. Oh dont get the scupper plugs from Ocean Kayak they "melt" if the get too hot in the sun. just use chair caps the kind on folding chairs to plug the holes or a closed cell foam.
