Bonafide PWR 129 Kayak Review

I recently got my hands on the Bonafide PWR 129 kayak, and let me tell you, this boat is a game-changer. For those who don't know, Bonafide has been a big player in the kayak fishing world, and they've outdone themselves with this model.

Best Kayaks for Rivers

Kayaking rivers presents unique challenges and hazards. Kayakers will need skills and knowledge they may not need on a calm body of water. Kayaking anything from light current to whitewater rapids, while also keeping an eye out for fallen trees, nefarious rocks, and dams is challenging.

Canoe Paddle: Bent Shaft Canoe Paddle vs Straight Shaft

Canoe paddles come in a variety of shapes and sizes because there's no such thing as "one size fits all." Choosing the right length is fairly straightforward, since this is determined by a simple measurement, but deciding between a straight shaft canoe paddle and one with a bent shaft, is a different story.
