A pair of breathable waders combined with a breathable dry top forms a very versatile system that works extremely well for a wide range of conditions. When worn properly waders will actually trap air and act as additional flotation. The other nice thing about waders is that the kayak fisherman often uses the kayak as transportation to go wade fishing. Waders are designed for use while wading and all other forms of clothing don’t do this job as well while keeping you dry.

There are several places in the islands where you can swim with the turtles. Everyone seems to have their favorite spot. You can see them when you go diving in Hawaii, but you don’t need to be a diver to swim with the turtles, snorkeling will get the job done. And for the water timid, you can even do it in water shallow enough to stand up in. Bu you will need to get wet and you really need a mask to be able to see them well.
What else should you look for in a board? Well, you want something that you can ride straight away. Avoid open dings (damage on the surface of the board). These make your ride leak, adding weight, and damage the foam inside. You’ll also have to shell out on repairs, which can quickly add up if your board is fairly ‘dinged up’. You’ll spot these simply by glancing over the deck and rails, but a good tip is to lift the board up somewhere quiet and give it a shake. If you can hear water in there, give it a miss. And don’t get sidetracked by stickers. You may, at first, think that that big Quiksilver decal looks awesome, but you won’t be so loved up when it peels off, revealing a gaping hole. Treat stickers with caution, they’re a best friend for someone trying to hide damage.
What type of wetsuit should you get? You want to get a triathlon or swim specific wetsuit. These suits are designed to swim in. Swim specific wetsuits are made to fit tight and are more flexible in areas allowing for more shoulder and body rotation.
Strip and Glue Method – This method is more suitable for advanced users. There are several differences between surf canoe kits that use a strip and glue method from those that use a wood strip epoxy method. They are generally more expensive because of high material costs. They may also cause you an extra day or so to complete the project and also produce heavier canoes because they use cedar strips instead of plywood. If you plan to complete the project at home, you should know that strip and glue surf canoe kits also generate more dust – a fact that might not make your other half exactly happy.
