This was a lot of help. Thanks for posting. I love you pup, it's prolly watching you guys from pups heaven.
The way you made this video feels so appropriate for us regular folks. Most reviews feel way too professional not covering many everyday details like little technical struggles. Feels honest and natural. Thank you. (And sorry for nubu)
Thank you. We appreciate the positive feedback.
Thanks for the info! Sorry to hear about Nubu’s passing 💔 S/he obviously was very happy & well-loved.
Thank you so much. She was a special member of our family. 🐶 💕 🌈
Such a sweet pup.
Just ordered the beach LT, sorry about the passing of Nobu, looks like he had an amazing life. Very nicely put together video. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼.
I hope you get a lot of use out of it and enjoy it. Be patient with the set up the first time you assemble it. Thank you for the condolences. She was a great dog.
Awwwww.....puppy 🐶! Like your review. I'm sold 👍
Thanks from Bellingham Washington. thinking of buying and reviews are helpful
Bham is goated. Especially chuckanut drive
hey same 😎
I'm considering a personal boat of some sort for photography purposes (better views from the water than the shore sometimes!) The water I'd be on would generally be Ohio State Park lakes (reservoirs) that also have motor boat traffic. Have you had any issues with motorized watercraft and their wakes?
Yes, I’ve found steering into the wakes is helpful, they will move the Kayak around. We regularly are taking photos and videos on calm water and find you have to maneuver into the right shot and then adjust as the boat floats in another direction. There might be better models to handle that.
Which one will you recommend for fishing in calm waters like lakes and slow rivers? One that has enough room for fishing gears
We can’t speak to the others but this one is great for calm waters. I was surprised by how stable it is. There’s quite a bit of room in it.
The Beach, has lots of room. Be aware however because I never hear anyone mentioning this that if you fall out you WILL NOT be able to get back in and will have to swim to shore. I don't know why nobody mentions this. The Kayak will capsize if you try to reenter it from the water. Big drawback in my opinion. So if you plan on swimming while Kayaking you will have to go to shore and swim off the shore. Since I live in Florida and kayak in the rivers and springs this is a problem because you can't always swim from the shoreline because of alligators. Overall I'm very disappointed about that. If you are someone that doesn't plan to leave the kayak during the trip except when you reach shore it's probably a great option.
@@nonyabusiness2510 once it warmed up I will have to try. I think I will be able to get in but I am 155 and very athletic. Might have to go underwater and dolphin up into it. One option I thought of that could help is having some sort of float to assist getting in.
These are made of yard sign corregated material. I recall plans for this in public domain about 20 years ago and Red Bull competitions...likely this company is a result of that in a cottage startup.
They fold neatly, and at 20lbs are very light. However I doubt they would handle sharp underwater tree strikes or rocks in the shallows well.
About $900 or so...they seem a bit steep. There is a competitor made of rotoplastic (like thick trash cans) that weighs about 28lbs. I've seen them too. They look a bit more forgiving of rocks and branches or swifter water. I think they're about $350.
If one lives in an apartment then I can see a folding kayak. Otherwise a good kevlar fiberglass kayak is going to perform better for similar price.
@@geodude6244you need a couple of floats for safety and a bucket. I have an oru lake that i tipped myself over to test reentry. Had to bail a lot of water and took 15 exhausting minutes to get back in.
my biggest concerns about these are the scratchs that it takes on. Feel like they would eventually get through the first layer of the skin
Talking to people that jave had these long-term. The scratches don't matter. They will not perforate unless you are really running tese ever sharp river rocks.
I came here to see your one-year review of the Oru Beach LT Kayaks but found a lot of other things that were also of interest to me as well. Before I ask about those, however, I wanted to send my condolences on the loss of your sweet little Nobu. She was such a good girl in your kayaking clips, and I have four littles her size that would be devastating to lose. My heart goes out to you.
That said, the little scooter your husband is sitting on at 12:22 is one of the items I was curious about. I don't suppose I could ask you 1) What is the name of it, 2) Would you recommend it, and 3) Do you happen to know the weight capacity for it?
Thank you so much for the 💕 for Nubu.
Our scooters are from a company here in Calgary www.north49brands.com. These are the 800w version, we had them also add the seats for us. They are rated for up to 330 pounds. The specs for each scooter is listed on the website.
@@mysticturtle8304 thank you so much for your reply and helpful information.
wow that's 🤯
Did you find it hard to get out of the Kayak?
It’s not as bad as we thought it would be. We still have to work on looking graceful while doing it. If you can cross your paddle and then press down and lift yourself up it’s much easier.
if you take them in a camper with a topper, why not just store two real kayaks on top of your camper?
I'm sure it's no fun during misquote hour.
