I picked up a new “Ride 115” from Appomattox River Company the other day, and headed over to YakAttack's shop to do a little rigging. I was really looking forward to tossing ideas back and forth with Luther; when you get two gear heads together, you never know what you will come up with. Since I mostly fish rivers, I didn't want to do a bunch of rigging just for the sake of rigging. The last thing I need is a bunch of unnecessary stuff on my kayak.
I was lucky enough to be able to purchase a new Ride 115 within the first couple weeks of it’s initial release. Since then I’ve put the boat through it’s paces on rivers large and small while guiding professionally and fishing for fun. Let’s just say I’ve got a LOT of seat time in this boat. It has quickly become by river chariot of choice on most of my kayak fishing excursions. This kayak offers great fishability and paddling performance as a result of a well thought out design.
