Topic: Kid kayak run Saturday Posted: 11 Aug 2011 at 10:33am
Would anyone be up for a kids kayak run down an easy class I / II stretch of the Skykomish on Saturday? My 7 year old son really wants to paddle his hardshell but I still have my daughter to tend to so I'll need to take the 2-man inflatable kayak with her. I could really use another (or more)hardshell boater along for safety.
Hey Courtney,
I'm planning on taking my 5-year-old daughter in a Dynamic Duo on Friday. We're going to do the South Fork to Boulder Drop. We might portage Boulder Drop and continue on down to Split Rock.
If I had someone to watch my daughter I might be up for that with my son but three of us won't fit in our 2-man inflatable and my son can't kayak that stretch in his hard shell yet. Any idea's?
lol! Beautifully stated. I concur with your daughter, Courtney. I'd like to read Christian's response; it could possibly relieve me of my fear when I am upside down and "un-side down" in a kayak. I AM a kid at heart ;)
Joining the take-your-kid-kayaking club! My 7-year old is clamoring for it, I want to take him out in an inflatable on some class II. Hardshell can wait in my opinion, too much to worry about with the wrong-side-up thing :) And talk about finding a sprayskirt that will fit such a skinny kid...

WeI bought the smallest spray skirt we could find for Andy, then I pulled it tight around him and stitched it up so that it fit him. When he grows I can cut the stitches out and make the tunnel bigger. Finding affordable splash tops and such when you know they are going to outgrow them in a year is much tougher.
