NIFTY NOTEABLES VOL.07 Sundulphin Aruba 10 reviews

           Welcome to this addition of
NIFTY NOTEABLES  
on myyack2@blogspot.com.
Vol. 7


Today's  NIFTY NOTEABLES is my personal review of my Kayak. If you have been following along with my blog, you have heard and probably seen, my kayak the Sundulphin Aruba 10.  So for my NIFTY NOTEABLES today I thought I would tell you my thoughts on my Kayak.



The Sun Dolphin Aruba 10 in my opinion is a perfect starter kayak. It is 10 foot long sit in kayak and only weights 40 pounds. It's rugged, light weight, and durable enough to go almost anywhere.

It may not be the cheapest kayak on the market, but usually selling for around 200 dollars,  it is a great full size, fully functional, kayak in its price range.

The Sun Dolphin Aruba 10 comes with many great features.  Features such as,  built in dry compartment, water bottle holder, roomy cockpit, and protective thigh pads.

I have been using my Sun Dolphin Aruba 10 for fishing for one complete summer now and I love it. I have had it on three different lakes, and in many different weather conditions. Every time I took it out on a lake it did not disappoint.

It's a very steady water craft.  I have not tipped my kayak yet, although I know I will some day.

Negatives about Sundulphin Aruba 10, the dry well is a bit small, I suppose it the typical, always need just a little more space then I have scenario. ALTHOUGH, I HAVE NEVER HAD A LEAKAGE ISSUE.

Secondly, I think it would be nice if it had a flat surface at the front or in the back so you could bungee down a tackle box or cooler or something.


In short,  not only would I give the Sun Dolphin Aruba 10---10 out 10 for a score. I would also give it 4 S's   The S's are for it's Sturdiness, Steadiness Smooth sailing, and the last S is for the Savings. So if you are looking for a starter kayak,  Sun Dolphin Aruba 10 is a great starter sit-in kayak.

NIFTY NOTEABLES

 Being a kayak enthusiast, I often run across cool and interesting things for kayaks, kayaking, and fishing.  My dilemma is most of what I find is interesting and note worthy but not enough write a complete article about. So I decided the best share this information is in a section I am going to call NIFTY NOTEABLES.

This will be the title until I can come up with.a better one anyhow.  If anyone can help me come with a better name. I am all ears. You can drop me an email @ myyack2@gmail.com or in the comment section below.

First Noteable :

I found this kayak cart on Instructables.com I am still looking for my perfect portable kayak cart, this one is probably to big for what I had in mind.  But at one point b I was considering I design very similar to this that I had come up with on my own who knew someone would talk with one like it.  
Here is a link to the instructions on Instructables.com

Second Noteable :



This Instructable is titled , How to make great fish bait, But I would actually consider this a fishing lure.  Either way, it looks easy enough to make. It might be worth a try. The link is below.

Third Noteable :


An interesting twist on a waterproof container.  This one is made from a Tupperware container but I bet there's other waterproof storage containers that could be used in the same way.  Instructions for this Instructable found at:
