What’s in this video

This short slideshow shows how I got started. My first kayak was an Old Town Vapor 10 and my second was an Old Town Twin Otter, a 14 foot tandem. These two made me fall in love with kayaking and DIY.

I really miss the Vapor 10. That little 10 foot sit in was a fishing machine. The Twin Otter was not fun to paddle solo, even with the sliding seats. Its flat hull did not paddle as well as the Vapor.

Quick takeaways

  • The Old Town Vapor 10 is a small sit in that fishes well.
  • The Twin Otter tandem's flat hull did not paddle well solo, even with sliding seats.
