I just had my first kayak delivered to me. After alot of thought on what I plan to use a kayak for I actually purchased a 9.5 foot Malibu Stealth 9. It is very wide, stable, slower kayak from what I have read. At 42 pounds with a live well and aerator it seems exactly what I need it for. A floating barge station. I got a PDF and im purchasing a seat next. I have an ok paddle, going to get a new (used one).
My main question is, where do I go to test this bad boy out? I would like to just go out through the breakers today or try. but it is probably not a good idea for the maiden voyage and a newbie kayaker to just go out in open water. I would like to launch out into the bogue sound somewhere where I can throw a line in the water with some finger mullet or shrimp and catch something.
Any ideas where I can launch from?
