Hey 👋 Joe - Thanks for watching and commenting! You’ll have a lot of fun exploring all our lakes and rivers in north Texas, there are a lot of places to paddle, enjoy!!!
I would think the fishing is pretty good. I saw several people fishing out of their boats and several people fishing off of their docks. I did not do any fishing myself. Thanks for watching and commenting and safe adventuring out there!
I very much appreciate your videos. It is clear you have excellent video production and editing skills. At 70 years old recently retired I decided to fulfill a dream of a great many years and have purchases a kayak. I began looking at hard shell kayaks but realized I did not have a way to store or transport a hard shell. I began to research inflatables and your videos along with other sites introduced me to Sea Eagle. I now own, but have not yet used due to the winter here in the Northeast, at Fast Track 385. I was very interested in the Razor but decided I should start out on a more stable platform. One of the things I want to do with my kayak is nature and landscape photography and while I do not mind tipping over, I do not want to do so with 3K of camera gear in hand. Some reviewers I have read say the Razor is “tippy” and not for beginners. Your thoughts? I hope to get out on the water by May. Although the Fast Track is very stable, I still wonder if I should practice self-recovery. Is that necessary on the Fast Track? Or the razor. there is a county park near me with an enclosed lake and they even encourage kayakers to come and practice . Would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks
Hi 👋 there! Thank you for watching and commenting. The tippiness in the RazorLite is not any different than what you would experience in hard shell 24’’ - 28’’ wide touring kayaks. Doesn’t take long to get used to, but for those unaccustomed to the feel, they could find it objectionable. But, again, after a day out paddling, you become very used to it. TOTALLY understand about the camera gear though. The FastTrack is probably the best option for you. As far as practicing wet entries from a swimming position, it’s always best to prepare for the worst. While it is extremely unlikely that you would ever come close to tipping the FastTrack, maybe you practice on a nice warm summer day with your swim trunks on 👍. That’s what I like to do! Take care and safe adventuring out there!
Cool video Cliff! I just bought my self a Sea Eagle Explorer 380x pro and almost bought the razor but i like to bring my grand-children for little Kayak ride and also 2-3 days Kayaking Camping with all my gear the explorer can take 750 pounds! I was wondering have you ever try the 380x or did a video on it could not find any and what are your view on it! Continue your great work and long live Sea Eagle!
Hey, thank you for watching and commenting! Here are the three videos that I have on the explorer 380 X.

Great video! I ordered this boat and should be arriving this month! Quick question, how did you mount your front camera?? This kayak has a very plain design (which I love) however, seems like there are minimal opportunities to customize.
Hey Kevin, thank you so much for watching and commenting! Here is a video on how I’m out into the kayaks. Fishing Rod and Camera Mounts for Inflatable Kayaks & Paddleboards ruclips.net/video/BtMNh1pqhOM/видео.html
The exotic bugs, the friendly water reptiles, artistic random floating garbage, and a small town with a lot of cops. Come on down y'all! Everything is just slightly more expensive than average, the local medical facilities might be able to help in time, the locals might be qualified as alcoholics but they're friendly and mostly poor
Been on the Rainbow River before but not the Withlacoochee. Kayak Cliff, Would the razor lite 393 handle class 2 rapids? I know that Explorer is more for whitewater but I’m looking for a inflatable kayak that tracks well and is easy to maneuver like my Jackson Journey 14 kayak. Thanks
Hi 👋 there, thank you for watching, and commenting! Before my razorlight, I had to Jackson journey 14s. Loved them! Just wanted to get away from big, one piece kayaks that are difficult to store and transport. With the RazorLite, I can keep up with a Jackson journey 14 with no problems at all. One of my friends still has one and we paddle together all the time. Razor lights are rated for a class one to class to Rapids. I have only had mine loaded down with camping gear on a heavy class one rapid. Maybe it was a light class two. It handled fine, but it takes an experienced paddler to do it, which you are. Just be ready for the possibility of going over and make sure all of your gear is stowed away in float bags. The Razorlight is a great kayak and it’s one of my major go to’s. You can do a lot of things on it, if you get into consistently big whitewater, you’ll need to be in the explorer. I hope this helps!

Hi there, Jeff, Yes, there are alligators, but I did not see any. When I did the rainbow river the next day, I saw a good size alligator, sunning himself. Honestly, they really don’t pay you any attention at all. I have never had any problem with them at all. I guess me, paddling in an inflatable kayak is a testament to my faith, that if I leave them alone, they will leave me alone 😬😯. Thank you so much for watching and commenting and safe adventuring out there!
Thank you for watching and commenting, Cheryl! In this video, I was using the GoPro hero 11. Every year I typically upgrade to the newest GoPro, and really love the quality that they provide. Take care!

Hi there Paul, hope you are having a great weekend! I do prefer the RazorLite for most of my paddling. I like it because of his high performance characteristics. I can paddle all day and cover great distances in the RazorLite.

A tale of two Rivers … Right off the Manor Ridge trailhead on the withlacoochie trail is a quick hike down to the south fork of the river it’s just a small creek there but it’s interesting.. it’s part of the Florida Trail
Hi 👋 I have not in the past, but I have it on my bucket list to go down to the peace river in Florida and the Venice area to look for sharks teeth. Would love to find a megalodon tooth. I hear they are definitely down there. As for arrowheads and such, I believe that is illegal in Florida and other places too….
Another great video Cliff and appreciate your equipment recommendations! Moved down to Dunedin (near the Causeway) this past year. Heading out to Weedon Island on Sunday, so I rewatched your video. Will need to kayak to Caladisi Island next and will be sure to watch your video again as prep. :-)
Very peaceful float. Between the the sound of paddling and your voice I felt like dosing off. Florida really has some great places to kayak. Thanks Cliff!
Another nice video! Need your help. I bought that rebel battery, the smaller 640 or 50 aH. I received it, no instructions. How do I charge it? I have notes into support and nothing. This is my first lithium battery and I want to do this right.
Hi Todd - I purchased the smart charger that Rebel sells and it works great, otherwise, I plug it into my Sea Eagle Solar Panel to let it charge in the Sun, but that option is a lot more money. The cheapest way is to get the $44 smart charger from Rebel. Here’s the link - rebelbatteries.com/products/12-volt-lifepo4-lithium-charger-for-lithium-iron-phosphate-batteries
