Proud to announce my Jackson Kayak Big Rig will be fitted with the state of the art Torqeedo 403 Ultralight Kayak Electric Motor!! Weighing only 16 pounds total it is the top electric motor kayak solution on the market.

I am looking forward to using this setup mainly for HOW outings due to the speed allowing to now shoot more video transport bait resupplies and also carry snacks and drinks to the Veterans.

Adding an electric motor to your kayak may require you to title and register the boat with your states Motor Vehicle Commission.  In some states you must have a boat license or certification to operate a power boat.

I am completely pumped about this new setup. Please check back for my write-up on the install, use, care, and all of the things associated with adding an electric motor to your kayak.

Received a new BB Angler Pro paddle for paddling the big rig. Also a new Aqua-Bound Spindrift Carbon paddle with adjustable telescoping ferrule. This paddle I am looking forward to being my main paddle this season. As I have always paddled the high angle style I am now looking for a more relaxed paddle. Hoping that I can still paddle hard against wind and tides.

As I un boxed the paddles they had a factory smell to them as that they were fabricated hours before they were shipped to me.

The Angler Pro paddle is the the Sea

Green color which matches all of my

boats and most of my gear. It also has the printed ruler on it for measuring your catch!

The shaft is carbon fiber and has a 3 position snap ferrule for a maximum feather angle of 60 degrees. The blade is fiberglass making it extremely light weight at 30 oz!

The Spindrift Carbon is an all carbon paddle with foam core making it the lightest paddle Aqua-bound produces at this point in time weighing in at 24 oz. It is a low angle style of paddle making it a more relaxed stroke.

The telescoping ferrule makes it an infinite feather angle. Also this unique ferrule will extend from 235 cm to 250 cm. It now has the ability to be adjusted per type of kayak to be paddled.

I am pumped to be representing Bending Branches and Aqua-Bound this year and am looking forward to using these industry leading products.
