Yesterday morning Tim Andrews and I took out our new Valley Aleut II double sea kayak for a paddle on Lake Del Valle. Wow, what a kayak. We managed 8.2 mph on the GPS easily although we couldn't hold that speed very long without a bit more training. The Valley Aleut II is one of the crown jewels of our complete Valley Sea Kayak demo fleet housed at our Kayak Center at Lake Del Valle. Carbon/kevlar construction, 22.5 ft long with a 26 inch beam and begging for our customers to come out and take it for a spin. Back to the topic of my post. Down by the dam we encountered a pair of ospreys and an ornery white tailed kite. It was a beautiful day and we captured some of the action on video so check it out!
