I started 2 yrs ago I love it but slow to get going .
wish I lived closer to large water ways that are more isolated.
I I bought two kayaks for me and my son both are sun dolphins mine is the journey maybe both are . Lol mines a 12 ft his is 10 .
both have fishing setups . Mine can’t track worth a hoot my sons is fine his has two nice molded fins on the back mine is just a pointy bow and stern .
anyway a friend at work is into kayaks and has a few the one that caught my eye was his Malibu banana yellow thick hull and moves and tracks very well .
I decided it’s time for a upgrade and Malibu was on my mind for the last year . The model that best fits my needs and wants is the X-13 .
yeah that name was cool so I had to have it .lol. Then Covid hit and everything went south and this is where I just ordered my new Yak .
I bought it on a credit plan but the thing is they didn’t have the kayak . Now they also didn’t tell me this . As Covid rolled on I’m wondering where my kayak is . I call and email the company first time they there looking into it after that no answers no replies .
ok this is annoying but not fully enough until I started getting payment bills for the kayak I’ve not received! My way of doing business is you don’t pay if we don’t have it when we get it and ship it then we bill. Sounds fair to me?
So after logging a formal complaint to the credit place and the supplier I got the order cancelled .
so instead of a kayak I bought more guitars lol but I still wanted that dang kayak . So I keep searching and checking out the manufacturer but the kayak was fading fast no one had one .
I also wanted the yellow one but poof all gone . Malibu webs site seemed like all’s great check out these kayaks find a dealer etc . I tried calling Malibu number won’t go through tried their local number no longer in service .
I can’t believe they just shut their doors . Kayak sales like many other recreational things were selling like hot cakes sure delays were expected but production was still going on . So what the heck happened to a major player like Malibu?
I tried calling listed dealers and they say they have no idea what happened they up and got gone .
since I stuck in the hospital bored off my butt I knew of one X-13 on Amazon it’s not yellow but the only one I could find so I said screw it and bought it . Lol
anyway let see some pics of your yaks and adventures
here’s Amazon photo of the X-13 and some pics of my earlier adventures.
