John Gillio Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Check out the new Diablo Chupacabra Kayak. It's only 56 pounds and looks very stable......................................I want one. Way out of my price range though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjtroester Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 i think it is a Chupacabra living in the yard behind my house. finally after 2 yrs i discovered if you scream your self hoarse while shaking the fence they will finally shutup, run off and hide under the porch. timothy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev-mo Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Haven't seen the kayak yet but the title made me remember my kids watching the Scooby Doo episode where they go down to Mexico to catch the Chupcabra. Good times!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gillio Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 This chupacabra was photographed in a friends back yard. It was rather small. Surely a fox with mange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben K. Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Cool looking yak, If you want something along those lines check out the Moken 10 by FeelFree. 10ft, 60lbs, easily stable enough to stand in, and only $650. I've had mine for a couple months now and I'm loving it. Once it gets more time on the water I'll post a review or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jude Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 That Moken looks like a sweet boat! Does the wheel work OK? If so, that's a great feature. Seems like it might be tough to balance, though. Nice hatches too. Can't wait to see it on Sunday. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben K. Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 It does get harder to balance if the boats loaded up with a full cooler or something really heavy. When It's just my regular gear it's fine. It rolls great over most hard or flat surfaces and it's really nice knowing the spot that would get the most wear on your hull is replaceable. I'll give a little walkthrough at the outing, it's like showing off a hot date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Chupacabra kayak looks like fun. Priced similarly to the Jacksons. I dig the wheel in the keel on the Moken 10. I agree, an economical choice with some nice features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikea Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I'd like to paddle one, the deck layout is sweet, flat and noth'n to catch my flyline on. That suckers pretty wide though, might not track and paddle for what I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gillio Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 The Moken 10 is a cool looking yak. I like the wheel in the keel idea too. More friendly price also. How does it track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben K. Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Tracks well because of some huge channels/chines in the hull. Not very fast though, it's best suited for fishing smaller rivers and water. That's my experience from the last 3 times I've had it out on a mix of water & conditions.
