Hello friends, this Saturday, June 9, the "FISHING WITH THE PRO" took place on the beach of Cristo, Estepona where we made the Marlin Day. Personally I enjoy a lot, a lot every time I go out with my Galaxy Marlin 438 and some time ago I crossed my mind the idea of ​​sharing this pleasant experience with anyone who might be interested and already doing a workshop on the ground in which I would be asked questions or doubts and where to apply everything necessary to get started in this beautiful hobby.

First of all, we are grateful for the attendance of 20 people, 18 adults and two children from different locations in Málaga and Cádiz, people who moved though the weather was not as good as we would have liked, but also had a great time!

People to whom I put all my interest to explain everything you need to get started in this beautiful hobby and to help them with different doubts and concerns on this subject. Many tried the GALAXY MARLIN 438, with high, low chair, with rudder, without rudder, they had in their hands 3 different types of oars: basic included in the purchase, hybrid carbon / plastic and 100x100 carbon.

They were shown how to put on a multi-pocket kayak vest: chinook nrs, they learned how to adjust the rudder pedal board to suit them, we talked about the different kayak models offered by GALAXY KAYAK, all accompanied by music and different drinks and a little gift that we prepared for this occasion. The most important thing is that almost everyone tried the GALAXY MARLIN 438 in the water and although most did not have experience in kayaking, following my advice they handled it very well and were happy and amazed with the qualities of this magnificent kayak. that of the event some went to NAUTICA RAMIREZ official distributor of GALAXY KAYAK in Estepona to buy your kayak! I am very happy that everything went so well, and of course this is just the first of more events of this kind that I will do later!

THANK YOU ALL and until next time!

Info about the event:

Our crack Fran The Best of the Fishing Team Galaxy Spain was present for individual talks with each participant and so they could try and learn a little more about the Galaxy Marlin.

Objective:

Have autonomy and safety, to practice outings in kayak and enjoy it to the fullest. Learn what is necessary to know how to choose a kayak and equipment, ideal for your needs and customize it.

Theoretical / practical concepts:

  • Learn how to get comfortable in the kayak, so that you can go to the beach and paddle efficiently.
  • Learn to handle the kayak, so that you are the one who commands the kayak and not the other way around.
  • Learn to enter and exit safely from the beach and most importantly, how to act in case of rollover safely and how to get back on the kayak. This is super important since all of us who practice sports on a kayak will turn over at some point and we have to know how to react.
  • Learn to differentiate the types of kayaks.
  • Basic techniques of propulsion shovels.
  • Basic techniques of driving strokes.
  • Basic rudder handling techniques.
