this anchor works great with my 16' canoe in calm water, even with a little wind.

I think an 8 lb mushroom anchor would be plenty for a small boat in calmwater.

For my 8' pontoon boat, I use an 8 lb mushroom on lakes. I doubt you'd need more than that.

A 10# mushroom anchor should be more than enough unless used in high wind conditions. Even a 5# weight would suffice in non wind and non current conditions.

I would say 230 is probably best but it also depends on the width of your kayak. In most cases I would say 230 is best. 240cm might be good if your kayak is like 34+ inches wide. Yes it depends on what kind of kayaking you're doing too. If you're maneuvering white water, maybe shorter 220cm.

Not really - if you inflate the kayak too much you may experience some discomfort fitting your feet in, but at a medium inflation level you would fit fine and still maintain good buoyancy.

Yes you need to go to any kayak site that list heights and paddle recommended. This paddle is good for say 5'10" and over roughly.

Not sure yet but I am using it for a kayak trip and want to use it in the water

This product would be good for moderate wave action --- I use prescription sea sickness patches for rough seas.

I've never used it on a calm sea but I have used it in some minor rapids and it held up very well. I will say the oars that are included are pretty flimsy so you might want to invest in some aluminum ones or just higher quality ones in general. Its an excellent little fishing boat.

I'd recommending reading through a variety of tips from the many sources available on the internet. A lot of factors go into "correct" length, including your body configuration, the width of your kayak, the type of paddling you do, and on and on. For instance, I prefer a short paddle (220 cm) with big blades for moving water, but need to use a longer (230 cm) paddle for flat water. If I went to a 240 cm paddle for flat water, tracking would be a problem.This is indeed a non-answer-sorry about that-so I'll just say that my flat-water preference would be to error on the long side, and for moving water, error on the short side.And by the way, my Magic Plus is great.

I weight 200 pounds and my dog is 45# and it's ok on very calm days only. I actually bought a larger kayak.

I think it's as good as any kayak. I've used it in rapids and in relatively flat seas. If you can handle a kayak, this one will work for you. I assume your question relates to whether the boat might lose air during the trip out to the island. It never lost an ounce of pressure during any of our adventures, but if I were gonna paddle a couple miles out to an island, I would take the pump and a repair kit.

I think either one would be ok.. The longer one will be easier in the beginning but with some time on the water, you may want the 10 footer..I am a beginner and I got the 10 footer..

The biggest problem I've had with binoculars and looking through a camera viewfinder from my kayak on reasonably calm seas (3-4 foot swell 13 seconds) is rapid onset sea sickness. I would like like to try image stabilized (IS) binocs, but the waterproof ones are very pricey. If your boat is bigger and you're not getting regular splash, you might try the non-waterproof ones (they don't seem to make IS monoculars).

That's not a bad idea, but that's really up to you. I've run over over plenty of things from trees fallen under water to sticks thick enough that stopped my boat. The boat has survived them all. It's a great boat and was definitely worth getting if you want to see if kayaking was your thing. You need to run over something so sharp or hard that can puncture this boat, but if you're careful. This boat can last you for quite some time.

It should be just fine as long as you understand that the shorter the boat the less stable. I play with mine in the main Salmon river Idaho and on lakes. I have flipped mine a few times horsing around.Out in larger chop I have extra floatation and a pump. This boat is a bitch to drain if your out from shore and flip it. I have a skirt for mine and that's real sweet. Bottom line it's light and very versital.

I use it kayaking. It gets, and stays, wet. No problem. I think it's a great devise.

I don't see the point of that. Buy a board that you can carry, that's suitable for your weight, & that is suitable for your type of paddling. That should do the job!Edited to add that I'm very happy with my Greco board & paddle, & have had great customer service from the company as well.
