im assuming hes probably referring to operating one solo. I know ive seen kids that definitely didnt look any older then maybe 13 or 14 paddling around the harbor by themselves. Granted that doesnt mean its lawful.

How old are you basskillah?? i could imagine at the worst it would be 16 with out supervision??

I'm not aware of the "legality" but I fish with both of my sons and they both have their own yaks (strictly in harbor) been that way since last year they were ages 7 and 12. I stick closely by the younger one but the older brother he's good to go. It amazes me to watch the older one sometimes, they learn so quickly. I was really surprised when my seven year old started casting a baitcaster last year. I started the boys by getting the older one his own and the younger one went with me on my X13 (gotta love the gator hatch for that!) but last year the younger one started paddling his ocean kayak Kea. This year I bought the Revo and now they both "compete" for that. The younger one usually wins out since he's not a very strong paddler.
