What's up Danny, Rick here. Let me know if you need a dive buddy! 619-847-1902. Like I said, I have a kayak, but it's a little sketchy to head out to the kelp beds or wrecks with anyone over 200lbs (I said 180lbs, but 200 should be the max I think).
I've had a couple of buddies my size (175lbs) on it before trouble though.
Prefer the kelp, when it's growing, or the wrecks. Down for in shore too though.
