Clean Freak

I get a lot of grief any time I post up a photo carefully washing my Native Ultimate kayak but after a muddy redfish trip earlier in the week, my first priority upon getting home was to give the kayak a deep clean bath. I get more than a little weirded out about saltwater sitting on any surface that it might breakdown.

Is the kayak dirty enough for a bath?  Yes...I think so. 

Warm soapy water and a rinse gets everything clean.

Pluff mud was on everything from the bottom of the kayak to the paddle to the stake out pole to the bow skirt. Each piece got washed and left out to air dry.

I'm a clean freak no doubt but my Native kayak setup is an investment that I want to keep in prime shape for years to come.
