I could walk to a small class I leading to lake constance. that basically is a feature of the rhine.. which in an other day trip, brings you to the rhine falls in schaffhausen, a prohibited VI fall that has been run in kayaks, and then on all the way to the netherlands. In terms of actual WW, I have...

For now would be something really close to my spark.. although more repairable or more sturdy would be preferred, so probably no royalex. Depending on where I'm going in the future (steeper or more control.. hehe, as if that was mutually exclusive) it could be either a L'Edge or some sturdy-layup ka...

Just be careful and very gentle with that heat gun.. be patient.. do not heat over 90 degrees for a start.. epoxy might disintegrate with more heat. usually enough to get it out - otherwise, before ruining your shaft, cut it off and get a shop to router the rest out. or drill it yourself, usually mo...

Oh yes, that story reminds me of the moment where my partner nearly got pulled into a strainer.. where her boat ended up - and I sat on the other shore, on a foggy day with noone being able to watch me, quite an intense few minutes before I made her out walking on shore safely. Quite similar to your...

OH YES EINAR, you have one of the best! Greetings from us to her! Only problem here is that I can't have my better half drive the shuttle b/c she would rather be boating. Ah, I guess you can't have everything.. when we recently contemplated about death and whom I would inherit what (travelling/flyin...

My biggest moment of fear was had when I watched a Lady and two (9 - 11 year old) girls without pfd's in a rubber dinghy (not raft.. just cheap crap) and no helmets, neoprene or anything go down a class II we often paddle that I knew had large wood accumulations in several spots due to earlier flood...

Do Sparks count? Well, for us they do and I guess the behavior is just classic Millbrook (a.k.a. winning nearly every race in their class) ;D Here you go, folks - official "Love Canoeing!" bow xmas greetings from deep-frozen Germany. http://u1.ipernity.com/17/90/75/9689075.a83bcbcf.jpg Happy Kazmas!...

Hi Erick and others, wow, crazy how you all had these experiences and after all, I guess I can feel lucky to have my other half into canoeing as well and some good paddling friends around to go out with... we take kayakers on our trips too. I have not been dependent on kayakers any time for now, alt...

Kober F-Power.. which is a light glass / glass with reinforced tip (sadly no alum, so it gets smeared with Gflex every couple times out to prevent the all-too-common fraying). And I have a DIY wood stick in the making. Will be reinforcing blade with carbon, stick with carbon stringer wrap-around.. i...

Why did you do it over ebay? OK everybody and their uncle has an account, but so all the good money people are willing to spend will lose to the highest bidder.. should have just used something else. Probably not flattr though, and paypal you never know, they might cut your revenue stream just when ...

No ads for me. I ignore them (yes even the paddling ones - come on, who of you doesn't check out the manufacturers websites on their own anyways?) and I also doubt their efficiency. Sponsorship, thats a different story. Although not much different in some ways, I would let sponsors in the boat in th...

gflex and 105/205 also mix - so to get thinner with some characteristics with both, mix both 105/205 and gflex first and *then* together - characteristics are about related to the amounts in the mix..

Cotton should not be a good idea. True, a wet-out Goretex (or similar textile material) breathes less, but it will if dried. If it wets-out fast (no beading of spray water any more) re-impregnate it. Other than that, I have made the best experiences with structured next-to-skin layers like the waffl...

You could also get away with a cardboard roll.. those where they ship posters in.. its longer and thus easier to grip but still sturdy ;D
