cracks can be factory repaired nicely. The rolling comments are interesting. I found the same issue, but did not have any problems at all in the Zoom. In fact I found the Zoom fast and easy to roll. Same hull shape and design. The difference, bulkhead vs. thighstraps. Mine improved greatly once not ...

tohickon on a saturday - probably would not matter what boat you were in, it was pretty crowded, some of the eddies were wall to wall tupperware. More so than your typical dam releases since they only do 4 days per year.

tuck tuck tuck

tuck fast and carry your momentum with you - 190 you should pull that little boat right over. I never got stuck at 207. Lighter folks seem to get stuck but you should not if you tuck tight when you go over and kiss that bag, then swing on out to set up and give her a good hard hip snap - that little...

ABS Pipe availability

In the Washington DC area this stuff is pretty much no longer available as it has been taken off the market. Apparently it develops cracks and well this is not such a desired trait to have in a sewer pipe. :o Much to my surprise last weekend when in Uniontown PA (just west of OhioPyle), I found the ...

VX and Caption are similar but

The Caption is the sportier ride of the two. If you want quicker turning, more nimble craft go Caption, if you want more predictable like your Vertige get the VX. I have a VX in Northern Va you can try if you want. The Probe 14 is also a much quicker turning craft than the Vx but I think you will fi...

I always thought yours were brass :o

On the serious side - I've busted many a brass screw by over tightening, never a stainless one.

Jimi stixs = worth every penny

I've owned a couple of them. First its a custom made paddle, for you and your style of boating. If you want stiff it will be stiff, flexy, you get it. Grips and shaft are sized to your hand. Wood is easier on your joints. His sticks will hold up to quite a beating as I am pretty hard on paddles, yet...
