Would you mind, if you know, telling us a little bit about how this happened? Finances, negotiations, etc?

It sort of depends on what you want to do. If you're planning on using it more as a river runner you probably want the extra volume. If you're going to use it just as a playboat then using the recommended size makes it very easy to throw around. It also depends where you are in the weight range. If ...

I haven't seen too many Georgia boaters here, but I know there are a few.. I'm tired of having to drive a couple hours to get to a good/even half decent playspot. Does anybody know of a place in Georgia near Atlanta preferably-because an hour drive isn't too much better than a two hour drive-where t...

I would really like this boat, but I'm not sure my family is going to want me to get a new boat because we have a huge home improvement project going on... unfortunately....

Is this planning on being a carnage movie?

nooo, if only i could gain 40 pounds real quick, this would be perfect, i guess i'll just keep waiting

Dooley ran the Raven's Fork, I think Eli ran it first though.

here's the link to the video it may be kind of hard to find, footage is great

This was truly incredible. Even if I had the skills to run that I don't know if I would.. But those enormous waves do look like a lot of fun

I had an IR Rand skirt and it fit my torso well and fit well on the rim when I got it on, but I usually could not get it on by myself. I just couldn't stretch it out. I tried stretching it out but those rand skirts are tough. In the end I just decided to sell that skirt and used the money to buy a S...

I've been in a coaching session with the Olympic gold medalist Joe Jacobi. One of the major things that he wanted us to wrap our heads around was letting the water do the work. If you try and power through moving water you'll proceed to waste energy and place more and more ineffective strokes. Canoe...

Yeah reading all of this I'd really like to see a video of this "cross j-stroke." To me the j-stroke is ok to use on whitewater, it helps maintain speed but isn't as effective in straightening the boat as a rudder. The idea of a cross j seems very strange. I'm extremely comfortable on my offside, bu...

I took my skip out for a test run on a really calm river (mostly flat river) by my house, and it went really well. The boat is great; it gets vertical so easily, but it's soo edgy. I did make the mistake of forgetting to put a seat back on, so I was constantly slipping backwards. The seat back is no...

I would suggest that instead of simply reaching forward as far as possible and sort of slapping at the water, rotate your torso a little bit toward the side you're stroking on. Hopefully you'll find that you'll be able to take more efficient strokes and get your paddle a little more vertical.

Alright I'm pretty much finished with my conversion. It's a liquidlogic skip. The saddle is 7" and 9" wide (I think I'm going to need to make it a little thinner. I went with straps and a bulkhead. I really need to know where hip pads are placed, looking at my pictures what do you suggest? Also, sho...

Thanks, I'll try and post some pics when I finish up
