Re: Wood T-grip repair/maintenance and opinions for best pad
Yes, I have a Stanley surform tool much like the one you showed the link for... but I find that a rust grinding wheel for drill works better if you need to really get in and shave a large amount of foam... you have to be careful though not to go too big!

Re: Wood T-grip repair/maintenance and opinions for best pad

Wood T-grip repair/maintenance and opinions for best paddle
I have 2 older, but very nice paddles. One is a Werner Bandit, and the other was found as river booty that is a very nice fiberglass slalom c-1 style paddle... Both have wooden handles that are in poor condition and both are heavily used, but still have plenty of life left in them. Both wooden handl...

SOLD Esquif Canyon tandem whitewater canoe SOLD
This is an almost new Esquif Canyon. It is the favorite of many for tandem whitewater and touring. It is a big boat! Very stable, and very comfortable, turns fast and yet is still great on flat water. The boat is designed for touring so it is quite large and can store a lot of gear for overnight cam...

Re: Blackfly Octane 91 Outfitting
Thanks for all the help guys! I found that Bell Canoes, (no longer in business) actually still has a some airbags left in stock... They are a bit less than the harmony bags so I ordered a set of 60 inch bags from them, although I would like to eventually get a set of the bomber bags for sure! I also...

Bell Canoes... No longer in business?!?!?!
I guess I must have been hiding under a rock for the last couple years. I was looking at the bell canoe page, called to inquire about flotation bags and found out that Bell Canoe Works is out of business and has been for a while. After being purchased by ORC they have now decided to let the company ...

Re: Blackfly Octane 91 Outfitting
Thanks guys!!! I really do want to go with the Bomber Bags now.... they seem like the best choice, but they are far more expensive than I was hoping, then again, everything quality always is! I found this site for bilge kits... seems to make things very simple.... http://jtkcanoes.weebly.com/product...

Re: Solo boat suggestion?
If your looking for a traditional boat, I have always been partial to the Mohawk Probe 12. It is a big enough boat to store a bit of stuff for long days or even an overnight... due to its size, it tracks well on flat water for a paddle out, and it also is fun for play. Its pretty much a great all ar...

Blackfly Octane 91 Outfitting
I am currently waiting on delivery of a new Blackfly Octane 91, (should be another couple weeks before it is ready to be shipped). I need to figure out my best options for outfitting now, so that I can get my new boat ready to hit the river as soon as it arrives. TOPIC 1: Flotation I am told that 54...
