Rick, I glad to hear your working on that roll. :wink: - so next session why not try your old pfd with the helmet, then new pfd and no helmet, etc. That way you'll know what's causing the failed rolls. I hope there is more gear differences going from the pool to the river than what you have mentione...

This may sound silly but a buddy had his pump wired backwards. (battery positive to motor black wire) It did pump but was very slow.
Also is the interior of the discharge hose smooth or is it ribbed. (ribbed is slower)
Is the battery fully charged.

Hope this helps

I paddle OC-1 through the winter (west coast minus 8c). And have found the NRS Mambas to work very well. They are warm and fit over the T-grip comfortably.

Wendy,
The tip about carving the foam that way, would have been nice to know. I haven't heard that before.

Ian123,

I don't need it, I've seen him paddle.

Mr Mahyongg,
I'm beginning to think you maybe an internet stalker, or an anti-pump activist. This may take a paddle show down to resolve. Who paddles a drier boat. Lets say, we meet in Costa Rica. There must be a river down there you can paddle.

Rick,
We really love the Octane because its built from PE. We're on our 2nd Royalex and 1 more new on the shelf. What C2 have you got in the quiver.
Ross

Rick,
I like your thread here. We are playing with this type of idea for our Octane 92. Some times the pumps just don't do it.

Einar,
Is the camera mount the 2nd generation new and improved.

Pullin Hard Pat.

If anyone is wondering why a L'Edge was chosen over the BlackFly Option. I think it really boiled down how quick it could be delivered. The L'Edge was at the local C&K shop. The Option was a few weeks away. Jeremy is waiting for some foam for the outfitting. It wasn't how one paddled differently tha...

Oh no Rick,
That boat got sold awhile back. The Viper I was referring to is a new one, owned by the fellow that tandems the Octane with me. He has finally seen the light, and realized that the L'Edge is the boat for the Chilli Canyon.

Hey Rick, Einar,
There is another L'Edge in the Mission/Abbey Crew. It seems a certain owner of a Kelvar Viper has pulled the trigger and added to the quiver.

At least you got an invite

Jan,
You know the West Coast boaters as a whole are slow to move onto the newer designs. But now with Rick joining the plastic crew, that makes a total of 4 new boats 2 of which stay at my house.
WooWhoo
