Hey folks, Having just returned from Mexico before Xmas I can honestly say just do it...sign up with Esprit and go for the week. Well some folks have said in the past the Esprit holds your hand a little to much and that you should just go on your own I have to disagree. Having boated in Central and ...

I would agree that the Carbon shafts give no real warning but instead just break. I don't think you need a carbon shaft to have an Excellent paddle though. The most recent paddle Andy at Echo constructed for me was a wood shaft and blade but then wrapped in carbon to add strength and stiffness. My s...

Hey, I would suggest you look at Echo Paddles. http://www.echopaddles.com Andy builds really nice sticks that last. Depending what you want he can put together different combos of wood and composites. One nice thing about having a composite shaft is the blade can be changed out if you break it or th...

Just noticed that Gonzo posted this as well. I had it ready to go earlier this evening but had to run out. Came home and hit submit only to see I was beat to it. Oh well certainly worth posting twice. Good information and entertainment!

Cheers

Hello All, Having just returned from boating in Mexico I wanted to take some time to share the link for the most recent episode of Currents. For those who may not know Currents is "a river stewardship focused WebTV program (online video documentary) which uses white water kayaking as a means to educ...

Dagger Redline...in good shape. Makes a great c1 river runner Was at one point outfitted as a c1. It comes with an assortment of foam that resembles some c1 outfitting. Other foam will be required to finish the job. Make an offer. Would like to get it out of my garage. Will ship if possible or drive...

Hello, I am looking at outfiiting a EZG 60 as a c1. I am 215 lbs. Any thoughts on how this boat will do both in bigger water (Ottawa River) and as a park and play c1. Also any bigger people have any suggestions for C1's for someone in my weight. I had a Big EZ but find I am a little heavy for it. I ...

Hey Mike Well I thought maybe I would share some potential insight with regards to Esprit and Mexico. It is clear that Louie has lots of experience within Mexico but I thought I would share my experiences in being a paying client on an Esprit trip. I realized you likely do not want to read about me ...

Hey Jeff, I was in Mexico last winter with Esprit and am wishing I could make it back this winter. Jim and his team run a week that you will not forget or regret going on. The Mexico week is well organized and structured however not overly structured (never did I feel like I was in some kind of boot...

As for the scratches they came with the boat when it was purchased used. The drain hole in the front was added by the airline. What you can not see is the crack in the hull.

Hello All, I was hoping someone might be able to offer some ideas/thoughts on repairing my Taureau. The damages seen here were compliments of the airline well traveling to Costa Rica this winter. I am still working on a settlement with them but would like to get the boat ready for the spring. Any su...

Hello, I have a Taureau that I really enjoy paddling. I am 6'5" and weigh 215lbs. Paddling the boat for the first time it was a little tippy but I have since adjusted and got use to it. I am quite comfortable in it now. I would not argue that 200lbs is the upper end ideal weight but at 215-220 I am ...
