Got to demo the new one Monday, what a blast!

... in the US - there are multiple other makers - much faster - 6 mph is easy and 7 mph is fine - much more sporty in the ocean - downwind runs are a blast and you can surf small waves "bumps" - some are open where you wear a skirt and others are closed like a surfski - most have rudders but not all ...

... used to. The first time I paddled it I flipped 3x before staying on, and I have years paddling in wildwater C1s. But since then it has been a blast. I normally beach launch and it has amazed me the size of the surf that you can break out through - coming back in is trickier and most of my ...

... had this much fun in a canoe in a long time, if ever. Just spent three days paddling/camping at the same class II creek all weekend and had a blast in the Covert run after run. Fullgnarlz mannnn ;) Cheers. http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee448/Haggy187/DJI_0013.jpg

... summer in Washington! Blackfly will be on hand with boat demos, canoe deliveries, free instructional clinics, and of course, tacos. We had such a blast paddling with everyone last summer that we're going to try to do it every summer! See you in Methow! 16665374_10206367309901167_8863242143743911972_o.jpg

Jay, Definitely get in touch with Paddle Trails, Dave is good people. I boated with them last summer on the Blackfly tour, and had a blast. Skykomish is 90 minutes ish from Seattle, depending on where you're coming from, and at the level I did it, it was somewhere in between Cheat Canyon ...

I converted an Esquif Nitro to a tandem.
Boat handles better than the Blast.

My wife and I certainly had a blast this summer in our Coverts, touring around, meeting and paddling with new people. We've had nothing but great reviews from those who purchased the boats - everyone seems to be very happy so far, and boats ...

I'm primarily a decked boater, but I had a blast in a L'Edge in Costa Rica with Esprit, and am pretty much exactly your size. I think you may find the Octane 85 a bit big, but remember I'm coming from small pointy death traps;) Paddle them both ...

Or for something that is very stable and a blast get a Sith:) For a comfortable river runner with high playability you can't get much better. It isn't as fast as the other boats though. As PAC said though, get what you want and have fun. FWIW ...

... be a good fun boat but so would, Adam said, a slalom boat. Either a newer design or go old school. I've paddle the new school designs and had a blast. But I've also had a great time in old school boats I've owned as well. The deal breaker in my mind would be the cost. Find a deal your happy ...

... runs like I could in my late 40's and early 50's. The water levels have been so good with the El Nino weather pattern that we've been having a blast since last October. I and a 64 year old friend paddled 4 times in 8 days over the Christmas holidays. I'm happy I can still get out there and ...
