Re: smallest solo whitewater canoes with a seat option

... can think of were saddles and not seats or kneeling thwarts. Massive Air Creative Composites Splash (both of which are still available). Millbrook Culprit (no longer available) was about 11'; kneeling thwart or saddle IIRC, but Kaz would know for sure. The Mohawk Maxim was under 10' IIRC There ...

Re: What to do about bad knees

Baker's cyst was the first thing that came to my mind, too, but may not be the only "culprit" for that discomfort. Definitely worth using thigh straps and avoid the pressure the knee can receive from pressing the feet back against the foot pegs. Also work on the thigh ...

Re: Leaking float bag

I agree with pblanc. The fill tube junction or valve is often the culprit. If it's not that then there's usually a pin hole somewhere on the top of the air bag. My preferred method is to fill be bag fairly hard with air then go over the entire top of the ...

Re: Dagger Caption outfitting - glueing vinyl anchors to epo

... silica. It's been a while, but I might have used microfibers as filler. I agree with your reinforcement plan, but I'm not sure glue was the culprit. The sites you report as having cracked are all sites where "stress risers" were located. That is, the ABS was forced to flex too sharply at ...

Re: C1 Rolling and PFD advice

... continue to practice. I'm just as guilty as anyone for blaming gear/boats for failing moves when it was my paddling ability that was the real culprit. Please don't take this as a personal criticism. It's awesome you're working hard on your roll and not giving in to being a swimmer.

Re: How to prepare body for max comfort (knees)

... to three different doctors. Long story short I found a physical therapist that took a much broader approach to corrrecting the problem. The culprit was tight hips, quads, calves. This tightness lead to muscle imbalances that had my relatively young (30 years) body all out of whack. This ...

Glue cracked my Royalex - Royalite - R84

... first outfitter (t'was the flexible, clear kind of probably acetone-containing contact cement - at least I got the rest off with Acetone) is the culprit here. Did anyone of you make the same experience with their royalex cracking due to "chemical" and force stress under glued-in PVC? I wonder ...

... I think the full cut version is an excellent cruising boat, and if you want a cut down boat for cruising go Acrobat. I also miss my Millbrook Culprit. Sold because no one used it (got it for someone to use to paddle with me, they never did.). Not I'd like to use it!

pick your visual and treat accordingly. Seams may be the culprit?, maybe try a bike short (chamois)? or make one

The curing may be part of the problem, but the main culprit is the material thickness. I recently compared the sheet thickness of my Outtrage and my friends Bell Ocoee to his Dagger Genesis that was probably built when dinosaurs still roamed the earth. ...

twintex hulls and carbon paddle shafts

... I do a lot of attaining on class I and II water. This means more strokes per hour probably and strokes in closer to the boat. I think the main culprit though is the pitch stroke, especially with the longer shaft. I rub the side of the hull with the shaft pretty much right next to, and right ...
