... My first whitewater boat was a woodstrip Stinkeye (Blink) that I added 6 inches to in the middle, sort of a 20/30 (or 20/15 depending on the perspective) :D I still love that boat, it only gets hauled out of the barn for special occasions like Gualeyfeast but then it winds up going down the ...

With a top-heavy build at 6' 1" a 31" inseam and 190+ lbs, I've been paddling the Octane 91 on everything for the past couple of years. For perspective, this summer it was just so good on a (10~11K cfs) Main Salmon self support trip with 40+ lbs of camping gear. A couple of weeks later, on hades's ...

Thanks guys for your perspective. I can say that kboating is not an option, my back would not take it, C1 is therapy. I will stick with the C1's as it just doesn't make sense to make a huge investment in glass open boats, because no ...

... important when you're talking a 16' or 17' loaded tandem. How this works is if the bow paddler begins to make a maneuver and from the stern's perspective a different maneuver is better or easier, the stern paddler calls this maneuver out to the bow and begins to initiate it. The bow paddler ...

I didn't make it to Methow last year (super excited) but for the rest of the PNW, I went drytop all summer. I don't think I wore a drysuit once. To put my cold water tolerance into perspective, I also wore a drysuit for the last two ALF races, but that's about as cold as I'll go

... into the eddy? I could see it in your face. The key is to throw that cross stroke when you know you need it ! build that confidence!" *short boat perspective* Coaching > Courses and Clinics. * To canoe is to be a painter, an artist. The river is your canvas, the paddle is your brush. You may paint ...

Sorry for the 1st person only perspective. Here is my first day paddling the superstar on whitewater on Maryland wave on the Potomac.

... it normally is. I definitely think it's completely paddle-able at that weight. Vargas also had a similar range in weights if you need a different perspective

... OC1 playboat, er, yes please! I know I could get a composite Kaos and I really should try one, but I know yours will be built from a canoeists perspective :) Otherwise most of my C1 requirements are equally valid, and if you could have something prototyped that would take me at say 110kg (aiming ...

I saw a nice video of it on Vimeo. It's shot from the boaters perspective, and doesn't show the boat really. It was posted 2 months ago. Does anyone have any information about such a critter? Thanks-M-

... you paddle OC-2? Send me a PM if you are interested. As for relationships between fisherman and paddlers in the southern Appalachian area from my perspective they have been pretty good. I have had encounters with land owners, on occasion, who believe they own the water in a stream flowing past ...

... the paddling population in general is like. From what I've read, it's quite contentious, but I'm much more interested in the "boots on the ground" perspective than that of the organizations themselves. Up here in Maine, there's quite a bit of crossover between the fly fishing and paddling communities ...

I, m agree with all experts above. But gopro wide angle frown significantly changes the perspective. So it,s difficult to see the true motions

Thanks for taking the time to post that very kind review Mary! You are indeed the first woman to order a Storm Chaser and we really appreciate your perspective on the boat. We're hoping more lady cboaters will now have a chance to try one of our new smaller version boats. Thanks again to all of ...

... could use a screw or bolt through it or even just wrapping some tape. I have also used a GP mount directly on my boat and I think it gives good perspective. It is simpler, more steady, cheaper and doesn't get in the way. j
