Higher Octane -my 1st foam foray

Just received my new Octane! I am not overly tall, but I am mostly legs. I found the squeeze into the outfitting disconcertingly tight.

LY 6/25 & 6/26

3 SEPA paddlers heading out from Philly for 2 days on the Lower Yough. We'll have one vehicle, so if you see a hitchhiking paddler, a shuttle would be most appreciated. I'll be the forlorn looking one.

Finally, in survival mode, I ripped out the blocks and have been pain-free ever since. My knees are happiest when the tops of my feet are flat on the floor, soles up. (Tall sad...
