Chris-
I'm assuming you saw Nate's post about his Spark, but just in case:

And, he posted that he travels from Philly to Upstate NY. Maybe he could swing by your way with his Spark.

G'luck-

Tony, it wasn't scary, but I did have an out-of-gPod experience. For a moment I thought I saw a L'Edge magically hovering over me.

Prior to submersion, I was merely damp from exertion. After my swim, I was wet. Wet-wet, not sweat-wet. Wet mostly below the waist, but my shirt was wet too. After paddling, when I removed the drysuit, about a half-cup of water ran out from the suit's socks and my poly-cotton clothes wet too. As men...

Drysuit - wasn't

My new Stohlquist drysuit and I took an underwater tour of the Toh this weekend. Afterwards, I was wet. Not just damp, but wet. Might my suit have a leak? How do you check for pinholes? The zippers seemed zipped, the gaskets seemed tight. Is it normal to get wet after a robust freestyle? I wear Keen...

PUBLIC SVC MSG #2

1. XL Kokatat from REI with discount was gone by the time I went to order it

2. Ordered Stohlquist gPod from REI with 20% discount.

3. Doh! Just saw that Outdoor Play has gPod discounted at 21% with no tax. (Could have saved another $20).

Save yourselves! (some dough, that is...)

:roll:

Just received the Stohlquist suit... Mine arrived too. I was surprised to see the inside packaging was ripped open with the suit jumbled in a heap; apparently a return. I guess I expected pristine condition for the $$$. But the suit fits well. The neck gasket, of course, is tight. :o I don't want t...

Drops unite! Let's be a river...

Drops unite! Let's be a river of buying power? Too late for me, but I wonder if enough interested buyers band together, would a "bulk buy" save each some money? I guess that was the idea behind REI buying co-operative but their prices are no better than other gear retailers, even for us "members". :...

The customer support rep offered that as an alternative, but I was hoping for the GFER after reading through the discussion in the Main Forum. (may now reconsider) Thanks for the replies.

Re: Just bought Kokatat GFER suit - Public Svc Msg

No back order? Between "add to cart" and completing payment they sold out for me - I got a "back order" notice... Nope. Not only that, but I called and then emailed, specifically to inquire about the "backorder" small print. And both reps said that because they don't know when they'll get more, tha...

Re: Just bought Kokatat GFER suit - Public Svc Msg

More grumble, grumble - had one in my "cart" this a.m. When I went to buy around 5:15pm today, it was no longer available in XL. I think you got mine :(

Glasses, goggles, squint, pray?

New member of TOG who wonders what other optically challenged paddlers do (aside from "feel the force Luke")?

Lasik- yea or nay? (the concept of Doogie Howser with a laser is not comforting...) :o
