Drysuit cleaning

I have a kokatat GMER drysuit that needs washing. I know what I have to do as far as washing instructions and after care. As a person who sweats a lot, I have some stains on the inside as well as out. Also paranoid about damaging the zipper. Do you wash with zipper open, closed or halfway? It does n...

Re: Costa Rica with Esprit!

Looks like a great trip! Some people I know from New England paddled with esprit in January. They seemed very happy with them, really single blade friendly!
As always, a great edit from "The Knarlz" What video software are you using? IMO. you have some of the best OC1 whitewater vids out there.

Re: Trash Talking

When I was about 18 yo. I borrowed my dad's 16' fiberglass "white" fishing canoe with a buddy and paddled it down a class II river in high water. Wrapped it around a rock an TRASHED IT! Boy was he mad at me. Another time we went to a canoe race on snow...... down a bunny slope. Waxed up the bottom o...

Re: Leaking float bag

If it is not the valve or fill ring area, try using scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner. Sometimes it won't "bubble up" if ther is not enough pressure as well. Spray on and push down on the bag. Sounds like the holes are so small you need to add a fair amount of pressure to make them show.

Re: Four Canoes on the Green Narrows

Great video! Nice edit. Sometimes the best paddles are short notice and everything lines up perfectly. You guys must have been super stoked at the end of the day.

Re: Dry Suit help

If you can try on a friends or find a kokatat dealer close by, try some on. I'm 5'9 180lbs. The large was too long and bulky for me. The feet get too bunched up in my booties with a large. My medium fits perfect for me. If this is your 1st drysuit here is some things I've learned. It a big investmen...

Re: Which drysuit?

My kokotat gfer is a quality drysuit. I tried a cheaper stholquist EZ, (around $600) the zipper failed 2 out of 3 times I used it. Trouble returning it but I finally got my money back. I bought the kokotat and it is awesome. It is a big investment! I treat my drysuit way better than I treat my boat....

Re: LCCC Year in Review Video

Enjoyed this vid tremendously. It showed a lot of different perspectives of c boating. Solo, tandem young and experienced. My favorite part was at about 15:28 into the video, that gentleman is ripped for his life experience. We all should strive for that kind of fitness in our c boating years to come!

Re: Life expectancy of a drysuit

Be careful about the new Stholquist EZ drysuit. Used it twice, the zipper blew out on me twice. It ruined my new years day paddle on the Winni. :oops: I was extremely careful when zipping it up. it separates and is miserable to get back in. It went Back and my new Kokatat Gfer will be in on Tuesday....
