Re: How much rocker should a WW canoe have for class 2 - eas

GP, some good suggestions on here for you, but take it all wid salt. More important than any boat is the boater.

go superior

I second Gumpys suggestions, he is absolutely spot on. Save up a little more and go custom builder. And go ALL wood. An all wood stick allows you infinite repair. Sure it might seem that throwin down $350 plus on a paddle is steep, but its really economically conservative and green also. I mulled ov...

Plus more people doing make it easier to try out w/o having to make a monetary commitment first. i hear ma...
