There's no whitewater in Vermont during the summer. they need 2 to 3 inches, depending how fast in comes down, for the rivers to be whitewater boatable. Always keeping a eye on thunderstorms and where their located. His best change for whitewater is just go to Deerfield, there's flies paddling all o...

I don't know the whole situation, but the new C1s maybe faster then kayaks, (depending on course design probably). Haily Thompson C1 times were faster then her K1 times She won both classes, but still, thats quite the comparison. In the past depending on the course, the kayaks were consistently the ...

Well said phil, i agree completely, you must be an execellant teacher, hope your students are listening and look forward to paddling with you, if we're on creeks you'll have to teach me a few techniques I've a bit out touch.

great deal phil

You said you paddle 300 days a years, that great
I so jealous
Now that I can't down hill ski anymore, I need to move

I would stay on my roll side. On easy class tw...

As solo, I thought the boat was pretty dry in class two & three, but as tandem alot wetter in class 3, of course I always had my partner and I tried to hit the waves, so i guess ...

I agree with phil, there so many little things you can do that make the move easier and more efficient that are hard to see from another canoe or shore. Egos need to be put aside and questioned asked. I agree with jakke too. If an effort to improve, a paddler should push themselves and take the hard...

If your only using it for tandem, its a good idea to put them closer togeather, the ME a bit wet if you can't get you ends up. deck c2 are very close and you can bump into each other once in a while, when that happens, the two of you probably aren't in sink with each other, it will also turn easier,...
