Re: Esquif related questions? Let me help
. . . Spanish Fly: dunno,.dont think so; Prelude: yes, will be manufactured in the UK. TFormex: All are now being made in TFormex. . . Thanks for the response, Sabrina! I think we all hope that TFormex will enable Esquif to be successful, and get production back up to speed for WW boats, as well as...

Re: How MITH can save tandem whitewater canoeing.
Canoeists are a traditional bunch... some might say obstinate, in the face of change. When it comes to canoeing, we’re slow to accept anything that might challenge our knowledge or lack thereof. . . First, Paul, your MITH concept is excellent. I will use it in our next course. Thanks for many solid...

Re: Esquif related questions? Let me help
Hey Sabrina et al
Other than the L'Edges coming out of L L, is Esquif going to bring back the other PE hulls they've made previously: Spanish Fly, Prelude?
And what's happening with T-Formex for whitewater boats: Spark, Vertige-X, etc.? Any movement?
Thanks
Rick

Re: Dropzone available in US
Would be very interested to know why you love it, Wendy. Review please!Wendy wrote: . . . I paddled the demo and really enjoyed it so much that, of course, I ordered one. . .[
Given the DZ's specs, would love to know how, in your opinion, the DZ compares to the Option
Thanks

Re: Ledge or octane
. . .I've paddled the Drop Zone too. At least the demo I paddled was as wide and stable as the Octane 91 . . . Thanks, boatbuster! Comments elsewhere say that the DZ is prob'ly a better boat for a bigger guy (given the width and stability) -- wondering how much you weigh (not to get too personal)? ...

Re: Ledge or octane
Thanks for all the info, and particularly Aaron's comprehensive review. Good stuff.
Only thing that's missing is a comparative review of the Dropzone, by some who's paddles all the others.
Anyone???

Re: Elbow Pads
. . . If we meet I owe you an adult beverage - a good one from wherever - your choice! :wink:. . . I'd take a tot of Screech when we meet in person -- not because you owe me anything, (which you don't,) but just because canoeing friends like to drink to pointed boats and the people who paddle them....

Or buy Canadian, from a fellow boater. Or buy French from a fellow boater. Or buy Australian. Or German. . .PAC wrote: . . . Buy USA from a fellow Boater! . . .
Buy from a fellow boater, by all means. But let's put away the flags.

Re: Removing skin from minicell

Rare times I've bought small chunks from our canoe dealer, and I've never been offered pieces with skin on. Nor would I accept them if they were offered. More often, I've bought foam by t...

It's official -- VanIsle won't take 'no' for an answer. There're fresh mints on your pillows, chili on the back burner, and a buncha paddlers who would love to see y'all again!Cheeks wrote: . . . we'll be in the PNW for a week for the North West Canoeing Fest . . .
