Sounds like a poem!


Are we gonna get to see some footage from the run in the future? That looks like a pretty gnarly creek.

One swim out of my ME and 2 out of my c1.... Of course I didn't boat nearly enough this season. Darned dry summer!

I think the level obsession dry line hunting deserves is dependent on the river/drop you are paddling. If I'm running my local class III/IV drop/pool section of river with mild to no consequences of swamping by taking a wet line, it is all about what looks like more fun to me. If it is a complex, lo...

I'm going to look for some kind of patch material as well. We'll see what direction the guys at the marine supply store point me in this afternoon!

So I picked up an XL13 for free the other day that has a pretty good crack all the way through on one side of the bow and a spot on the stern where the outer layers of vinyl are gone and the foam is exposed. I was told normal a special type of resin is needed to adhere to the royalex, but cant seem ...

I can actually make it this year! Stoked already!

I sent him an email... I can make time to go chase a deal like that.

Email sent on the paddle!

I guess what I'm looking for is an optimal discomfort to stability ratio. At 7 inches, it is uncomfortable after about 40 minutes but the stability is also less than I would like. Would shaving an inch or so off give me any noticeable increase in stability? I've also considered ankle blocks, but fee...

Just saw the post about seat height in a creek boat being in the neighborhood of 3.5 inches and measured the seat height in my Z c1... which turned out to be 7 inches. I don't paddle it much because of the instability/discomfort. Would lowering the seat down to around 4 inches be worth a shot, or is...

Gone through a fair amount of buttboats (borrowed or owned), and I FINALLY have only c-boats! This is going to be a great upcoming season. Dark Ages/butt boats: RPM max (borrowed) Dagger Piedra (borrowed) Pyranha Inazone 220 (almost gone) Pyranha Inazone 240 (gone) Necky Bliss (borrowed, gotta say, ...

If you get up to the north here, there is always The Gorge and Cribworks on the penobscot. A buddy of mine saw a canadian in an open boat wave wheel Exterminator. :o I think that would look pretty snazzy on film.... There are also some burly creeks up here. Never tried most of em myself, but the who...

I promise that method isn't too easy with an old mad river ME.

Portability, just one more reason to have a short boat!

Not just any kayak, a "kneel-in kayak!"

Not My Boat.
