straps are made

I made a set of thigh straps out of 1inch straps with fastex buckles. I also made anchors. One for each side and one in the middle that both straps attach to. The whole setup was made from stuff around the house. I will try to get pics up in the next day or so. I am going to work up a pad to slide o...

glue

Also, please advise on glue. I imagine the poly boat will need different glue then the rx boat I have been messing with.

marker

I planned on having a few paddling buddies help me by telling me when I am trimmed as I sit in and move an unglued pedestal. When I am trimmed I was going to simply sharpie the boat tracing the saddle position.

Conversion Time

The other day I picked up a Pyranha s6 200 on the cheap. I think I am going to do a conversion on it. I will probably paddle it as a kayak for a bit before converting it. I got it for playing on a class one river after work. So, I am going to pull the outfitting and glue in a saddle- probably get a ...

Paddled it

I paddled it during the race last year and dislocated my shoulder half way down. Keep in mind they do different releases at a 6kw release you are knuckle dragging rocks, 7.5 is ok 9kw is where it gets good. I hope to get up there a time or 2 his year.

My experience

I own a bent shaft flat water paddle that has become my favorite. It is light and smooth. The livery I work for has a demo kayak paddle called the Splash. It is a favorite of the the workers here for the class 1 river we are on. I hope that when we get our retail operation up and running this summer...

Snow Creek NC class 3 video

There are numerous class 1, one class2, and one 3. This video is of the class 3 The Mill Hole. I am the last boater on the vid. As you can...

Wenonah rogue

Has anyone used a Wenonah Rogue for class 3 WW? I am thinking about working a trade for one and setting it up as a tandem boat for when my wife wants to come along. It would get used on class 2 and a bit of class 3. I have paddled the boat on class 1 and it was overkill for that river, but very dry....

I use them

I have them on both ends of my Outrage. I always used them for flat water and easy rivers, so when I bought the outrage, i did not remove them. I have found them handy a few times lowering my boat and tying it up on the bank.

thanks

great list. As a newbie, I can say that those are all things I am working on. I ran my first class 3 2 weeks ago. There were probably 30 boaters running a release on a small creek, many of the more experienced boaters were encouraging me to push myself a bit harder on the easy class 1 and 2 along th...

Paddle Length Preference

Ok, I am sure this has been hashed out, but my search turned up 1395 matches and none of them had anything to do with paddle length. I use 50 or 51 inch bent shaft for flat water and a 54straight for recreational paddling. But, I am new to Whitewater Canoeing. I bought an Outrage from creek1r, and I...
