Wanna take a Prelude for a test drive? You can borrow mine.

Under these conditions how do your "weight sensitive" boats fare? I am heavily considering a jump to the Prelude, and accepting the associated learning curve.

You'll like the prelude, and probably the maxim (I've not tried one but I'm told they're broadly speaking similar to the prelude)

Weight sensitive boats tend to be sensitive to too many pies, rather than only good for a specific range of paddler weights.

I often wonder what ever happened to Maxwell... met him in Minden in 2002 and he was on Cboats for a short time while he was making paddles and then he vanished.

You missed the L'Edge out, which is notorious for it's significant weight.

I would imagine Mohawk has contact info? I wouldn't mind another paddle...

As you'll see from my recent portrait; I don't think that would be in any way productive...

Oh no, really? I guess you are also going to tell me that Esquif only make them in red?
