Draximus, What do you expect when your first posts on a forum are out-of-blue pointed about a good-news story like creating a ww canoe for kids?
This is great! It doesn't happen often enough that a really new canoe gets created, never mind for a whole new market that directly encourages growth of the sport! The last thing these canoe designers and marketers need is any kind of discouragement or grief.
Given that Andy and others involved with the Splash have already posted in this very thread and elsewhere on this and other canoeing forums - the development of the Splash has been pretty public (and they've signed their actual names to their posts) - I'd figure those involved don't share your concerns.
Thanks Andy, Al, Masons, Richs, and the kids, for getting this idea/boat out there!! I can't wait until I see a kid in BC paddling a splash (or anybody under 25 paddling ww in a canoe)!
