I now also have a Sith- Demo. I wish Martin added an N after demo ;) I've kept the outfitting sparce, because if I did it to fit me, no one else could try it. I'll be at Nantahalla 7/2-7/4 and tentatively Potomac 7/15, and Lower Yough 8/10ish.

Cheers,
Bill

please email me at billcanoes@yahoo.com for a demo, or send me a pm.

:x DARNIT DARN DARN DARN DARN DARN DARNIT!!! :x I've been wanting to get a Sith on a wave for a couple of years now. I can't get to the Nanty till 7-5. DARNIT! :x Mapquest says 3 hrs 26 minutes from Bryson City to Charlotte. Where is the boat going to be the rest of the week?

Which section of the Potomac are you going to on the 15th? Maybe we could get together somewhere on your way up or back.

Advice to the younguns amongst us: Get a job that does not require you to be "on call". "On call" stinks :x Take it from an old geezer who knows :-?

Mike,

We'll see who is there. Hopefully, if I can get the boat back to Charlotte, you can watch it for the rest of the week. The seat height is 5"- I've got a .5" and 1" potential aditions, but I'm not sure either is needed. At the lake the boat was far more stable than expected. Cant wait to try it on the Nanty to give it an honest review. I didnt realize it till last night, talking to David G, but I was looking at the Bow trying to flatwater stern squirt :( In hindsight- i think I was doing this because Martin told me how cool it looked to have the ends above water in a longer boat-
Custom chops are available.

I had a great time today on the Nanty The Sith did awesome, I got one good front surf in, but i had two really awesome side surfs. I was flatwater stern squirting like crazy, or at least whenever the water was deep enough so about 10 + times. An NOC kayak instructor commented positively on the boat, and I met a cboater (Mel) at Pizza by the river.

Awesome trip.

Worse case scenarion I can leave the boat with Mel. He says he sold you the Acrobat.
