The stinkeye is a very cool design...and I seriously doubt too many folks will shed any tears from the name-change.
Canoeing isn't a sport...its an art. Unfortunately, I am not exactly Michelangelo.

Now you're making me feel old. I remember John (Berrys) Millbrook shop in Riparius!

I'd like to think he'd be proud to see the business continuing, and continuing to innovate.
Keep the C!

Joe having paddled a couple versions of the stink eye I'd have NO PROBLEM creek'n in that boat. Creek'n in glass is way old school and WAY too cool! Running "IT" in glass clean is the true test! My $.01!!!

I am stoked to have his first Blink heading South to NC soon. A few of us are starting to plan a day at ALF for a run with our Millbrook boats.
