Jacques just confirmed that two lightweight L'Edges are on the way!

What's the weight of a lightweight L'edge? Photos?

[Smurfwarrior]

Right at 50# outfitted but without bags. Ten pound difference.

Hello Jeff,
Looking like 10-12 paddlers from BC coming down for Westfest again. Eight of us will be on MFS just before, arriving evening of the 19th.

Will you have demos again? If so, can I reserve them now? I'm interested in the light weight L'edge and Prelude for Saturday and Sunday.

Looking forward to it...
Cheers,
Neil

Hey Neil,
It will be good to see the Canadian crew again. Not sure on the available demos that I'll be bringing, offering them up for sale first though (new boats) and can deliver to westfest.

Anybody have any meaningful info on water levels this year compared to last? See ya'll soon - comin down w the rest of the Canucks.

Howdy- South Fork Payette is lower.. was around 800 if I remember correctly and its 521 now. More technical, more interesting lines to take... effects Canyon, Swirly, Staircase

North Fork is higher at 2250... effects the Cascade playpark, NF and then the Main where the SF comes in...

Main should be about the same with the sf being lower and the nf being higher.

If anyone is interested in purchasing my Bigdog Force OC1 demo and my Kaos Oc1 carbon Kevlar demo, both with pumps, Kaos with airbags, let me know tomorrow and i will bring them. Credit card over the phone tomorrow gets em loaded on the trailer for you and delivered to Westfest.
Force- 650
Kaos- 1000

Hi Jeff and Westfesters:

Looks like I'll be missing Westfest - messed up my knee in April and it has not allowed me to kneel for any extended time. I'll try again next year. Hope you all have a good time. Be safe.

P.S. Not all bad - got an offer for a low water run on the Selway. Only bad thing about it is I have had to learn to kayak. Better on the water than sitting at home I guess. Still, I can't figure out what to do with that second blade.

Another great Westfest!!! Many thanks to all the Canadians who came down to boat. What a great bunch of individuals. Hope to see you at the slalom race in Sept.
Richard from Mohawk wins the prize for most miles traveled to get to Westfest. Hope your trip home goes well. Pics and vids to come
