I talked to endless rivers about orderring some sticks June 30th- specifically the breakdown paddle- the folks there are awesome

I wish I like Martins fink a little better and I would get a Fink- I still might we'll see I'd need to sell the Burn I just picked up a few months ago though.

with the seat forward- Martin's boat- I didn't have any problems with bulky bow or rolling and I'm short- with itty bitty arms I thought it paddled nicely and was really stable but I think it could have more stern volume

I was down at the NOC for the GAF at the end of October. Just happened to stop in at Endless Rivers base and Store on hwy 19. Guess what I found mixed in with all Ken's brand new Wavesport K-Boats? Yes, you guessed it . Two brand new Robson Finkenmiesters. I know Ken is in Chile or Costa Rica right know but I am quite sure the store is open on a limited basis. He mentioned he had about $1200 invested in each boat, because of shipping etc. So look them on the net or give the store a call. I can't imagine he has sold both, probably not either. I was actually hesitating to inform anyone about them, kinda was thinking of waiting until spring and sweet talking the Boss into adding one to the quiver.........One blade.........Out

As I was asking Robert Sommer of Robson, Germany, about boats in/for the US he told me that the people of Endless River Adventures just bought 6 Finkenmeisters.

I'm sure they will do that with some Homes as well as long there is serious interest from the community. Go and mail/ask them about it. The more people ask probably the better. I know Robson is willing despite the strong Euro.
"A canoe trip?" he said. "There ain't nothing to go down there for."
"Because it's there," Lewis said.
