Fresh off the mold yesterday afternoon. I'll be picking up in Quebec on Friday, have work in Boston on Saturday, then heading south, visiting dealers and paddling on my way to NOC's GAF.

Let me know if you'd like to hook up to check out the new kid.

I've got some pics available, too... drop me a line if you'd like to see the newborn.

I wish Esquif would get some demo boats on tour on the lonely west coast!

There are paddlers curious about the Spark, Zoom, Blast tandem and the Zephyr, and I know some of these hulls have been sitting here in Vancouver collecting dust at a retailer. Without a chance to paddle the boats, or even see them being paddled, people don't know what to think. I wouldn't buy a Zoom with some test driving.

It might be OK to buy cold for the Nitro or Vertiges, because people can have some faith in comparing them to other boats. And now there are lots of Nitros and Detonators on the water. But when things get a little more specialized, like the Zoom, the Blast as tandem, and the new material of the Zephyr - people want to try 'em out. Wish I could.

I like the promise of that Zephyr!

Pat.

I'm really fired up about it and the pics look great! I'm planning on doing some "testing" after GAF on the Cheoah and Tallulah too. Looks like it's going to be a great "intro" boat too and we're planning on several for our instruction fleet here at NOC.

Anxiously awaits.
