Curtis,
Not sure all the details, but looks like you cannot buy Star slice direct any longer.
I contacted them regarding a repair to my boat, and received response back from NRS.
Went online and see that NRS now sells the boat, but they don’t offer any repair service (and seems don’t honor original warranty from Star).
Besides all that, I really like the boat, but have only paddled 6-10 times. Haven’t paddled any other boats for comparison.
