If you do, what do you think of it? If you chose not to have that extended splash plate, why did you make that choice? I’m asking for pros and cons here.

I’ve been reading all about these boats but feeling is believing.

So much has changed and I’m realizing that I was quite blessed in the little niche of hand-built fiberglass racing kayaks in the Appalachian Mountains back in the 90’s.

On one hand, I’m very eager to get paddling again (THIS MONTH!) and, on the other, I’m trying to sort through the internet’s firehose of information and product ch…Read more

If your wetsuit has an unrepairable blowout, I’d like those arm and leg sleeve parts. 🙂

Thanks for posting about this @wildbill

I live in that area so this is certainly a big positive towards purchase of a solo whitewater canoe.

We paddled throughout Pennsylvania and Virginia, mostly. In the decades since I’ve kept up with paddling barely via occasional rentals. Now that I seem to have a little s…Read more
