Hi Jimmy, Echo does make a smaller blade version of the persuit for small women and kids. our daughter (9) is using a cut shaft lightning and it is way heavy. Got her an H2O paddle for Christmas. It is a regular blade size but they are really light. I'll let you know how she finds moving it through ...

I've got an Outrage and love it...... 5'3" and around 120 give or take a sugar rampage..... what I like about it is it's narrow and I can reach te water on my ofside without feeling like someone is ripping my spine out. It is really fast Don't worry about the primary stability, you'll get use to tha...

Hi Squeeky knee (Shawn) I've got a kid in each of the platforms. There are advantages and disadvantages to both depending on the kids personality and comfort in water. The Yaker is in a fun 1 which is a performance boat just like it's grown up version. If she goes into a wave hole and doesn't paddle...

Does anyone know when they started boating solo? Any advice for getting kids started? the kayaker started two years ago...we got her some lessons where she was mentored and taught by 14 year olds as well as adults, she actually loves taking lessons from other people, with parents the key is to keep...

Al will be arriving late Saturday evening.... (we're buncking wiuth them) I doubt he'll be checking back here in the meantime as he's packing (or should be :lol: ) drop me an email with your cell and I'll make sure Al gets it if you'd like.....no worries, he ain't shy so he'll be around the confrenc...

we've had kids as young as 5 paddling ours in flatwater independently...and as young as 2 sitting and playing with the boat and mom/dad you'll be suprised, they can get the boat going once they get a feel for where the pivot point is.... Al's kids and mine will be there and it's something to watch k...

Perfect Ohio, we are there for the entire week. Is your 6 year old trying the splash if they come with you? Won't know what rivers we will be doing but we hope to hook up with all you nice folks in Lenoir after we settle in with the Greve's... I'm really looking forward to the whole shin dig. Really...

Thanks a million for that info Chris, sorry if it sounded like a whine....more like Mother's concern if I could trouble you for one more piece of info (google maps don't show these fabulous rivers).... is Pigeon forge between Lenoir and most of the rivers or am I going away from it? We have to make ...

Hi Ohio, My hubby and I are taking our two girls down. Yongest is 8 (OC-1) and the eldest is 10 (K-1). We are staying offsite but will hook up with other families as I'm sure our partner family is eager as well (Al and Liz) (their kids girls 10 (OC-1) and 13 (OC-1) Speaking of which, Liz, if you are...

Hey Chris, Could you post a couple rivers in the novice, intermediate and advanced range? We can search the AW site for river descriptions from there. There's a number of Canadians looking at this trip but without a couple rivers to look at, they might not go down. Hey, Jon!!!!! I've been swamped la...

OK....I see the mention of the word "cold" any of you Canadians out there who could define that in Northern context? :lol: say the water is as cold as Palmers in May....or...... the nights are as cold as Gatineau fest this year.... gotta know if I need to upgrade some of the kids gear........ nice t...

The topic of louiefest has come up in our house a couple times now. Apparently hubby and his co-conspirators have moved it from penciled in to ink on the calandar....if I had been smart I would have negotiated for some sort of paddlin' bling bling.....on the same conversation I overheard that the di...

We'll be landing at Hackberry site sometime Friday night....come on up and see the boat saturday....we have a prototype right now, the prototypes were just painted not jel coated so they leave a pretty blue path wherever they have been... it's corrected in the retail models or if you see us on the r...

Hi Tommy...thanks for the info.

We've go...
