Hi Adam, hi cboaters,

I hope you're going to like this new one:

I thought I'd try to do this with a canoe paddle (really!) but why won't you try it?

PS-- Adam, wouldn't it be cool if people could embed videos on this forum?

Hi Adam, hello C boaters,

This is our latest video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 4487820075

You'll probably notice the J twist to the wavewalking paddle stroke somewhere in the middle of the vid.

Hi Adam & everybody!

Some Cboats.net old timers may remember Adam's report on the W and the pictures he posted of him and me doing the 'Penguin Leap' on ice and paddling standing.
Well, now there's an 8 minute movie on Google Video:

Hi Adam, hi everybody

Finally, we found a paddler who likes canoeing the Wavewalk more than kayaking it :D ...
I suppose this pleasant discovery would suffice to classify the W as a "Twin hulled canoe with a high and long saddle".

This canoeist also ...

Gosh, that looks very tricky.
were you nervous?
:D
It's not really as tricky as it looks but I got nervous because it took me several trials before I got a 'smooth' crossing on the trunk section that's above the surface...
Anyway, I was more nervous in the winter of 04' when I did 'penguin leaps ...

Hi Adam, hi everybody -

This is our latest goofy video:

Perhaps you'll enjoy it more if you imagine the paddler using a single blade paddle (BTW, it's possible)

Hi Jim,

Leg pain, leg numbness or back pain - It's always good to be able to switch between positions. It may not be the most practical suggestion in class V but you still may be interested in reading this:

If by "plastic" you mean polyethylene (PE) it might stick for a while but eventually it will separate itself from the hull, especially if that area is under mechanical stress (push, pull, twist etc.)
Polyethylene has a very low surface tension and doesn't really bond to anything.
Try welding?

Yoav

Merry paddling everybody!

Maybe its' even more fun with a long single-blade paddle? :wink:
Anyway, no straps or skirt are required for this.

Thanks -Looks like I did miss the point big time!
Sorry about that, and my apology for boring some of you with my long technical lecture

I can't help it - it's a reflex...

Yoav

:o does it have built in $ponsons? :D
Sorry... I haven't seen that word on this site. Feel free to nuke this post :oops: :wink:
:D :D No nukes Craig,
You'll see I can be very gentle :wink: ..
The way it works (US Patent # 6,871,608) is like that:

can you roll that thing?
Hi Nam,
I would think it's impossible because the W boat concept is about offering the best stability and control to the paddler so he/she can stay in the boat and not have to recover it, and rolling is essentially a recovery technique for unstable kayaks.
Having said that ...

Isaac-
No rolling and no straps - what you see is what you get

For the benefit of those who still haven't seen the new option:D : Paddle skiing .
There's a short video on my website: http://www.wavewalk.com/DEMO%20VIDEOS.html

Paddle skiing at sea is the best, as far as I'm concerned (not in this weather, though)
