We moved from a Nexus to a Blast and rarely paddle the Nexus now. The Blast is slower than the Nexus (read Caption as well) but turns on a dime and has amasing secondary stability. We weigh ~310 pounds. Because of the rocker (lots) the Blast paddles dry, and if my partner looks at a drop and decides...

I just started paddling a Quake this spring (from an Ocoee), and the more I paddle it, the more I like it. Put a piece of plastic up front to act as a wave deflector and that's working well, and installed a bilge pump. I have been moving the seat back, and the further back I get it, the better the b...

Looked for him at ALF. Not on Colin's contact list. Still around?

I have both. If I think I'll need to get water out of the boat in places where I need to keep my hands on the paddle I use my electric system (Atwood 1200 & two 7.2v RC car batteries in a pelican case), BUT the system adds significant weight to my solo boat.

With all the rain we've had, the flow was about 50% higher than usual for this time of year, and the Dam guys increased it to that level just as they were starting to set the course at noon on Tuesday. Plan 'B'. The flow was fast and pushy. Most moves were full power an...

Mine was because of a death grip on the paddle shaft. Had to learn to loosen my grip there. Practiced paddling with only three fingers holding on, esp on a cross-fwd stroke when the combination of grip and sideways pressure on the joint can be too much for the little tendon that takes all the pressu...

Great timing Louie. Thanks.

Hi Gail:

Shawn is coming with his Zoom (graduated up (down) from a Detonator). Scott is in China and can't make it, but there is gonna be a bunch! Hope enuf Gunuine Americains show up to make this an international affair rather than a Canadian Spring Break event.
