yarnellboat, On an Astral 300 the ring "usually" stays between the guide loops but not always. Having the steel ring in the center of the back makes things a little more predictable. It nearly eliminates a quick clip of the Ring *and* one of the 2 sewn in belt guide loops.....which would be a very d...

A safety rescue pfd does nothing but subect the wearer to a host of mild to lifethreatening situations. Mine saved my butt on sunday but if you are not familiar with rope systems it can take you out. couple thoughts 1. I only would clip a boat on a class 2+ club trip with tons of swimmers or risking...

I posted this at couple spots and thought you guys would enjoy the whole OC-4 trip too.....that was the first time I think I ever saw OC-4.

A very heart warming hour of your day spent here.

back ferries and paddling backwards seems like a basic skill regardless of boats. Every once in a while I run something (like the dryway)completely backwards the whole run just to work on catching eddies in reverse and getting there with lots of back ferry action. I only pull that "stunt" run in my ...

ultimately it takes about 30 minutes to replace the gasket with a tube of aquaseal so don't fret too much. you can send it back to a pro as well...personally I didn't 3x. I cut out a disk of foam from a 3" thick block from a throw away kayak. I cut it into two halves for easy of use. The diameter ma...

Nessmuck...hmmn....now I trying to figure out who you are...never know who's a lurking and reading :) that loyalsock day stands out as one of my favorite days on the water. Mostly due to the combo of a bunch of OC1's and ice out. I never really got the whole kayak vs canoe in the same eddy....but th...

The loyalsock is a great larger creek. I thought the haystacks were great to melt into from the right....pretty easy to have a good swim at. Most of the OC1's had a very deep brace....we had one new creeker swim and get roped out. I ran it with about 5 openboaters when I gave it a go. I made a prett...

hey you snuck another post in there....I was saying you were being a carnage drama queen for that run away description of being pinned upside down in the Alley's boof landing. it almost made me scared for you brother :lol: Drop in Question: http://americanwhitewater.org/content/Photo/detail/photoid/...

tommy you're being a carnage drama queen.

Mark I'll take you up on that skirt......maybe even at moose fest, THX.
I'm sporting the new helmet so I have to square with you on that.

Toe and GNR are the same weekend. I'm thinking the Asheville trip is gonna get put off especially if I can't get Oceana that same weekend.

@smurf I have a madriver ME. I'm all enthused about OC1 creeking but I'm not running the FullGnarlz in a boat with a gigantic hole in it. I'm also not gonna loan my boat to Tommy for obvious reasons. hahaha :lol: So yes I'm a fairly good kayaker most of the time on class 4-5 and a lack luster OC1'er...

I'm pretty sure it's a first D if that matters . I think it's fun trivia. I put it out there as such as I believe it to be true. Tommy didn't do if for that purpose or even caring about that angle. It simply was the most FullGnarlz run to be had that day in our local area. The 1st D is just somethin...

great post Jdog, I loved the signs...they made me laugh. I'll see what I can do about posting a pic.

I cut a dvd at jeff's. The video may have sucked but the still shots are amazing.
