Myself and Firewalker Wendler. Fri thru tues.

I never said not to do a cross stroke, I do them, but some people do say don't ever switch. There's a reason for both.
Yea, I'll be at alf sat, sun, mon. (first wknd)

First thing I noticed was in photo #1 he's paddling left and in photo #2 he's paddling right. Does someone care to explain to me again why they think switching is wrong or ineffective? Maybe he didn't know he was doin it wrong. :o BTW: Thanks for the photos, really cool. Would love to see some video...

I own a esquif prospector and would highly recomend it for you. I've owned other 16'ers and carried alot more. In comparisson the esquif is substantially lighter weight than other plastic 16'ers. I can't speak for the durability yet, even tho I've owned the boat for a few years, I only use it a coup...

Where can I view some photos of the boats?
Doesn't exactly sound like my cup o tea but I'm certainly all for new designs and boat companies.

I've had a couple of outrages and I outfit so my knees are ahead of center and my butt is behind center. This way you can weight the front or rear as you paddle. The outrage has some really nice fast lines behind center (weight on butt) but responds much better to crossing eddy lines and catching ed...

Bill Mason-
Maybe not a racer or a class 5 boater but he made big contributions to the sport by exposing more folks to wilderness canoeing. That's also a huge part of our sport that is overlooked most of the time.

Ahh, 2 braces instead of 1 down the steeps. That's style.

Anyone who says or thinks kayaking is easy hasn't spent much time in one. I've boated just about every type of craft and the kayak is no easier than anything else. The very best boaters I know are kayakers and I'm thankful I can boat with them. I paddle a canoe because I just prefer the canoe but th...

The boat belongs to my uncle. He's an open boater who doesn't really even boat anymore. Back in the day he thought a C1 would work for him. This is after years open boating. He didn't get into the C1. He used it only once or twice, I believe on the middle yough, and got back in his whitsell (which i...

Anyone have any interest in a gyra max used once on class 3? Factory outfitting, practically a brand new boat. Kept in a clean warm basement, hanging since it was brand new.

How bout I pay you for every stroke in the video that's not a brace or a roll and you credit me the same amount for each brace and roll you do in the video.
Oh wait, that means you'd owe me. That defeats the purpose.
Sorry, I was just brainstorming.
