They look awesome! I'll definitely pick up a couple!

I had been working on my OC1 rollfor a while and hadn't quite been able to make it happen. I asked a friend and he had me start it from, a low brace - I mean a real face-in-the-water type low brace and work at it from there and then practise it a bunch and then do it from fully upside down. Worked f...

Good stuff Ric - I only got ton see Fast Runner on video. You really gotta be impressed by those shots though. BRRRRR! Matt PS. Was it you who made the treats that were passed around at the Potomac Armada? I seem to recall something like that. I'd love to get the recipe for those if you have one. Th...

Hi Joey

Didn't know if you'd be checking this - hence my previous reply. Hope you're having an AWESOME trip and look forward to catching up at the Ottawa.

Yeeahaaa!

You rock Sara!

I alwasy feel I have lots of boats until I see other folks list theirs. As to the wife, well, Jo has one of her own and the tandem (still unoutfitted) was a joint purchase :) My list Detonator OC1 Bliss Stick Blitz Special C1 (conversion) Bliss Stick Lifestyler (kayak - currently trying to sell) Plu...

Look up Camille on the member list and send her an email. She and Joey were the ones that made the shirts and I think they still had a few or were going to make some more.

Howdy Ric Not sure if you are being serious or not? :) Anyway, Nunavut is the newest province (I think that's the wrong term, but I'll use it anyway) of Canada. It's in the far far north east of the "NOrthwest Territories" - see the map at http://www.arctictravel.com/maps/nunamap.html. The Nunavut G...

Gudday I have an Esquif Detonator with some of their early factory outfitting. Beluga saddle and double straps with yakima footpegs. I also have ~2"high (at the center) 3" wide 6"long ankle blocks (I think they were standard ones I bought somewhere). The combination is great - really solid and very ...

Hiya Camille

I think that's a great idea. A suggestion for the beer selection - bring something from where you are from (or where you've been if you haven't been home in a while)

Glad to hear you guys are having a blast!

Matt

See you there Kalin. Might only be able to do Sat & Sun since I'm taking Mon and Tues of the previous week off to drive back from Wausau, but I'll be there, hades or high water (preferably the later )

Matt

I think that if they provide a decent plastic form that is readily mounted in the current holes in different kayaks (ie. easily adjusted to fit different boats) and provide just, for examples some very basic foam padding with it (thin layer on the base for under the knees, 3/4" on the seat, or provi...

OK, so here's my info: Kayak-OC1-C1 Right handed and paddle on my right Interestingly, although I am definitely right-dominant, I used to play left wing or left-midfield in soccer - so you can train to use your offside relatively easily. When I started paddling OC1, I was pretty well teaching myself...

Hi Camille Just wanted to make a quick comment - the one performance characteristic you won't get out of the Detonator or Nitro is edginess - that double chine structure has no grab. It's pretty unstable initially and then really stable on secondary, if that's what you were meaning. I'd guess the Ni...

Gudday Camille My wooden Mitchell is a 56", but remember that the length depends very heavily on the blade shape. As Tim mentioned, it's also a very personal decision. I read at one point, that technically, when sitting in your boat, with the grip hand at shoulder level, and the shaft hand at a comf...
