Re: Big drops in an Ion?

Yes, I would say for big drops, the Ion has a tendency not to plug the landing, so while you may be high and dry, you may also lose some momentum at the base of a falls. I think its as a much an advantage as a disadvantage, and how many open boaters are running 20+ foot waterfalls that you really wa...

Re: It's a sickness...

This is awesome! Can anyone comment on the wings? I have an old slalom boat with wings and have debating cutting them off and glassing over. It is commonly accepted that wings were not an ideal design element? Is it worth the work to cut them off? Sorry to hijack, but we dont see too many threads ab...

Re: A serious question...

I'll hop in kayaks from time to time, usually to give a kayaker a chance in my canoe. It sucks. My legs fall asleep within 15 minutes because i think i don't have enough natural paddling on my butt and I get splashed in the face with water all day. Yes, kayaking is fun and surfing holes and waves in...
