Re: Ever thought about building a whitewater SUP?

I picked up a cheap inflatable SUP last year. Reasons why it's awesome: All your canoe strokes transfer. Class .5-1 rivers become challenging again. Floating through town to the brewery is a marvelously relaxing way to travel. The same board will work on the Nantahala, the lake, the ocean, and slipp...

Re: Drysuits

I got my drysuit made by O.S. Systems. They were great to work with and can adjust the suit to your dimensions. The suit itself is burly and has neoprene shin and knee guards built in. I like the fact that it's made in the USA by a small, personable company. http://www.ossystems.com/surface/" onclic...

Re: critique my roll?

I have a prelude which I think can be a tricky boat to roll for similar reasons to the Maxim. When my roll is "on" it feels fluid like I'm doing everything in one fluid motion. When my roll is "off," I have to remind myself: hipsnap first, THEN low brace sweep up. I think this works because the timi...

underwater videography

Watching some of those rolling videos, I was struck by the way the hull of the boat looked underwater. The chines were sunk pretty deep probably because the boats were (surprise!) full of water. It seems obvious, but it certainly gives a new perspective to why a boat responds so differently full of ...

WTB: Nitro, Det, or similar (upgrade your beater 4 a new 1?)

Let me know what you've got and what you'd let it go for. I want something pretty short and high-volume, decent rocker. Nitro or Detonator, some older short hull, ...a beat-up ledge? I have a Nitro I can buy locally, (WNC) but I'm hoping for a better bargain. My friend's boat is too nice for my inte...

Re: Anyone planning to produce a longer OC1 in PE?

If an 11 foot PE Ocoee is 53 Lbs, then a 10' PE Ocoee would weigh in closer to 45lbs. (wink wink)

Or craft us one of these: http://www.wwc.co.uk/product_view.php?id=516

These are some products that would garner a lot of attention.

Re: OC1 Carrying

I tend to have to alternate from head to shoulder on long carries. Side foam glued to the inside of the hull makes a tremendous difference. The pressure is distributed and the gunwale doesn't dig in to your shoulder. My foam is beefy, 3" at least, but it's cut 3/4" away from the gunwale so you can s...
