Re: Big Waterfall Running with critical thinking

I really like the cutting foam plugs out idea. Last spring I had a real nice boof on a 15 footer and my back was sore for a week from landing too flat

Re: installing grab loops?

I've heard the tubing is good to use for a low loop for lining a tripping canoe. That way water doesn't leak in. Up high near the deck a big knot thru a washer on the inside should be fine (just my thought) edit; drill holes insert rope, cord/webbing thru hole and thru washer on inside tie a knot. r...

Re: Tallulah releases, USGS

Gone are the days of drive there and hope for water. With so many gages being cut (all over) is there a way to keep some of them "up" maybe with just the occasional "tweaking" that seems to cost an arm and a leg? I know that many (paddlers and fishermen) rely on gages to plan on trips and local busi...

Re: Need so outfitting help

If you can't have a spotter to watch from shore you can do this; Take your boat with saddle unatatched, a pencil, and a bailer down to the shore of any small body of water big enough to float in. Put saddle roughly where you think it should be. Kneel on saddle while floating in canoe. Use bailer to ...

Re: What New/Used boat

Octane is 70 lbs +/-. I think you are a candidate for a Millbrook Big boy (Fat boy) or similar. Just don't take it down a slightly lubricated mountainside gully and you'll be very happy

Re: Higher Octane -my 1st foam foray

There is a chance that you may have to carve out some knee area foam for proper boat trim and knee/leg fit so make sure you can still adjust forward if needed

Re: Extreme discomfort in l'edge

It may be a saddle trimming issue. Does the saddle need to be shaved away where it contacts the inner part of your thighs? It made a difference for me but did not eliminate the issue entirely. I paddle a different boat but I know that feeling
