Hi Erick, Don't tell them mate, just do what you do. How many of those other boaters would solo sections of the Ubaye? How many of those other boaters take a genuine interest in improving their boating? How many of those other boaters would drive from the North coast of Scotland to the Southern Lake...

....I would wait even longer than I am going to have to wait for a L'Edge in the green that Craig mentioned a while back....
....Wood trim is oiled and ready to go....
....Just have to wait now....
....bummer....

Hi....

I would be happy if I had one.... Next option, swim Atlantic paddle one home.... Possibly better that waiting months.... Bummer....

Kelvin.... losing patience....

Hi Guys,

Some great shots in there! I'm really stoked to be in it...

Cheers,

Kelvin.

Erick,

Oh but yes....this was a dream. No l'Edge, no warm waters, no being good at this.

No dream mate, you have the 'mega clean' falls up there in Scotland!

This paddle looks very similar to a Galasport Magnum, the ridge on the back of the Magnum slices through the water better than you would think..

Hi Folks,

I got very very close to hand rolling my Zoom without any real practice. I think that I would be able to hand roll the Taureau with a couple of hours practice.

This has no reflection on other parts of my anatomy but for the record I have very small hands!

Kelvin.

This may help...

John,

Ha! Sorry, I thought is was going to be some thread about river etiquette!

Cheers,

Kelvin.

John,

Not sure what post you are referring to but the kayaker had the right of way. We boat together a lot and knew each others intentions.

Kelvin.

Hi Folks, Just a quick one. The scull out and flipping the paddle over is only a set up, there is no pressure during this phase. I sometimes go under back deck, sometimes knife the blade to the surface. Also, the Zoom doesn't usually stall! In this instance there is no underwater scull, I just hang ...

Here you go...

Thanks Dave for the footage.. http://vimeo.com/15808148

Josh,

Your C stroke sounds like something that Becky Mason would do in a 16 foot canoe! I doubt it has a place in the world of white water boats, slowing hull speed and an in-active blade at the same time! No thanks..

Are you at the canoe symposium this weekend mate?

Take it easy,

Kelvin.

Shep, You are correct with the description of the C stroke, in a white water boat you would tend to favour a stern pry at the end over a J. It has it's uses in boats of all sizes but used at the wrong time is a very in-affective stroke. I use it sparingly my Taureau as it kills hull speed in an alre...

Josh,

Here you go mate:

You can leave the bulkhead unglued and use different size spacers between that and the secondary bulkhead. This boat now has hip pads.

Hope this helps,

Kelvin.
