Look for an old ForPlay - very Sith like actually. But heavier;)
Otherwise, if you can find one, a Wheelboy.

Re: Hand Roll
... off of as a way to wean themselves off a paddle for rolling. Some boats are easier to hand roll than others. I think I've hand rolled my Acrobat, Wheelboy, and Mentor. I should try the Sith one of these days, but right now I'm not sure I could hand roll any of them as my core is pretty weak... ...

Re: Boat of the Week - Drakkar Wheelboy / BigBoy
I got in the darn thing and knew I had to have one. Great design - great for ELF runs, for park and play and even big water play. Squeakyknees paddled the UG with his a couple times that I know of. Its heavy yes.. but the plastic is bomber. It will be around at the end of the world. It fits in the c...

Re: Boat of the Week - Drakkar Wheelboy / BigBoy
Bruce,
Do you have the "nameless" version as well? I seem to recall you, Randy, myself, and one? other had the first shipment.
I'm still pleased with how that all worked out... even if my boat flew to the west coast (over the east coast) and then had to travel back again:)

Re: Boat of the Week - Drakkar Wheelboy / BigBoy
Well.....I have a Wheelboy and I intend to hang onto it. It is a good park boat. Use it at the Reno Whitewater Park. Decent surfer too. It is comfortable and my knees are wide and low in the boat for great control and leverage - you can 'steer' the boat with your knees. Yes it IS heavy.

Re: Drakkar Wheelboy F / S
Why do you live so far away from me, you got to get your priorities straight. . . Nay, HH -- you just have to think outside the box. Actually, I bought the WB from a boater in Maine. What's stopping you from reversing the procedure?? :wink: (Actually, a deal's pending -- you may be too late!) Rick

Why do you live so far away from me, you got to get your priorities straight. Great boat, another time and another place and it would be sold, unless it already has. Peace... "Every where is within walking/paddling distance if you have the time." Stephen Wright

Normal onside roll has vanished. Last night I was messing about and when trying to roll, i came up on a bow stall ...

Re: Wheelboy and Bigboy
That last pic is just too sterotypical --
The American motif: bright, flashy. . .
The Canadian motif: drab, modest. . .
