Try this:

then go back to their channel and look around. Prepare to waste a few hours, and possibly be amazed.

Re: 2014 Nomad 8.5 with Dagger Saddle $650

If you already had pics of the install, I'd like to take a look at them, but don't take any on my account. I'm not in the market for another boat right now, but I am thinking about putting one of my Dagger saddles into a Mamba that is cluttering the basement and I'm curious about how you bridged the...

Re: Anchor points, suppliers and bonding.

Riverken: The boat is hilariously good fun , but I've got little context for it compared to other open canoes. It's my first open boat. Compared to my Cascade it has sharp edges, (I suppose that, compared to a Cascade, everything has sharp edges), but it also has enormous secondary stability, so tha...

Anchor points, suppliers and bonding.

So, I have a Composite Creations Bulldog, which is a riot to paddle, but I need to move the outfitting. The boat came with a Mike Yee set-up, I'm guessing that whoever installed had much longer legs than I do. I want to install a second set of outboard anchors for both the knee and thigh straps and ...

Re: Lost my Roll

When my roll goes away, which it does with annoying frequency, it's generally either because I'm not keeping my head down or because I'm forgetting to pull up my onside knee/snap my hip. Basically trying to roll with my arms alone.

Also, a big thumbs up for the Philip Prince videos.

"Machine" outfitting?

I was paddling with a friend this weekend, talking about outfitting. (I had fallen out of my Cascade after running a small ledge upside-down) He was an old school c-boat guy back in the day, and mentioned "machine rigging" in slalom boats. I thought the machine set-up was a bulkhead, much like what ...
