if you paddle long enough eventually you are going to come across a situation or know someone involved in a bad situation. be safe, know what you can do ahead of time, and don't die!

i'd have to agree with mikey b. the hip pads on my remix have sticky back velcro. i tried to implement them into my c1 set up but they weren't in the right position, BUT, they were very adjustable by adding or subtracting thin layers of foam. should work for moving a person fore or aft via the backr...

I've used synthetic paddles since I started paddling, and still do. last year I got a Sawyer canyon guide (probably cheap to some of you guys) but I am really starting to like the wooden paddle.

I would second fibArk and the oc slaloms in golden, colorado. i can safely say that i've never seen a canoe manufacturer present at a paddling festival. they aren't going to just show up at your door step wanting a canoe, make a presence and see what happens. it can't hurt, and will definately be fu...

i put a big dent in the stern of my ovation one year. i just pushed it out with my paddle and when i got home installed skid plates. the stern took a couple of more hits like that and the felt plate held fine. i used g flex to attach them.

mine are rivetted right to the base plate. i used the existing holes in the center and got long enough straps to go to the edge of the base plate, the typical length of the ankle straps worked fine for my little chicken legs!

the off side set up was exagerated for demonstration purposes, thanks for the advice though! if your paddle hit something during that fluid motion of transitioning your paddle to the set up position, it's probably the least of your worries. oh, i practice rolls in eddies all the time so that when i ...

dead legs

so, paddling my playboat for extended low water trips of ~6 miles, just to spice things up, has caused me some concern. since it's fall and i haven't been paddling as much, i have to pull over and get off of my saddle for a few minutes every once in awhile. that is fine, my saddle is lower than in a...
