@Larry, when the Glenner has enough water to run I will go out and shoot some proper flat flying and landing boofing in a L'Edge, not just to make you happy but to make me really happy!

Paddle safe and don't eat too much Easter chocolate!

I hope this helps, Boofing and Plugging The boof is about 4metres, 13feet, it is an easy "water" boof. As you can see the bow of my Taureau remains level in flight and above the water on landing, a real flat boof in a canoe? I think so. The plug is one of my all time favourites, the second fall on t...

I added additional rope handles on the thwarts, thus making the L'Edge way easier to pick up and manoeuvre, onto your shoulder, car, luggage trolley, tricky portage etc. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HU6CptvsveQ/TNwFY9ECllI/AAAAAAAAA5E/CjHNrOWkFt0/s320/IMG_8656.JPG I also have them on my Taureau http://...

Hi I have a 2 piece Kober S power that fits in the back of my S'Fly, Taureau and L'Edge so I don't think you need a 3 piece, just stick with 2, less joins = less weak points http://kober-moll.de/en/Firma/the-championspaddles.html http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HU6CptvsveQ/SwLWFNIPGMI/AAAAAAAAAxE/JuTt7uJK...

I think NevaFull would work in a Prelude, it might need more or bigger holes than the Taureau but the buoyancy in the boat compared ot how much water can fit in ratio I think is positive. I put 2 extra holes in my SpanishFly to speed up the process. I am sure that if I had the time and the brains to...

This is kinda funny to read; I am not a pump guy because I am the sort of person whose cell fone battery runs flat in the middle of an important conversation. Relying on a battery to do the same job slower than my nevafull system does with gravity makes no sense to me. One thing that really interest...

NO MATTER WHAT WELDS suck...... I disagree there are people out there who can weld well, plastic welding done properly is as good as it was before. I had 30cms cut out of a SpanishFly and professionally welded back together in 2004 the boat is still in one piece, and I ride my boats hard http://2.b...

The Vorderrhein is one of the two rivers that joins to become the Rhein that then flows out of Switzerland, up through Germany, Holland and into the North Sea. The most popular paddled section is from Ilanz to Reichenau;...

First up thanks for all your props, sadly there isn't much more footage cos we were all busy boating and not filming. It takes time to set up a shot and when you just wanna blast down and have fun the camera often just gets left in the truck. The "Watermelon seed" is one of the sickest landings I ha...
