Looks to me to be a Sawyer Venom paddle.

What about your feet?

Post by Sorcrow »

What a great idea!

Are you using ski bindings? Or snowboard. (or maybe I shouldn't give anyone ideas.....) Will we see you on the slopes this winter?

So if Standingman does this regularly in moving water in his Skeeter does it mean that the L'edge is comparable in stability to the Skeeter? :D

Here's a little vid of me just messing about in the L'Edge at a low water play spot. Might help some to see a mere mortal paddling one.

I filled the L'Edge up as much as I could today and after rolling it came up with about 3" of water left in the boat. I hate to sound like a cheerleader for the L'Edge but I couldn't be happier with it.

Two of us out here in Utah got ours (both decked) from www.Paddleva.com for $1500 SHIPPED. Took three days to get it. Incredible.

Naw, both those silly runs were on feeder creeks into rivers with plenty of water. We actually had a pretty good water season this year, although it's starting to quickly dry up as the dams are stopping releasing water.
