touring" paddle ?

There was a rafting death Saturday Sept.27 on the N. Fork Feather River on the
Cresta Run. It was my understanding a raft with 5 passengers flipped on

Hello there. It seems that our friend has been missing for some time now.
I'm ok with that.
I guess that my posting of his address and phone number shut the dribble
off... I think that it is the only thing I have been able to brag about my

have a new one on order. I like it's neutral paddling character in all

So I went out and demo'd some CLC boats on Wednesday.  What a wonderful
experience.  I'm really looking forward to getting one of these boats
and beginning the building process.  I was hoping that my demo would
help me decide for certain that I wanted a single versus the tandem, ...

Hi all, I saw the post below on this subject and thought I would
return to RBP and post about it.
   I have a Prodigy and like it.  It is very fast, faster even than
my Rival (which I think is the best tupperware WW canoe ever made).

We are paddling in scotland next week.  One of our party of three has
