Boat Forum / Paddle Boats / September 2006

Had been storing my surf ski in the back yard all year long - rolled up in some
Astroturf-type outdoor carpeting.
After about five years, the fiberglass tape covering the deck/hull seam started
delaminating and had to be replaced.   Other than that, I couldn't see any

oYou are gonna laugh at this. Has any one tried sea kayaking whilst
carrying (I mean stowed on deck) a mountain bike?
The plan so far is for 3 of us (hopefilly one experienced kayaker) and
me and my mate to do various short crossings to hebridean islands

I'm going to purchase a tandem dry boat soon and would like
recommendations for a boat.  Looking at the Pelican Pursuit 140T DLX

I was following behind  this guy about 10 ft for entire race. It took
quite a bit of effort to steer to stay behind him. I tried hard to get
closer but for some reason I couldnt. I guess I could have got behind
someone going slower.

Not sure if this is the an ok topic for this forum. Planning a trip
near Salt Point or near the outlet of the Russian River beginning of
October. Car Camping and day trips on my Sea Kayak. Looking for a spot
that has a nice cove to launch and camp sites near the launch site. Oh

There were these two girls in a double kayak that stayed ahead of me
for entire race. They were windmilling and it did not look like they

proper race stroke and wing blade. I was using a necky tesla. First

Last weekend me and a couple of buddys did a 22 mile paddle along the
American River here in Northern California.
I never had that much fun in my life. Got the kayak less than a month

Hi friends,
Just a quick reminder that our 19 Mile Ohio River Fall Foliage Paddle is
coming up this Sunday, September 17.
All the info is on our website at www.OhioRiverWay.org.

do you know any good stretching or balancing excercises for kayak
