Been thinking of getting a new kayak

Do it, do it, do it, do it. That way I can take a paddling vacation in Sweden in the future.

I'm hoping to pick up a Wavesport Diesel this weekend.

And you aren't paddling? Wow. If I had whitewater that close, I'd have taken up the sport a long time ago. I have a three hour drive to the nearest river. I'm envious.
