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


You're always welcome

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


I have no idea what is good/bad in/out anymore... Used to have an Ekstedt something or the other... All kevlar with carbon reinforcements here and there (mainly around the seat area). At the time all-carbon kayaks were coming out, but then they added a minimum weight rule in order to eliminate them, as they were quite expensive and also quite fragile.

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.


Well, it's not very big and 75% of it's off limits during the summer due to wildlife preserve / bird protection. But some part are fairly technical and fun... hmmmm...
