Sad news but great memories.

Glen is correct. Bureaucracy and insurance were becoming hinderances to the direction the FS committee wanted to go. Insurance was considerably less expensive and easier to implement for individual instructors who were running smaller classes outside the major events. It was quite an ordeal to...

Don’t think it’s foam showing. Looks like the plastic layer before the foam to me but certainly could be epoxy. Don’t think it’s much to worry about. Keep paddlin’!

What a great experience and one your son will remember forever. Thanks for taking us along.

Looks like some very enjoyable paddling! Thanks for posting

Seating position is key…I strive for 60% weight on the seat and 40% on the knees (assuming no aggressive FreeStyle moves). I just deal with the small amount of irritation by extending one leg periodically if full on seating is impractical.

Wow, lots of fall color in September!

Small flyswatter works better than my hands.

I know how you feel about your old friend. Sold all my boats except one and miss them all…..sorely miss a particular few. Good luck with the repair. I’m sure your first paddle in it will bring back the best memories.

Always love seeing lots of pictures, thanks

Great boat, great pics, great place to live for canoeing. Welcome!

That is a beauty. Congrats. Nice to know custom work is still available these days.

We all love all trip reports, thanks.

Have fun and post pics!

There are many to consider. Hemlock Perigrine, Swift Keewaydin 15, Northstar Northwind solo are some I would start with for lake travel. If you intend miles wide crossings you might opt for something with a bit more depth to handle large boat wakes. Maybe a Prospector type hull? Swift makes a...

When Karen Knight first came to the Adirondack Freestyle Symposium I was teaching the first class she attended…blew me away instantly. Told her there was no need for her to continue in the class and sent her to a more advanced one. Describe something and she would do it perfectly…the first time...

Looks like Royalex to me
