This will take soon getting used to
cominco | June 24, 2009I new blog page may be a little more difficult to get used to than a new kayak but it should be a lot drier. Now that I know I have this feature I will try and use it on a regular basis. Thanks to Jeroen for providing this place and Playak a great site all round.
Summer was a little late in arriving in Yellowknife and that shortens an already short season. We have lots of padling to try and squeeze in before the snow flies. This year I will work on a few new roll styles and also see if i can get anywhere with the squirt boat. My back and the Squirt boat don’t see eye top eye on anything. I have some damaged nerves in my spine and they seem to live right where the suirt wants me to bend,all and it makes for very short sessions. I thought this might happen when orderd the boat but, knew that if I can lick the problem that squirt boating will be well worth the effort.
Wish list for 2009 paddling season, Master backdeck roll, double a double sea kayak, anything I can in the squirt and a sweep roll would be nice. Should all go well by the end of the seson I should have a C to C, sweep and backdeck roll. The C to C is my combat roll at the moment and I really like it. However I see the value in mastering as many as possible and it is fun to try.
I bought a new PFD made by Mountain Equipment Co-op and it has now replaced old reliable. My old PFD is still in great shape and I like it , the new one is however heaps more comfortable and I will use it. My next investment is a drysuit and I look forward to that.
Heres top a long and sweet summer season friends, enjoy, get wet, have fun come home every time covers it for now .Cheers, Greg
