Anyone who looks down his\her nose.............well what more need be said.
I'm a white water guy but also VP of my club and support the flat water side
just as much. It's all about having fun on the water no matter how one
chooses to do it. I NEVER complain about rafters either! :-) As far as one
boat does it all? No such thing. I have 2 play boats, 2 creekers, several
teaching boats, a touring boat, and 2 solo open boats. Most end up with a
"quiver" of some sort.........I would think the pedal boat to be a good work
out

The hobie thing you spoke of....is that the boat with bicycle pedals?

Yeah. Some people claim that they're the greatest thing since sliced
bread. I'm not taking any position, just collecting data.

I'd expect a purist to look down his or her nose at it. I know that
when any machine tries to do *everything*, it usually does nothing very
well. It might work well enough for day outings on our fla****er bays,
though.
