Hey... is this thing ON?
Is RBP still alive? I haven't been here in a long time... thought I'd drop
by with a question. I hope everyone is having a good start to the paddling season. I'm a canoe kind of guy and have three that I enjoy very much (Bell Northwind, Bell Magic and Mad River Eclipse). I was recently encouraged to buy a kayak to use on an annual sal****er fly fishing trip to Cape Cod. I just picked up a new Wilderness Systems Pungo 140 Angler. I bought a Werner Tybee paddle (in expectation that my canoe background makes me tend to be a high angle paddler?), a bilge pump and a Seal skirt. I live in a rural area in upstate NY and the only "kayakers" I know are paddling oversize plastic pool toys from the local sporting goods chain stores... no real enthusiasts around that I'm aware of to seek guidance from. Can any of you recommend a good reference book or two? I'm particularly fond of Bill Mason's "Path of the Paddle" as a canoeing reference. Is there a similar work in print for kayakers? I've found some interesting instructional vids on Youtube, but I'd really like a good book. What is the kayaker's bible? Thanks for any suggestions, desmobob |
