Whi****er in a recreational kayak????
I'll have to read Timmy's book sometime Why not just have someone drive screws through your toes? I think his sponsonbabble is hysterical. When he was getting it on with the folks back on Wavelength, it was like having a ringside seat at the circus. I love it. |

I agree with felsenmeer. Not enough boat and not enough experience
and training are the formula for disaster. There is a reason why they make WW, rec and touring boats. Read the subject line WW in a rec boat? Doesn't that answer the question. |

Let's see some good, solid, factual info... Now I get it :-) Obviously "good, solid, factual info" will not be forthcoming anytime soon. I'll have to read Timmy's book sometime (assuming I can get a copy at the library so I don't have to plunk down any cash for it...) Then you'll probably have to buy it in E-book form, as the book is not "published" in the traditional sense. It's just available from an E-book website. Think about it, what publisher would invest any money in this crackpot? -- Regards Brian |

"John Fereira" wrote in message . .. (ckayak) wrote in news:1bd7a8d0.0308122031.59e7ec16 @posting.google.com: Categorically stating that it's unsafe to paddle whitewater (even class II or lower) in a recreational boat implies that a whitewater boat somehow makes a paddler safer. Boats don't make paddlers safer. Experience, training, and common sense makes paddlers safer. I disagree completely. Non-WW designs are much more edgy, much harder to keep upright, and much more likely to result in a swim. They can be paddled successfully in WW but it takes experience and skill which a novice does not possess. The original poster in this thread just didn't want to buy another hull and figured he could take his rec kayak in WW. My first thoughts were, this guy is obviously inexperienced with WW and even if he possessed the skills to complete a WW run in a rec kayak, who wants that headache ? It can be done but it's no fun ! Doesn't this discussion belong in the WW paddling newsgroup anyhow ? Te Canaille |
