Subject: Whi****er in a recreational kayak????

Hey Kayaking people


I wanted to know your thoughts on whitewater in a perception
sparky. I am wondering if anyone has used it in ww and what problems
i would run across.

Also if i could do anything to make it better in ww.


" Not looking to buy another kayak, gonna take her there no matter
what, looking for some, fearless advice!!!!!


thanks,


Just notify your next of kin and have a ball. Oh, you might want to jot
down a little note specifying who you want to leave the Sparky to... If
they
ever find it.



I am looking for info from normal people, not people who sat in the
front row in school and held the teachers hand . I am sure there have
been people who have went in whitewater with a barrell, so save your
8 year old girl saftey for someone else.


And you save your 6 year old girl sensitivity and lack of sense of humor.

You said you wanted thoughts. You got thoughts.

Like I said. Have a ball.



So why did you even bother to reply to the post????? And if you
call that humor you got a big problem! I stated what i was looking
for, you just chose to reply with a faggots response. I dont need
a fag like you to tell me to notify my next of kin!!!

You were that kid , who everyone made fun of, becuase he was scared to
do anything. So save your fears for yourself, people like me arent
interested in hearing from ( girly men like you) LOL , Your
response shows your lack of guts, stick to replying to people who want
to hear your views, i DONT!!!

You're right. I'm sorry. I should have been more constructive. To that
end; you asked if there was something you could do to improve the Sparky in
a white water environment. Check out the product offered at the following
web site. You may benefit from it.

Judging by the eloquence of his last response, I suspect he and Timmy will get
along just peachy. They can rant with each other endlessly.

As for constructive suggestions, here's one: Sell the Sparky and get a real
boat! Sparkys and their ilk are meant for little more than floating around in
calm ponds. If you want to paddle whitewater, get a whitewater boat, the
necessary safety gear and some instruction. If you just want to be cheap, then
David's comment to notify your next of kin was right on the mark. If you need
corroboration for that statement, go to www.acanet.org and read their report
"Critical Judgement" on paddling deaths.

And while you're online, see if you can buy a sense of humor or Ebay...

Just a word on the "cheap" comment. There are plenty of inexpensive
used WW boats available from a variety of sources - www.paddling.net for
one. Used WW boats in the $200 to $300(US)are not uncommon.
