a new method to make hole in your kayak
I've posted a couple of entries to my weblog from paddling local rivers
in northern Colorado, the Poudre and Big Thomson, after returning from Texas Water Safari. http://users.frii.com/uliasz/weblog/ During my second paddling on Big T, I noticed with a surprise that my Sisson Nucleus kayak was taking water! And I didn't hit any rocks or logs ... Marek http://www.MarekUliasz.com |
Marek,
My feet supronate badly (over 45 degrees) and when paddling the ankle bones are pressed against the hull. Since this is fairly uncomfortable after long paddles, I placed a thin sheet of insulating foam (the kind that go under your sleeping bag) beneath my ankles. When it wears out, I just replace the foam (it is pretty clear to me when this happens - painful reminders are very effective). That I was protecting the hull in this way wasn't something I considered, but whatever works. If you don't have my anatomical quirks, you might choose a material that is a bit tougher.
