I can't stand portaging, and refuse to do multi trips per portage. On the off chance I'm the Steve in question... The Rolleeze wheels come apart; the frame folds and the wheels come off. The frame fits in her Njak's rear compartment, in either of my T16's holds. If we're packing a lot of stuff, the frame can stay on the rear deck; it's light, not hard to tie down. (A Paddleboy should work about the same.) There's lots of room in the cockpit in front of her feet to store the wheels, and in mine, for that matter. We'll likely be visiting #1 Daughter in Minnesota this summer, and her husband's uncle wants, as usual, to head up to the Boundary Waters area for a couple of days. We'll probably pack the wheels and rent kayaks for that trip, rather than trying to ship our sea kayaks by air when we go. Haven't really looked at using the Rolleze with our Puffin folders, which we took with us as check-in baggage last summer. I suspect they're not stiff enough to make it worth trying. They are a little flexy on the water; they wouldn't be very happy loaded up and being carried or wheeled, I suspect. |
