Have been out on Paradise with my wife,and other times with children 8&6.Will solo on it this week.The single overhand knot inside the front carry handle failed while carrying the boat over grass on its maiden voyage.Wilderness,try a double overhand or a figure 8 stopper knot.The boat has worked well.Alittle ruddering by the rear paddler is necessery to turn the boat quickly,or in a wind or current.The front paddler cannot see the rear paddle so it is up to the rear person to adjust his stroke accordingly.If the rear calls a stroke or if you sing a cadence the two people get in stroke nicely.Im 47,I can get it on top of my suv,take it off easy,But putting it on after paddling is sketchy. Careful how you store your plastic kayak this winter.The net has a lot of good info on the subject. |
