GP With a Load????
Posted by: oldgeezer1 on Jan-14-13 7:24 PM (EST)

Can anyone comment on how the GP performs with a moderate load (50-60 pounds)?

I have heard one person say it did not do well with a full on expedition load, but I am a pretty light packer. Curious to hear how it might do with a moderate load.

I have paddled the Nordkapp with this load and it seemed to be right in its element...which is not surprising. Most people have said that the Nordkapp paddles best with a load and I think that may be true.
