> >Here in the Carolinas, guys are using the Necky Looksha II (20'L, 20"W) for >informal racing. > Down here in Florida at the race at Captive Island, Task did not let any boats over 19ft race. All the people with the Looksha II were out of luck ( ========== here on the eastern shore of MD, there are 3 races... April, May, June. which have lots of canoe and kayak classes. for kayaks, mens/ladies lengths under 14.5 ft, to 18, and above 18 is open to any hot kayak or surf ski you care to enter. rumor is that this year will also have senior's classes. there could be a couple of 19 ft wave XL's this year. the hot time last year was at the first race, where a fellow in a down river boat blew the field away... 8 miles in 1hr 1 min. his max stroke rate was supposedly something like 210/min... but that might have been his pulse... who knows? we're old, we're puggy, we paddle. it's fun, it's social, we hate to lose. so if you fell lucky, come on out and join in. and if you got races in your area, let us know. i've seen web sites for ww kayak racing and marathon canoe racing, but marathon kayak races seem to be harder to locate. Where are they and when? bye bye bliven *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Jan 29 1998 - 19:19:22 PST
