I wouldn't want my boats left out of the survey, so here is my list. Perception Dancer - this is an old beat up Dancer that I use for white water. Its clunky and not very good for playing in waves or holes, but its forgiving and fits my meager white water skills. Aquaterra Sea Lion - I love this boat. Its plastic, cheap, weighs a ton and handles nicely. I don't worry about smashing into rocks or logs and I can drag it across a beach without cringing. The boat fits me perfectly, rolls easily and is a great all around boat. Its slow, but that's OK. I just don't use it when I'm in a hurry. Seda Glider - This is my new toy. I have the ultra light kevlar version. Its fragile (sorry Seda, but the slightest bump and the boat chips), but fast -- real fast. I plan to use it almost exclusively for racing and race training. --Tim tgmattso_at_ichips.intel.com *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net ***************************************************************************
