Any true kayaker worth their salt will hang on to their first kayak until there is nothing but thin fibres left. At which time the well known "Ritual of the Parting of the Yak" will begin. This involves significant quantities of fermented spirits, no clothing, a great pile of ballast rocks and a spear gun. I don't wish to go into the details on this list due to the sensitivities of the subscribers. >> BITE your tounge! This subscriber has bought and sold LOTS of kayaks, in fact it is my business! Whenever a new design comes out WE (Alder Creek Kayak and Canoe) make a habit of stocking a least one and putting one in our rental/demo fleet. At the end of summer we usually sell off about 60 to 70 vessels! My *personal* fleet changes less often. are the *cream of the crop* IMHO.

What are us NORTH EASTERN'ers to do... It sort of like being on "Water world", you know that SOMEWHERE out there, there is land.... but where? The NEAREST kayak shop worth anything is 2 hours away (and they aren't much), and after that I might as well go to NJ.
