I got around this problem by glueing carpeting on top of foam, which I got from packing crates. However, the foam is degrading badly because it isn't UV-resistant, so I need to replace it this winter. :-) Yesterday it was 62 degrees F. in the Twin Cities -- 9 degrees above the record high for the date set in 1890. The Star Tribune reported that Midwest Mountaineering is selling more kayaks than skis this season. Got my copy of ANorAK last week. Nice article by Greg Stamer about the forward stroke used by the 16-year-old national kayaking champion of Greenland, Maligiaq Padilla. He learned to kayak from his grandfather, and his forward stroke is in some ways quite different from what is usually taught as Greenland style paddling in the U.S. Chuck Holst -----Original Message----- From: Bob Denton [mailto:BDenton_at_aquagulf.com] Sent: Friday, November 27, 1998 8:55 AM To: Stephen Bird; paddlewise Subject: RE: [Paddlewise] Roof Racks Problem with foam is that you can't slide the boat. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Nov 30 1998 - 07:39:18 PST
