I agree with this, another reason why I like the Greenland style paddle, easy to store and transport even without taking it apart. michael *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
AH, but that puts you into the other class of people who buy a folding boat and use it to fly off far flung places to paddle. The big disadvantage of a hard boat is the problem of transporting it long distances. BTW When I did have a car that would go 130+ mph, I used it to go that fast. Racing is fun, but expensive. :-)( michael magpi_at_access1.net wrote: > > Michael Neverdosky wrote: > > > > lhays_at_canby.com wrote: > > > > > Any ideas why people would buy "able to be taken apart equipment" if they > > > don't do that? > > > > Maybe for the same reason that people buy cars that can go 150 mph. > > There is the 'cool' factor and the idea that "I might do that someday". > > > > I assure you, I could not care less about being "cool"... but consider > that I now have my boat packed up and ready to take to Baja.... > Bye Bye everyone! :-) > > Karen Hancock > San Clemente, CA > magpi_at_access1.net > 949/487-2602 *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
How about flying with a full length paddle? The take-apart can be carry-on.
