Greg, Great write up on the foot pump installation. > Another suggestion that came out of the discussion a few months ago was to get the spray skirt on while upside down after performing the reentry piece of a reentry and roll. While it is (still) a difficult process, I've found that with practice that I can do it reliably so that once I roll to the surface, I'm prepared to use the foot pump and to deal with the above water conditions. What kind of spray skirt or does it matter? I have a difficult time maintaining balance on calm water while reaching behind me to get the spray skirt started and typically rock back and forth. I have a hard shell and Perception neoprene skirt which is about as loose as it gets. I had seen previous mention during re-entry discussions of putting the spray skirt on upside down and was wondering if they were using a different type of skirt, maybe one of those touring skirts with suspenders. *************************************************************************** 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 Wed May 12 1999 - 07:35:32 PDT
