Tupperware, (actually it is the same stuff ....ergo the moniker), might be more affectionate and less disparaging....... but the truly snobby......... such as skin boat enthusiasts refer to their rotomold cousins as 'yogurt cups'. (I ought to know.....I are one-- that's skin boat enthusiast, not yogurt cup), now that's disparaging! As in one Swedish builder who states, " Why spend your precious water time paddling a yogurt cup?" Everybody starts somewhere..........I started with a homemade skin on aluminum framed monstrosity that my Dad and I blissfully sewed together (as in, ignorance is bliss), that was so crude that it had a square manhole and no need for a spray skirt, as a coaming occurred to no one in construction.........but man, wasn't I king of the Millstone River back in 1963!!! Skupper Pro......why not? Seacret, sure I've had 'em. Kyook......sure! Loved 'em all! Lawd! I've even surfed a Blazer (that's Perception, not Chevy)_in the ocean here in JAW-juh! Now that's about as poor a surf boat as you could ever conceive ('bout all it does really well is backsurf the whitewater pile)___ and I loved them ALL (at the moment). So what ever your hand finds to do do it with all your might! Get wet! In any kayak whatsoever! You won't be sorry. You'll just develop a roving eye. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Jun 21 1999 - 19:16:07 PDT
