I love it when people describe 30 year old Kleppers - I'm looking forward to paddling mine in 30 years time! You asked if anyone had rolled a double Klepper - I'ld like to extend the question - has anyone ever rolled a single or a double Klepper? And what technique did they use? (The Klepper I was referring to in my earlier post was a single Klepper Aerius).
