Another Sealion paddler with rudder here. I use my rudder and I like it. I really dont care what the purists think. I am out there because I love the water and paddling, and if the rudder makes it easier, FINE! However on a lighter side, there is one problem I experienced with the rudder. While paddling down the Allegheny river, I paddled within 5 ft. of a deer, that was crossing the river in very shallow water. My aluminum rudder was down and struck a rock and alerted the deer of my presence. He had no idea I was there, he never saw or heard me until then. I was so close I could have petted him. It was COOL!!! Dana __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
