I'm not at all sure of that here in Central NJ. Many of the outdoor stores here no longer carry canoes, only kayaks, and mostly the recreational type. The Perception Swifty is a really big seller. It's cheap and cute (!). I've also talked with many such paddlers and they view their boats as just another gym machine. That really scares me. They can go forward but the Concept of a draw or a brace is completely unknown to them. Nor are they aware that there are paddling clubs, organized instruction, etc. That, too, scares me. >*************************************************************************** *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Sep 30 1999 - 19:42:15 PDT
