Hallo everybody, I´back from vacations (yes, it´s summertime here in Argentina). Talking about pumps, check Sea Kayaker Mag.of June 1999, Page 7, Peter Carter´s note about them. I personally agree with him. If you don´t have it then check it at www.acslink.net.au/~pcarter/pumps.html . As a "free time" kayak manufacturer, (I still couldn´t find the way to make a living with it) I don´t include pumps as a standard in my kayak because: 1.- As there is a very personal "taste" for kayaks, there is one for pumps, a nobody likes to be forced to pay for what they don´t like. 2.- Keep the price lower. 3.- I still don´t have a final position made about them. Anyway, I´ll always prefer to rely on a bomb proof roll than on any pump system, but of course, this is not excuse for not having one.
