Paul - <<....about different methods to keep the drysuit dry. Dry after bladder elimination, that is....>> I'm sorta hoping that you were joking, at least in part. But.... See the video "Aquatic Man" distributed by John Heath (1142 Thornton Rd Houston TX 77018 - others on thsi list will have his e-mail and URL addresses). It's a great video showing some of the techniques used by John Petersen, 1997 (?) Greenland National Kayaking Champion. As it applies to your question - Mr. Petersen demonstrates an inuit technique for resolving your problem. Place paddle across rear deck, fix in place with hand, then foot, **stand up**, and let go! [And aside from that, this is just a superb video for anyone who's interested in sea kayaking. Mr Heath also distributes "Rolling with Maligiaq" which I haven't seen yet, but which is reportedly also excellent.] Oh, and if you do rent a drysuit, please tell me about it. I'll rent whatever *wet*suits that outfitter has, instead.
