During a roll with this type of closure I find I get maybe a cup or two of water in at most. Definately not enough to make safety an issue....." While this may not be a major safety issue, I would recomend thought be given to it in the overall context of the paddling situation with consideration given to the worst possible conditions that may develop therein. Note that many kayaking "accidents" have been attributed to a melange of individually non-catastrouphic causes which in combination contributed to a disasterous result. P.S. The quotation at the end of your posts is tasty and nutritious food for thought. Kick off your party with Yahoo!
