It can be a really expensive sport (I still can't seem to afford a new boat 
what with college for the kid, college for the wife, misc. expenses, etc. 
and am waiting with baited breath for a Current Design or VCP to show up in 
the mail box from some unknown angel kayak supporter!  I think I have a 
better chance of working at saving more for the future new boat!) .

I also believe that there may be enough used but Unused equipment sitting 
around in closets and garages of folks on this list to outfit an armada of 
kayakers.  It is a shame that more local clubs don't hold swap meets or 
collect unwanted equipment to help folks out.

Equipment can be made from scratch, at some cost, or old equipment brought 
back to life.

Just a thought
