Re: [Paddlewise] Soft Paddlers (was Soft Water)

How about us foam-core open canoe paddlers....Doug?

Are you tough enough to surf launch an open canoe in 3 foot waves, or do you
always tuck (hide)  your  jello-core in pointy boats with spray skirts?
I have noticed that the bigger the waves, the bigger the talk, and the
tighter the (spray) skirt.  Remember, a skilled seakayaker with practice can
roll their boats, a trick I have yet to master, since I always fall out of
those open canoes, first.

So.. am I a hard core foam cored poseur, or

Glub, glub.
