When I rented a Sprinter in Hawaii I asked if I could get knee straps for it. After searching around for awhile they could only find one of them. I was really hoping to try rolling it but with only one knee brace I would have just fallen out of the boat when I capsized. I was able to brace and skull on one side though and it actually worked pretty well. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
