Costs of transporting one generally runs higher on airlines and they need a van for ground transportation (i.e. not a simple cab). During transportation, you have to protect the flanges where the parts meet. I know of only a couple of individuals who have owned one. Generally they were not satisfied in the long term. If you want portability/storage, etc. then you should go with a folding kayak or a top of the line inflatable. ralph diaz *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
