Peter, et all.
I am on the Tamar. In the north of the island
Most of the people I paddle with have the Cape Charles (CLC) kayaks.

A funny story, we were paddling in the south, the weather was quite rough
and there was an 8-10ft swell. One of the guys in a Cape Charles came down
the face of a roller and buried the nose of his kayak up to the coaming into
the back of the wave in front. This stopped the kayak and then the following
wave rolled over the top of the back of the kayak. He was totally submerged
up to his waist. The look on his face was hilarious, then he popped back up
to the surface like a cork.
Was a good 4 day trip.
Cheers
Wilky

Those
