He had a full dry suit, however he made a couple fatal errors. His neck gasket was ripped, held together only with tape, it did not last long in the white water. He launched with the ripped gasket; I guess he also figured since he was an expert he wouldn't flip. Always pays to check those gaskets before each trip. -- MZ visit my website: http://www.mzuschlag.com *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
