There's a difference between use and abuse. If you can reasonably avoid it, and still do the damage, it's abuse. If you're out having fun with it, and stuff happens, that's use, and experience for the paddler. It's all worth it in the grand scheme of things. Again, dif'rent strokes for dif'rent folks.

Reminds me of my first trip in a new WW canoe, lining up to run Edge of the World, a Class IV on the Amicolola River in North Georgia.

My Current Designs Extreme is about two months old and has already taken a pretty good beating to the deck and hull. At about the two year mark I imagine it will sink. I guess you can count me in the "drive it, er, I mean 'paddle it' like ya ain't got a dime in it" club. :-) *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
