Within our club we've had four damaged > composite kayaks and a broken paddle (Swift). Two of the kayaks (Eddyline and > Current Designs) had multiple hull fractures, one (Necky) had deck fractures, > and another (Perception) had the rudder ripped off and left hanging by the > cables. Among all of the surf carnage, there have been two neck injuries, and > a back and rib injuries, none of which seem serious yet. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
