A non-Paddlewise buddy has about fifteen issues of Sea Kayaker, beginning with Volume One, Issue One that he plans to surplus. I suspect shipping is all he wants. Anyone interested please email me and I'll put the two parties together. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

Thanks for the response. My buddy says he thinks one of the ten (!) responders and he will be able to sort it out. I did not realize how popular old issues were. I think Sea Kayaker only has one issue before Volume 5 Issue One (Summer 1988) in stock any more. I believe Matt Broze might have some early issues if someone is trying to fill in their stash. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

Southwind Kayaks in Irvine, CA also has a bunch of old issues.

5 years ago last Friday I woke from coma wanting in the worst way, to paddle my kayak. I was told that most recovery will happen in my first 5 years. Fact is that kayaking requires abilities that have still not returned. That's OK I guess, as I grew in some areas, others got lost... Last Winter I offered up a w/w boat, and a slightly torn drysuit for shipping costs and I was lucky to find owners for them. It's spring in the great Pacific Northwest. In my other life, I would of course be chomping at the bit to hit the water. It's not happening for me. Now, how does one "convert a Paddle, into a Chisel?" More, Why would anyone want to do that anyway???? <grin> I finally got my web site up on it's own URL. The one thing I can do better than pre-injury, is carve wood. I've a gallery on my page showing some of the better stuff. Following this link will show you what I want to sell off to interested parties: http://www.totemwood.us/kayak.htm Here's a brief list of what can be let go: 2 Werner Paddles [one fiberglass, the other graphite] Sailor II compass with deck mount A barely used Kokotat Dry Top used perhaps 3 times Neoprene booties Dry bags 2 skirts [one completely neoprene, the other neoprene and cloth and adjustable] A barely used Standard Horizon HX255S VHF MarineRadio 2 pumps, 2 paddle floats A size Medium PFD I've also a few video's and books to sell off: "Inflatable Kayaking The Complete Guide"-Cecil Kuhne "Whitewater and Seak Kayaking"-Kent Ford "The Costal Kayakers Manual"-Randel Washburne 2 copies of "Puget Sound Current Guide" [North and South Sound & Hood Canal]-Island Canoe, Inc. one still in wrapper. (I'm keeping "Deep Trouble" if for no other reason than George was one of my instructors. Same with the book [I cannot find presently] with Nigel Foster, another one of my instructors in my "previous life.") The video's? 2 copies of "Grace Under Pressure, learning the kayak roll" including Kathy Balyn, Joe Holt, and Tom DeCuir. 1 copy of "Sea Kayaking-Getting Started" with Doug Connor, Marietta Gilman, Debrah Volturno, John Dye, John Lull... (One of the earliest) Old Town Loon Recreational Kayak [1996], made of Royalx I think. It would still be my choice for a rec boat on Michigan inland lakes/streams. Single seater, even allows plenty of room for one's dog as company! Perception Aquaterra Caspia, my first kayak, again a wonderful recreational little kayak, but no room for a dog. In it I caught a 32inch Northern Pike, as well as a few Walleyes on a stream no wider than my living room... Again the value is high enough, they'll be tossed in the trash before I donate them. Due to the "overwhelming" interest in the w/w boat and drysuit, I've put off taking photo's of this stuff until later in the week, or when asked. <grin> I refuse to donate this remaining stuff to St. Vincent DePauls, however I have donated many SeaKayaker magazines to them. One thing I will not let go of however? That's my Paddlewise T shirt! :) If schedule of Quilceda carving show allows, I will try to make it to Pt. Townsend this year. I can be reached at this email addy: gadfly21_at_attbi.com or this telephone number: (360) 373-7422 Just so you know, when out and about and I see kayaks atop a car or truck, I still smile knowing what kayakers know... :) Tommy...
