G'day, Thanks everyone for the information on drying a Kahuna and your experience of its performance at sea. It takes me up to three days to dry the Klepper, so the Kahuna seems ideal in this regard as well as for its portability - on the other hand I know a Klepper will stand up to conditions I never want to be in. The Kahuna sounds as if it's close to its limit in sea conditions which are close to my limit as well - perhaps not much margin for error there. By the way I can roll a Klepper but certainly not with Dubside's finesse as Ralph describes - just your very average Pawlatta roll - it wasn't any harder than rolling a hardshell once I got my knees locked in, which I think means you have to be the right shape to roll it. Presume similar consideration applies to the Kahuna. Guess its time to go prospecting for gold, so I can afford a nice dry Sunday best boat as well. But it would have to be black with white trim! And a fleece lined seat. All the best, PeterO *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
