Re: [Paddlewise] Fwd: Re: Evolution Kayaks

I agree with you Nick, and as far as I am concerned to each his own.

And they can smoke them if they have them.

I just don't particularly care for the looks of the Evolution. It gives in
to the whole "theme park America" thing a little to much for my taste. And
if I want to see gondolas I am not going to Vegas either. Not that I don't
care for the boat tail roadster look. I just as soon have it on a boat tail
roadster and not a kayak that tries to look like a boat tail roadster. I am
pure-bred-certifiable-Walmart-America-PWT, but that kayak is just a bit to
tacky for me. I find your rendition of emulating a classic look far more
tasteful.

And I don't care for Velveta cheese either.
