After buying the kayak I took a "Introduction to Sea Kayaking" course where I got to paddle several touring kaya...er, death traps. Within three weeks of buying my first kayak I started shopping for a new one. I ended up selling the Caspia (for about half what I paid for it) about a month after I bought my second kayak , a fiberglass VCP Skerray. I still paddle the Skerray quite a bit, almost exclusively since my cedar strip Outer Island was broken in half. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
