As title says. Give me a rough description of where you lost them and what they are and we can go from there.

Re: FS: Wavesport Siren £140 Nearly New Little Peoples Boat
£140 would be ideal, I've kept dropping for the price for over a while now, For a nearly new boat, I think the price is pretty reasonable.
There aren't many surface scratches let alone any deep ones. Used twice on a short g2 stretch of river and a few times in the pool.

Up for grabs: A relatively unused Wavesport Siren. There are only surface scratches on it from going in the river twice and a few times in a pool. Selling because my girlfriend doesn't quite fit. She's 5'8" and can fit without foot rests, but would prefer something a bit bigger. http://s1.postimg.or...

Selling a couple of 'kayaks' on eBay.
It's a shame I'm selling this one... It's a wooden framed kayak dating back to around the 60's. Would make a perfect antique / show piece for a house or pub etc if it gets a little bit of TLC. I simply don't have the space for it right now so I'd like it to go somewhere where it can be mounted on a ...

Re: Another reason why paddles get thrown!!
Sorry to hear about your talus! Sucks big time, especially with no crutches to start off on. I seem to remember it taking me around 5(ish) months before I was able to walk normally but I managed to get back in a boat in 4 months. In hindsight, this was reckless but I couldn't hang on any longer... N...

Re: Longest consistent section of hard whitewater in the UK?
25 mins of terrifying Stikine rapids... Hold onto your hats?
Another one for the Mawddach, anything above a 1.2 from the upper upper, down to the Wen confluence is around g3 and above with pretty much zero flat bits. If your going top speed, that takes at least an hour or more.
Great run...

Finally, a fun UKRGB thread!!! Mawddach and Gain surely take a bit more than 10 mins? Nedd Fechan would be a fun one to try and get a fast time, damn scary drops in there with water, but if you paddled them faff free you would be miles ahead. Can't think of much else, guess Scotland has more than W...

I totally agree with this thread...
Nantmor - paddling through a tree with some water below you for a few miles.

This is my set up at the moment. Got a friend to stitch it on like 8 months ago and its been spot on since. Had a homo knife, fell off pretty quick. I like Hardy's bear claw one too but couldn't find one when I was looking.

Re: Cartwheeling / Stalling Coaching
Cheers for all the pointers!
Chucky, I like what you say about keeping your weight forward even when bringing the bow up, and with winding your body up. Will use those :).
Pretty sure I don't stand up or push off with my feet, think that usually makes people flop back down flat onto their hull?

I'm trying to help a few friends to cartwheel and bow stall - I can do it myself but I can't seem to explain to others how to do it? My current theory is... Stick to one edge around 30-45 deg. Get the bow up high (staying on edge). Push the bow deep whilst throwing your body forward (and staying on ...

Re: Finding it impossible to roll.
This sounds like a silly idea, try to roll without your paddles or hands/arms. You'll end up engaging your hips a lot more. Then give hand rolling a go. If you do learn to hand roll then you can practice all day long using your paddles, if you fail... Just hand roll back up. It might not work but at...

How was your mission down the Upper Cynfal? The whole Cynfal is very gorge walkable but it does need ropes for some sections.

Loads of time. The river splits 50m after the Gobbler then you have around 300m past then to the get out.
