It wasn’t you who sent a message to ask about postage was it? Before I organise had better check!

That's clever!

I hope so! I have this pfd but have yet to get the compressed air cartridge as they couldn't ship it from the States. Apparently is the same as used for bicycle tyres.

H Liz, I'm mainly in the north of England, I can post at cost.

Best of both worlds? https://kokatat.com/product/seao2-pfd-lvusea Unlike any other PFD, the SeaO2 incorporates a 'hidden' flotation chamber within the body of the vest. In an emergency, the PFD's inherent 7.5 lbs. of flotation can be immediately boosted to 22.5 lbs. by releasing the contents of the ...

These are full carbon construction with foam core, lightweight and strong, 210-220 adjustable length, and feather with a lever lock. Super light I think they weigh 625grams. The locking system is significantly better than other makes I could mention - adjusts and separates with ease. A few scuffs a...

Thanks Chris, he did highlight that 13.5% was at fast pace. Having paddled my partners xplore it is clearly less effort than my own boat at a slow speed too but I wouldn’t know by how much, the difference is discernible though.

Thanks Jim, I hadn't thought about really pushing myself so that dawdling feels effortless, tsk! There must be off-water ways I can work on that as well, an equivalent to a rowing machine perhaps? Would be a good activity for these dark nights. I have an unpredictable and nomadic itinerary that mean...

See if you can try a set of VE paddles..... Rog. Which in particular - and would you rate them above others for any reason in particular? Have found Epic relaxed touring carbon blades very comfortable but not terribly powerful. Shuna high angle caused shoulder pain... Time will tell with the Camanos.

Thanks, it sounds pretty ideal other than turning sideways. Definitely going to organise a shot in a demo boat. In the meantime am experimenting with paddle size to see if that helps speed me up. From one extreme to the other I tried Werner Corryvreckans, so much more power but too big, will perseve...

Hi there, does LM denote large/medium size, how old is the suit, any repairs, and does your price include postage? Thanks!

Thank you both for information and kind offer to try your boats. I've found there is a dealer not too far away so a test ride should be possible. Great to have the comparison to Romany and xplore-s stability, this is my main concern. I wonder is it as comforting as the Romany in a following sea? You...

You are far south of me unfortunately, thank you for the offer though.

That’s a kind offer, thank you, where are you located?

If the hull is the same chances are they are indeed really similar to paddle. I agree stability is subjective and also really psychological I find!

Been advised by a credible source that this boat combines stability of Romany and speed/ease of paddling of a much faster boat. Am now curious... being curious can't do any harm, right? If you paddle one (specifically the small size as it seems kayaks vary considerably across sizes despite being the...

I'm a cold person and often get dead fingers, pressure from gloves is sure to cause it and once it sets in I'm pretty ectothermic - like a lizard I have to have an external source of heat to recover. Last Xmas neoprene pogies were a revelation, despite ice on deck on this bitterly cold morning my ha...

You also mention a Greenlander Pro of which there are a couple for sale at the moment. I would love to know how it compares in Aled's analysis. This was my first boat which I had for many years and despite being even more incompetent back then I found it fabulously fast and effortless. I think the N...

I recently asked a kayak designer about relative boat speeds and he gave me a fabulously detailed and technical reply. It highlighted the different resistance of various boat models and the relative effort required to keep them at a particular speed. In summary his answer confirmed what I was findin...

I reckon its sensible to prioritise the smaller version in that case. I don't do many trips and am sure for a weekend the Isel would be sufficient since the Romany is. The Tahe is such a stunning boat. The Romany is quite the opposite and goes over waves with a bounce, I wonder if the Rockpool boats...

My gf weighs 65kg and paddles an Alaw Bach without needing to add extra weight to it. I’m probably at the upper limit for it at 93kg and 5’11”, but I’ve paddled it a few times now, including in some interesting sea conditions and it’s performed perfectly. When the time comes for a camping expeditio...
