Good discussion about them on sea kayak U.K. Facebook page.
Everyone seems happy with their handling and quality, I’m yet to see anything negatively criticised.

See post there on 17 dec

Now sorted.

Also known as deck plates

A couple of weeks ago I was walking past a skip at the roadside, and in the skip was a pine table-top. It was clearly amateur constructed from four planks about a foot wide and three-quarters of an inch thick. It was just under 8 feet long and four feet wide. I found the guy who had junked the tabl...

Wiers can be a very dangerous place and can look deceptively benign. Please be careful

If your gonna cruise up and down I’d advise a touring kayak, like a second hand dagger Charleston, Easkey 15 or a Carolina. But before you buy anything I’d strongly advise you learn how to paddle, wet exit, and self rescue, ideally, through a Local club Of the two kayaks you listed the first will pr...

How are you doing this ? Paired catchment modelling ? How are you going to calibrate your model and what hydrometric data are your model inputs ? Accurate Prediction of level or flow is not easy and can be subject to very significant sources of error, eg level can be higher or lower for a given rain...

Love my AnasAcuta

And for all who couldn’t stay awake when this was live;

Starts in earnest at about 7mins 30

Docs proplugs AS watersports Exeter amazon etc. It’s really important to get the right size and to fit them correctly as they are sided and shaped to fit. The tiny vent in them allows you to hear ok but self seals in the water. I had ear problems until I started using these when practicing rolling

Looking for a Playful handling composite day boat, I’m 68kg 5,10 so something fairly low volume. What’s out there ?

(Details location and price please )


Thanks.

If you’re after some coaching there is probably a club nearby, or you can contact a coach like nick cunliffe at kayak essentials, based at Menai bridge. Also take a look at plas y brennin courses

Topical;

In Franco Ferreros book sea kayak navigation He uses a planner to plan and communicate info to a group it’s a good checklist to make sure nothing is missed. See page 103. It’s a good book. https://www.pesdapress.com/index.php/product/sea-kayak-navigation/ I think a photo of that planner might breach...

. Do you pay much attention to knots and grain direction or, especially for a first attempt, do you just accept what is given? For a paddle made of one piece; Generally you are looking for few knots especially in the central loom section, straight grain that runs along the length of the board witho...

£50 for an oval full rubber hatch and £35 for a “click on” version : is the full rubber version better? it’s probably fIddlier to put on to the rim. Considering adding one to a kayak with a tiny Henderson TCL4 hatch at the moment (Rear deck is totally flat) Ill use methacrylate adhesive unless there...

Rhino have a removable load assist bar compatible with aero and square bars, nobody seems to stock it though. Note, if you don’t want to drill a hole in a square bar (quite hard steel) just use a 90degree shelf bracket clamped on using 2 jubilee clips and cover the bracket in foam and duck tape so i...

Looks like it would be good on square bars not sure about the brackets compatibility for aero bars. wooden plank zip tied to the roof bar or raised roof rails can achieve the same. If using cradles like j bars etc you can get a bit “creative” My solution aka bodge.. using j bars was to slide in a sp...
