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.

Re: A green Shrike?
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...

Re: Kayak type
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...

Re: Ear plugs
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

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

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.

Re: Greenland Paddle Makers??
. 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.

Rhino have a removable load assist bar compatible with aero and square bars, nobody seems to stock it though.

Re: Anyone used a RUK Load Assist?
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.
