Mine doesn't change much whether the boats on roof or not .Mazda 2 with dagger stratos.

I too use the typhoon in winter. I've kept palm zenith top and dry trouser for summer.

First one going to St David's sea and surf kayak festival. ( seen on Facebook)

I went from basic Skagit to carbon shuna. The difference in swing weight and blade size is dramatic

Replace it with a camel back big bite valve

Don't. I went the other way inflatable to sea kayak. They're a pain to fully dry ( sevylor ) very slow. Poor control

Strap through j bar but secure to roof bar is what I did for precisely the reason you give.

I had some tape from a pair of Orvis waders. Easy repair to feet of a typhoon suit. Warm iron with a tea towel

I use a tg5 .my only ripe is my version of photoshop and lightgroom dont support the raw files

I had one but never used on sea. It got me proficient. Very stable edges easily. Good outfitting. I upgraded to a dagger stratos .it's a different kettle of fish. Twin hatches and deck lines have me confidence in sea and surf.

As far as I'm aware they're making kayaks and issuing them to volunteers who then do further clean ups. http://clevedonmarinelake.co.uk/categor ... d-plastic/
Islanders Fiesta is made in factory from waste from moulding other boats

Analize or analyse ?

Totally agree with above. Got typhoon ps330 drysuit second hand . It's a great piece of equipment as used by RNLI. I find I never bother with my Palm zenith separates now. Typhoon fabric less boil in bag than Palm which can't cope with sweat I find. Now venture out in conditions I would have avoided...

Difficult to say really.if socks too big you'll need bigger shoes as I found out myself. If tight you'll possibly need size up as again you'll need a thermal sock inside . I wear some Palm neoprene socks over drysuit sock as they're very prone to leaks e.g from gravel or stones. I always favour loos...

I got a typhoon drysuit and rate it very highly. Breathability far superior to my Palm cag ( boil in the bag and damp from sweat ) I looked at a lot of reviews and all rated highly.add on the fact that the RNLI use them.

I wouldn't have accepted a credit note. They're archaic. Under the sale of goods act something you buy has to be fit for purpose. A refund or new boat of equal value would be the least I'd expect. Any self respecting company should honour that in my opinion

Sounds like oil canning. Commonly caused by overtightening straps when boat on a roof rack. If mild it can be sorted using hot water on area and it pops out.

I put in bath with grangers hand hot and use a sponge on bad stains . They do a reproofing bottle that doesn't need the heat activation. Dry any latex and leave on a coat hanger over bath to air dry. Worked on Palm cag and Typhoon drysuit

Better than most surveys. Good luck

My sea wolf takes a camelback reservoir no problem. Tube guide on straps

You're right. The gear for sale links used to be more easily found to. Changed a couple of weeks ago

Astral sea wolf. I hardly know mine's on. Clamshell pocket on front is great.

Possibly.

£60.00for lifetime cover seems reasonable to me.

If you need to ask I'd say no. Certainly not alone. Have you considered joining a club to gain experience?

Just use Ben Stokes solicitors and you'll be fine.

Try a few at a club or dealer. It could save you making an expensive mistake. I'm an old fart at 57 with a competitive swimming and lifeguarding background. Got into kayaking late and moved rapidly from sit on to sit in. My first sea trip was frankly quite scary. I'd say go second hand but make it s...

Look out for Mark Rainsley's book on the Thames useful and informative.

Never joined a club . Loads on the river though. Some specialise in racing or slalom others recreational. I'm moving soon to Cotswolds. River Wey and canal are worth doing.

I used a venture flex 11 for exactly what you're doing. Based in Walton on Thames. Pop down to White water canoe centre in Shepperton. You can try boats and have a list of local clubs
