Ehhhhhh.... Article: "according to resort owners and others who have discussed the issue with Canadian border officials." The actual order appears to continue to exempt foodstuffs brought for personal use. The usual limits on alcohol and tobacco still apply...

Thank you!

Does anyone on the board paddle a StarFire? Willing to share your experience? Bill suggested it at Canoecopia when we were discussing the DF15 being just a touch on the small side.

West systems is great. I've used Total Boat (Jamestown Distributors) for all three of my repair orders. I use 4oz or 6oz cloth. There are some great threads on here for walking through repairs. Hemlock would probably also help you out if you give them a ring.

I will be "racing" my 17yo son on every paddling stint, I am sure.. 😄 No real races, though they seem interesting and fun.

Follow the label directions on your product. I've had it go both ways. The one good thing to come out of nearly destroying my composite Supernova is that I have been able to gain a little bit of experience with repairs of varying severity.

If you really, really want to do something with it, you can cut a fillet along each leg and fill with epoxy. Wet sand and polish. It's a pain though, and if you nick the fabric it fuzzes up and looks even worse. Speaking of worse: 😁😁

Hmm, interesting. Still related to a possible 3M change, or is this two separate issues?

I dunno, I really like the innegra weave look. It definitely looks better in person though. Pictures remove a lot of the visual depth. The "primer gray" is carbon weave that is not translating at all through the camera. In the flesh, Swifts were easily the best finished boats at the show...

Just dropping a pic in here. It was a fine looking craft, indeed. Still too small for me, but there was hint about a larger tripping boat coming later this year. Sounded like another upsize of the "Dragonfly" , but might have referred to the prospector 15. In any case, I was bummed that the D15...

As I told the reps, I'm glad Wenonah is bringing some newer tech to their boats. Their colors look nice, and have good saturation/hue. The interior finish on the Innegra is quite smooth, which will help with cleaning and hinder traction. The darker skin really showed the rivet pinch of the...

Yes. Any specific inquiries?

I talked to Cassandra Vore (Red Leaf Designs) about the 3M-backed snaps yesterday at the show. They no longer recommend them as they have experienced a degradation in adhesive effectiveness. Cassandra told me that they believe 3M implemented a formulary change, which has reduced adhesion to...

We, uh, came away with different experiences. Probably because I reject the underlying premise, which necessarily makes the rest of the presentation somewhat moot. I did agree with the idea that cultural norms are sometimes antithetical to choosing to participate in certain activities. The...

What's the reasoning for no meat? Does she not want it in the house? I'm not taking shots either way, it's just kinda cryptic and might influence responses. Dehydrating your own meals (with meat) will require meat in the house. The easiest to prepare are freeze-dried meals. I prefer Peak...

I got to see it in person at Canoecopia today. These are not small duffels. The two together are easily bigger than my CCS Guide or Battle Lake Grand. I like being the idea of being able to separate gear. Bedding and clothes in one, tents and tarps in the other. Plus load splitting in a solo...

I'm clearly in the minority, but I will probably purchase one of these. I'm thinking of some uses outside of the ad copy, but we shall see. I've certainly paid more for other let downs.

The Trapper is a very stable boat. You will have a lot of fun in it!

Whitewater Gear Sale and North American Canoe Trader groups on FB are probably your best best for locating one quickly. I hate to steer anyone anywhere but here, but the classifieds don't get as much traffic as I wish they did.

@Pseudonym Hahahah, beat me by *that* much... 😄
