    Recommendations for River Touring Canoe Courses?

    What a great report! Many thanks for it. (y) It reminds me of the canoeing course I recently did in Switzerland ... how happy and satisfied I was after the weekend. Similar to both of you. And I can see it very clearly ... if the ears weren't in between - you could just gin in circles. ;)...

    Hello from Pittsburgh!

    Hello @Kharrick then this "canoe virus" has caught you too. It's not so bad, many people have it and cope well with it. ;) Regarding your question about information on how and what to do with children in a canoe, I can recommend Jim Braid's YouTube channel. He and his wife do a lot of tours...

    Old Town Discovery damage repair

    By PE canoes Yes, the areas to be glued must first be treated with a blue flame - just so that it does not get warm or even hot so that the epoxy can stick to it. This changes the chemical composition of the PE surface. Otherwise you won't get anything to stick to the PE surface. Even a...

    Old Town Discovery damage repair

    I would fill the sanded areas on the bow and stern floor with epoxy, roughly shape them after drying and then apply these skid plates ... also fill the scratches on the side with epoxy and then smooth them out. That should be no problem. . . . . . . . finish . . . regards...

    enjoy a nice relaxing day at Lake Constance

    yes indeed ... in the light green area the water was about 1 meter deep. In the dark area, on the other hand, the water was around 80 meters deep. Thanks to the crystal-clear water that this beautiful effect of the "flying Wilma" was possible.

    enjoy a nice relaxing day at Lake Constance

    After I finished the basic canoeing course in Switzerland, I met up with a friend for a day at Lake Constance to enjoy a nice relaxing day. Best weather in absolute calm and mirror-smooth conditions and crystal clear water, it wasn't particularly difficult. Here are some impressions of the day...

    Hauling Two Canoes When Thule Hates You

    It's not a truck - but the squared timber (4x6cm) works! I tied the squared timbers to the existing roof beams with narrow straps. Zip ties should also work. However, I would then use two zip ties crossing over each other at each fixing point. . . . . . or fixed to a trailer with hose...

    Canoe basic course on the river "Thur" (Switzerland)

    @Jmharrick Yes, if this is only half as good for you as mine was ... then you can both look forward to it now. It's simply brilliant to have a trainer who tells you exactly what to do and shows you how to do it. Without stress and without pressure. As he will always be at your side, it will be...
