Nice Tripper! Loved mine when I was young and could lift it 😄

Yes, I know Charlie and knew Dana a bit. Remember him while he was at Sawyer filming me paddling a Sawyer doing some FS moves for ads but never saw anything from it. They used to travel together a lot and stopped at my house sometimes.

Unfortunately if I remember correctly Dana Grover passed away several years ago. Hope I am not correct but think I am.

Really interesting post Marc. Thank heavens there are such talented and committed individuals as you in our paddling community. Hard to imagine what our sport/hobby/passion would be like if all our tools were mass produced by impersonal corporations.

Sad news but great memories.

Glen is correct. Bureaucracy and insurance were becoming hinderances to the direction the FS committee wanted to go. Insurance was considerably less expensive and easier to implement for individual instructors who were running smaller classes outside the major events. It was quite an ordeal to...

Don’t think it’s foam showing. Looks like the plastic layer before the foam to me but certainly could be epoxy. Don’t think it’s much to worry about. Keep paddlin’!

What a great experience and one your son will remember forever. Thanks for taking us along.

Looks like some very enjoyable paddling! Thanks for posting

Seating position is key…I strive for 60% weight on the seat and 40% on the knees (assuming no aggressive FreeStyle moves). I just deal with the small amount of irritation by extending one leg periodically if full on seating is impractical.

Wow, lots of fall color in September!
