    Anyone been to Bog River Flow this season?

    I've been reading what I could find on this lately, but trying to get a better idea. I understand it's now a 2.5 mile carry or wheel to access for the year. Wondering if parking is an issue, or anything other FYI's to be aware of. Thinking if had head out after the holiday Monday, there should...

    Clamp-On Yoke Pads, $20.00

    Going with a different portage style, no longer using these pads. As seen, I doubled up the foam padding, this can be trimmed down to your liking with a sharp, thin blade. $20 for the pads; shipping will be extra. I'll need a zip code to give a shipping cost estimate. Thanks for looking.

    Malecite, '93, Kevlar, $600

    Up for sale is this classic Mad River Malecite. I'm the 2nd owner, have stored it in the shed for the 8 years or so I've had it, kept the gunnels oiled, 303'd periodically. Looks like it was used a lot, but not abused, before I bought it from the original owner. Lots of fading, scratches, and...

    Straight shaft carbon paddle?

    I have searched a good bit, and find only one offering for a straight shaft carbon fiber paddle (5 or 7 degrees not desired); believe it was a Werner, and they are entirely unavailable. I'm quite fond of my Sunburn Gillis, but the lure of a featherweight carbon has been growing. What options am...

    Rack options for a fiberglass truck cap?

    Just picked up a nice flat roof fiberglass truck cap for my Tacoma, and will definitely want a rack for it. I've searched the topic a bit and see that some people prefer one rack mounted on the cab, and the other on the cap; but for the moment I'm thinking both crossbars on the cap. Looks like...

    Removing glued in pads... suggestions

    I glued in some pads with Wildwood contact cement, which went well, but... I'm finding I'd really like more coverage than the pads I cut. I can patch in a couple more pieces to do that, but would prefer to take these off and glue in two larger pieces (I like to leave a channel in the middle for...

    What oil to use on a bare paddle shaft?

    I have grown to be a little annoyed by the friction I feel on my varnished paddle shafts. My Sanborn has an oiled grip, but varnished shaft. I've gone ahead and sanded the shaft down to bare wood, leaving 6" or so of the blade end varnished. went to the local hardware store intending to pick up...

    Looking for some paddle insights

    With a new solo (Trillium), I'm realizing that it's time to try a lightweight, wood, straight shaft for my touring and fledgling freestyle paddle. Have been using a sweet old "Sea-1" from Curtis Canoes in the '80's; It's pretty light (guesstimating 21 oz?) , nicely contoured palm grip, with a 5...

    Magic for sale (edited from trade)

    Very nice condition, nothing more that some typical light scratches, and a small bit of clear coat that peeled off at the seam in the layup, which I've covered with epoxy for good measure. Raised the seat a few inches so I can paddle both sitting and kneeling. Adjustable foot brace. Starlite...

    Glad to be here

    Greetings, all, from northern Vermont. Just found this place recently, and I'm liking it. Mostly paddle solo, day trips, here in Vermont, and over in the Adirondacks (my previous home for 20 years). Had a long layoff from paddling when I moved over here, and was limited paddling with a partner...
