Jim DE Posted March 8, 2002 Report Share Posted March 8, 2002 Looks like the Flats Yak Fling is going to be a major event. I figured we will all be mostly on the water so yak/to name reference might be a better way to know each other. I should have my Mokai present by then if not then I will use my Stealth if it isn't sold by then! I won't be hard to spot either way....I will be the one moving without paddling Have a picture of your yak? Let's see it. OK Tim......what did I do wrong on the uploader? It would not copy to the post I had to type the url in and I can't see the error.....gggrrrrr **Jim - ya can't have any spaces in the name of yer picture - rule number 1 fer posting pictures Hehehee...looking forward to fishin' with you again buddy, it's been a while TimS [This message has been edited by TimS (edited 03-08-2002).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porter Posted March 8, 2002 Report Share Posted March 8, 2002 Doh! No recent pics, so how's 'bout these. On the water, I look like this: This pic is over a year old, and doesn't show a lot of recent modifiaction, including the bait tank I'm building now. I'll try and replace these this weekend w/ some better shots. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted March 8, 2002 Report Share Posted March 8, 2002 I'm usually taking the pics so I don't have one of me in the yak. I'll most likely be in a blue Cobra Tourer. I'll be wearing a very bright orange cap for visibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porter Posted March 9, 2002 Report Share Posted March 9, 2002 JimDE, Yep, that's probably what it would be best for. I came into sea kayaks from whitewater experience and didn't like the look of a touring blade at first. Now I regret it but I don't complain too much 'cause the paddle was practically free. Of course, I'm just putting the finishing touches on a hand carved native paddle in western red cedar which is at the other end of the spectrum. The one you see there will become my spare any day now. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim DE Posted March 9, 2002 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2002 Porter, I was thinking about a larger blade for my Sea Dart. Just to give it a bit more push! I am no kayak expert so what would be the disadvantage in using a larger blade? I'm thinking moving more water would mean less strokes to equal the pull of a touring paddle. I have 3 diffent brand paddles with simular blades but one of them far exceeds the speed of the other two. One of the paddles in the loser catagory is my carbon Werner unfortunately. The best of the three is a carbon/aluminum Harmony Sea Passage (the least expensive of the three paddles). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
