Thank's. Yes, I live in Albufeira. I'm working but I have some spare time in the mornings between Christmas and New Years Eve. I can show you some nice local trails
@silvajorst Ah, that's brilliant you are lucky to live with such surrounding beauty that you can ride, We are looking to move to portugal very soon as family we love the place, I will be free between the 2nd & the 8th of January if any of these dates work with you i would very much appreciate you showing me around but if this doesnt work for you im sure i will be back out soon & would be greatfull for you to show me some trails 🤘🏽 Appreciate the reply 🙂
I have the v1 version. Love it more than my friends v2. Anyone moaning or worried about the stability. Have some gumption. Stay focused and you’ll find your skill level improving quickly in this kayak! you’ll have reflexes like a cat if your practicing enough
Thanks Jorge, tried this self rescue method today and worked first time wirh ease. Was worried about venturing far from the coast as was unable to re enter the kayak and has to swim to shore. Thanks 👍
The President of France predicts a third world war. Meanwhile, the French Decathlon is doing business in Russia. Decathlon pays taxes in Russia. Let's not allow a nuclear apocalypse! Do not buy Itiwit from Decathlon!
Hi Jorge. Thank you for the video and comments. I am thinking of getting the Itiwit X500, however I am not sure about stability. I do not own a kayak. I have used sit on tops numerous times and in addition have used a sea going sit in with a skirt a couple of times and it was okay. I would want to use the kayak in creeks or close to the shore. Is the Itiwit stable enough for me?
Hi Mark. In terms of stability it behaves like some sea kayaks. Because of the V shaped keel, secondary is better than primary stability. That means better stability on motion. It needs some practice to get used to it but, unlike the rigid ones, you can shape the bottom flatter with lower pression to make it more stable on your first attempts.
@@silvajorst Hi Jorge. Thank you for getting back to me. I'm looking for a good IK and I haven't seen anything better yet. I Just need to decide if I can afford it.
"O Karoo Street é um bom pneu. Perfil redondo, inclina bem e tem boa aderência a curvar em estrada, é confortável e não é demasiado ruidoso" Peça para alguém traduzir para português do Brasil.
@@silvajorst não precisa de tradução,só que não entendi nada desse vídeo, você deu um rolezinho com os pneus da marca citada, e não fez nenhum comentário, assim entendo quando um Motociclista faz um vídeo referente a certo assunto da motoca, que nos interessa enquanto Motociclista, penso que devemos fazer algum comentário a respeito daquele assunto em líder,no seu caso, os pneus, que por acaso vou compra os mesmos dos seus, mas lembrando que por causa de outros vídeos mais dinâmico, sobre o mesmo pneus. Entenda irmão, que foi só uma " crítica construtiva" a minha intenção, jamais será de monospresa o seu vídeo, muito pelo contrário, deu um joinha . Abraços fraterno.
Resistente. Tem 2 anos e muitas saídas e sem sinais de desgaste. Muito pratico em termos de transporte e arrumação. Tenho 2 rígidos e acabo por levar este na maioria das vezes.
@@silvajorst e em termos de velocidade e manobrabilidade? É atirado para fora de curso com facilidade ou até resiste? Estou a namora-lo há uns tempos mas como nunca experimentei nenhum tenho resistido...estou abituando só aos rígidos sit on top
@@joaotfs353 Bem rápido para um insuflável. Faz-se bem médias acima dos 6km/h. Mais rápido p.ex que o meu Ocean Kayak Prowler 13. Consegue-se manter bem o rumo mesmo com algum vento lateral. Com 3.8m é bastante manobravel e anda-se bem em espaços apertados. O baixo peso ajuda quando é preciso trava-lo ou acelerar para vencer a corrente. A maior desvantagem é ser muito difícil fazer a esquimotagem por ser um bocado mole na zona de apoio dos joelhos e por causa do centro de gravidade um pouco mais alto. Por outro lado é bem mais confortável (para mim) que um sit-in clássico, por permitir mudar a posição das pernas
I tipped mine for the first time in a fast moving river a few days ago. I was thankful for bringing some paracord to moor the kayak while I rescued it. For me the hardest part by far was righting the kayak when filled with water. Lessons learned for next time: don't securely tie a heavy dry bag to the top of the deck, use the paddle float as leverage to right the kayak, if the air temp is 6 degrees C, expect the water temp to be close to freezing!
Looks like waaayy to much faffing around to me. I'm getting a plastic tourer and will learn to roll both ways and to haul myself back on with the deck lines.
Thanks for making this video, I have purchased the same kayak and ordered a paddle float, seeing this gives me confidence that I can do the same 👍 happy paddling
Hi. I am interested to know how stable you find this kayak. I am a beginner to intermediate user. I've used sit-on tops many times and sit-ins with a skirt a few times and it was okay - borrowed a friend. The Itiwit is not cheap and I'd hate to find it too unstable. How are you finding it?
With some practice you can do it much faster. This was only the second time I did it this way. I also wanted to show slowly the different steps. Thanks for your comment.
It is a bit more unstable than sit on top rigid kayaks, but for calm waters and no wind it just takes a little bit of practice. I would recommend you buy the floater and practice this technique shown on the video as well, near the shore. But overall it is a good kayak
To kayak at the sea is necessary to have some practice and knowledge of the local sea conditions (wind, tide, waves and current) or go with a local guide. About learning how to handle a kayak, it´s not to difficult. Principally if it is a stable Sit-on-Top kayak.
Hello Jorge, I am searching some information about this river, Is there any water in December? Can I rent equipment somewhere around? Which parts of the river is suitable for kajak/kanot paddling?
I own this bike. I have been riding it all year for nearly 4 years. It Climbs and descends great. The rear shock has been replaced twice and repaired once however and I don't jump it for the most part. I contacted specialized and they don't make the shock that hooks up to the brain for it anymore. So when the shock croaks no more brain. Might sell and upgrade to newer bike.
I check out Craigslist from time to time, and have had my eye on one of these. A 2010 Elite just popped up for a very fair price, but your comments about Specialized no longer have parts (shock and brain) alarm me. I suspect, given its age, that the bike will need a little attention. If the brain and/or the shock need replaced in the future, what does that do to the bike - I mean, is it then pretty much worthless?Thanks in advance for your help, anyone. I want to be buying something that could potentially, in the very near future, be an albatross around my neck.
Just perfect.It´s a do it all bike and it goes up and down very well. I´ve switched to a S-works Stumpjumper FSR also 2009, just for a up-grade to my favorite kind of bike.
Começámos em Lagoa, passámos por Porches, descemos o vale que vai dar á praia do Barranco, metemos para Oeste em direcção a Albandeira, novamente Lagoa, Pedreira do Manuel Rodrigues (a Este das Fontes de Estombar), Mata Mouros e Silves.
Obrigado, eu conheço bem a serra de Silves, mas não estou a ver a zona do inicio do filme, parece-se ser para os lados das fontes, mas não tenho a certeza.
