Thanks K A!

Thanks Kelly! It can seem intimidating when you first start. But as you grow into it you learn how to manage the water. Start off easy and give it a try!

That was definitely class three almost four.

Right on Dave!!

Hey Pete, your a liquid logic guy, any thoughts on the Delta V, got one in my sights

Thanks Will!

Me too!!!

Thanks Bill! That is the Kibler Valley run of the Dan River class 2

Thanks Kathy! I am shooting for later this summer!

LOL!! It did sound similar! too funny!

Well, I have the 95. That is 16 gallons larger than my jefe and about a foot longer as well. It is faster, holds a line well and I am getting used to it. I would still prefer my jefe. The extra volume is what I was after for the class 4/5 kayak camping that I intend to do here shortly. The faster boats do well in big water. If water-falling/creeking/low volume stuff etc., the jefe is so forgiving and easy to correct and control. The squirrel comes from boat lineage that is fast and actually once you set the course, it can be hard to change that. Again, exactly what you want in big water, but not in super tight spaces. The jefe is not that fast, so powering through big water holes can be more difficult. It is always a trade off! One thing I do not love about the squirrel are the low chines behind the seat. They lead to a grabby stern in weird water or some high volume side currents. It is something that doesn't do me in, but gives me that not-so-great feeling, then it goes away. I am really used to that already, but wish it was different. Hope that helps! I'll check out that video...

@@RiverKingsKayak im riding a stomper 90 looking forward to tonights video

Rpc3 performance tour

I am 5'6" 165 lbs.

P5 was in his Jackson Sidekick in this video and Guy had his Dagger Nomad.

Thanks again!

Great question Sam! There is nothing wrong with the backstroke. However, in Mike's situation, he paddled so defensively with backstrokes that he would lose all forward momentum and lose control of the boat as the current from the rear would start pushing his stern one way or the other. He was just unable to maintain some forward momentum to control the boat. Backstrokes will always be a vital tool. Just for Mike, it was the majority of strokes he was taking and causing a lot of trouble for him...hope that makes sense.

Thanks mobileradiofitter! Sounds like an ineffective ferry issue. Sometimes, in those situations, you need to point your boat to the opposite shoreline and paddle hard...sometimes pointing upstream depending on how hard the current is pushing...If you have video, I could possibly give more insight...

Our first run was about 2 miles and the second about 3 due to using different takeouts. The second run took less than an hour as we were motoring down the river having a great run. The first run took twice as long due to 4 swims and a bigger group. It is hard to put an average on it really. Hope this helps!

He he he! I didn't start this swim shaming thing! When our group started, an occasional swim would occur during our kayak camping trips. The guys (new kayakers) would beat themselves up over a swim so badly even though I told them it was a part of the fun. It became a thing and has taken on a life of its own. There is no real shame in any of it. Just a fun bit in the videos. The crew nowadays enjoys and most feel it adds to the entertainment. Plus, you only have two choices...roll or swim...

@@RiverKingsKayak Thanks, I'm glad to hear that :-) I was little confused, because you're looks like a professional with lot of skills. Have a great day. Regards Michal

I'm sure that can be applied to many of the paddlers in the vid, who in particular are you referring to? As for the paddle, I recently got P5's paddle used. Not really a blem paddle, but rather a demo inventory item. I got it from 4corners riversports in Colorado.

@@RiverKingsKayak Sorry, it was first paddler, Mr Hatcher?! And thx about paddle info

You can lead a horse to water...

@@RiverKingsKayak One of the instructional kayaking videos I have, said that one should pretend that they are in a vat of molasses; to punch forward with front hand, insert the paddle up to its neck, then unwind your torso as you punch forward with the other hand. He may need to lean by doing, maybe some flatwater racing.
