Uh oh, ocpaddler finally got spammed. And man did we get spammed bad. You should actually read the stuff, its pretty funny. I got all excited when I read "digital rectal exam."
i was just wondering if there are some outrigger canoe in south africa. I can't find nothing on the web, i mean it's incredible, so many surfski races and no outrigger?? Ciao ciao from Italy.
For quite sometime there has been but one choice for purchasing an outrigger. Perhaps its the best way, but that is not the point of this post. My question is, if you had an opportunity to rent, lease, or finance an outrigger, would you pay $150/mo? $200/mo? $250/mo? $300? What would be a comfortable monthly payment for those who cannot afford to plunk down $4000?

You have 3500.00 in your pocket and are ready to buy a new boat. What is more important, The weight of the canoe? Or the Quality? From a performance standpoint I think we can leave the "my boat is best" out of this argumant. No boat is best, The paddler makes the boat. So having said that I am curious how much stock we put into the weight of the canoes, Some builders are making very light boats that require you to be extra careful with the boat to keep from dinging them, or having structural issues. Others are building a boat that will last many more years. In a sport that has no financial incentives, is having the lightest boat possible really that important? Where do we draw the line between going as fast as possible, and having quality products?
