Aloha,
Does anybody have a used Fusion seat to fit a guy around 5' 10'' tall? Looking to buy a used Fusion but the seat was custom made for a guy that is 6' 4" tall.
Using a Pure canoe paddle, about two months old still brand new. After the first few paddles I started seeing what appears to be sole kind of growth in the resin coating the blade. Does your paddles look like this? Is this normal. There are no Knicks or cracks in the resin coating, but its getting bigger and showing up in more areas. I'm new, and don't know if this is a normal occurance?
Aloha I'm just putting out feelers for any advice or recommendations for OC-1 equipment. Both my daughter and I would best be considered new to OC-1 paddling with different backgrounds. I'm wondering if there is any one OC-1 that we both could learn on with durability, cost, weight, Ala Wai and super easy short ocean runs in mind. My daughter has paddled seats 1-5 in a 6 man and has good cardio & average strength. She's 5-4 & 125 pounds; 14 years old. I'm 47, 5-6, 175 pounds with 6 man canoe, SUP, over 35 years surfing experience; fair cardio.
Is there anyone that does good repair work for OC-1 Canoes on Kauai? I recently scored a great used Tiger Kolea canoe for a steal of a price. However the gelcoat is cracking on both sides of the gunwales and it does seem that it is taking in some water and the area is a little soft.
Mahalo
Since I don't have a rudderless for the rudderless race, which canoe do you think would work best if I take the rudder off? Osprey....Hurricane.....Pegasus?

Myself and a couple buddies want to build an outrigger this off season either a 3,4, or 6 man. Can anybody help with finding plans. We're not looking to build the next best unlimited canoe but just an outrigger to go paddle with friends. I believe we have the know how, we have a retired boat builder, a couple surfboard shapers, and two journeymen carpenters ... but no plans. Any help would be appreciated.
