  1. Thanks for posting. Please include me in the thread in case .
  2. Hey Suz! I just left you a message. I can make this happen. The storage unit is only 30 minutes from me. I'll pick up the boats and store them on my kayak trailer. It will be great to see you again. You were such an important part of my journey into sea kayaking! Best, David
  3. I had to replay it in my mind. I'm 99% of the time using both hands with forward lean and some initial slight downward pressure to clear the coaming in one quick motion. Otherwise, you may be inadvertently pulling to the side with the one hand approach and fighting the coaming rim. Definitely worth practicing on dry ground and with a friend upside down.
  4. Barb, I'm planning on the New Years paddle and do have a large you can try.
  5. Barb, My go to has been the Seals line. Generally, P&H cockpit Sizing is 1.4. Seals Sprayskirts - Neoprene Sprayskirts (sealsskirts.com) I've found the Pro Shocker is very durable. They offer sizing options in tunnel girth and at least used to offer both 9" and 6" tunnel height (special order). Seals Sprayskirts - Sizing (sealsskirts.com) Good luck!
  6. For sure! A huge thanks from me personally. I check the site daily and am very grateful for the effort. Thanks all!
  7. Thanks for all the work necessary to make this happen Mike!
