underinflated floor to track faster

Mountain Buzz · Colorado, Western US and everywhere else · 09-14-2015 at 23:25

Blue Tarp over kayak hull???

Mountain Buzz · Colorado, Western US and everywhere else · 09-14-2015 at 23:25

It would add some sun protection. But, that too will fade and break down over time.

Composite Raft Frame

Mountain Buzz · Colorado, Western US and everywhere else · 09-14-2015 at 22:47

major benefits of a composite frame would be weight savings. People with a big 18ft raft are probably accessing a river with a good put-in or ramp...

12v Bilge Pump on Bucket Boat

Mountain Buzz · Colorado, Western US and everywhere else · 09-14-2015 at 20:42

Blue Tarp over kayak hull???

Mountain Buzz · Colorado, Western US and everywhere else · 09-14-2015 at 20:10

I heard someone say he was going to put something called blue Tarp on the hull of an old RPM. What would this do? Does it protect the hull in any...

2015 NFSP Roberts Tunnel flows

Mountain Buzz · Colorado, Western US and everywhere else · 09-14-2015 at 20:07

Talked to Denver Water today. They think that they will bump up the tunnel later on this week by around 50 cfs +/-. That would put about 200 total...

Luna sandals?

Mountain Buzz · Colorado, Western US and everywhere else · 09-14-2015 at 18:15

That thong style toe is worse than just leaving the toes open- it doesn't control the front of the sole very well and you can trip more easily on...

Luna sandals?

Mountain Buzz · Colorado, Western US and everywhere else · 09-14-2015 at 17:28

New Scadden raft a big disappointment

Mountain Buzz · Colorado, Western US and everywhere else · 09-14-2015 at 17:22

I just realized that when you said "paddleboard floor" you probably mean paddleboard as in "Stand-up paddleboard" and therefore must mean drop stitch...

Luna sandals?

Mountain Buzz · Colorado, Western US and everywhere else · 09-14-2015 at 17:04

The ones I am looking at are Leadville Pacers. They are $85, though I agree that is way more than they should cost. Chinese Chacos cost more than...
