Aspiring to Be A Freestyle Playboater
It's official: I'm gonna be a freestyle playboater. Yesterday was a pool session at Boiling Springs High School and we stopped at Blue Mountain Outfitters (the aboslute best kayak outfitter in Central Pennsylvania IMHO) to pick up a playboat to demo and I was sold after the first couple rolls. It's a Wavesport Project X 48. My other boat, the Jackson Allstar, is also an all-out playboat but a little too big for me to play in. The weight range for the Allstar is 130-200 and the weight range for the Project X is 100-170 - a much better fit and feel. Rick's happy too because he can now also play since the Allstar will be a perfect fit for him. The first move to learn is the bow stall. Of course Rick has tons of videos I can watch to learn. Now I can't wait for roll sessions. Woohoo!
