My latest add on to my Klepper Aerius 2 is the KAYAKSAILOR SAIL by Kuvia LLC. It appears to be really made for hard shells but can with a little thought be fitted to any craft. I paddle and sail from the rear seat of the Aerius so i had to make my own design which is simple and cheap or should i say inexpensive. It consists of two cross pieces of wood which are held onto the Klepper coaming with "J" clamps (from klepper), the sail mount is bolted to the front cross piece and the sail cross tube which also holds the KAYAKSAILOR LEE BOARDS is clamped to the rear cross member, i hope the photo helps

Alright Folks,

Against my better judgement and probably at the expense of my job for the video I made with Scott in it (which I encourage you to watch) this is the Gnarly Nub Picture contest. Here's how it works:

Upload a picture of your dry, nubbed, gnarled, pruned, cracked, gross feet (if its from paddling that is) and you can win Free subscriptions, hats, t-shirts, stickers and whatever else I can find lying around the office that might make a good prize. Contest will run until October 31 2011 (to give you time to work on the nubs) and only pics added in this forum or in the comment section of the blog post count. We might use the pics other places though (like on Facebook and have folks judge). As you can tell it's not a super serious contest (just trying to give you guys some free stuff but have fun doing it!) so don't get to worked up if you don't win.

Get Posting your Gnarly Nubs!

So after checking out the cool colour options for the H2O Crystal X paddles www.adventurekayakmag.com/blogs/flotsam-...k-good-doing-it.html

I started thinking - do people actually try and colour coordinate all of their gear? Do you prefer function or fashion?

I'm a function guy myself (and if you see me on the water you'll see that I don't really care how I look...)

Check out this video from the Outdoor Show of the new Delorme/SPOT device. Seems like a pretty good improvement over the last generation. Anyone use one? Anyone going to get one? Anyone who wouldn't get one and why?
