I dub thee "Luke Skywalker". And that is a most excellent "wave speeder"!

JeffB · 02-07-2013, 06:33 PM

That thing is tight! I have never seen one of those before. Shoot, for $75 I would say got a hell of a deal some.

Since it is a rowboat with catamaran stylings, you will face the stern with your back to the target. I like it!

Hah! The jury is still out on that one. That's the reason I went out the first time when it was 0-1 at The Shores. Honestly, it did grab an edge for a second coming in, but I was able to straighten her out. I'm thinking it could get sporty anything over 3, so I'm going to stick with 0-3 for my days. I'm hoping having two oars to work with will help keep it straight, kinda like white water rafting style. Another option will be making a "landing drogue" if it becomes an issue.

We'll see, hopefully not too many yard sales......

I think superman landings might be best when the surf is larger.

flytuber4 · 02-08-2013, 03:48 PM

A friend of mine has been looking for a hull of one of those for awhile. If anyone knows where to get another cheap leme know please

mtnbykr2 · 02-08-2013, 05:33 PM

that is one sweet ride right there, and look what can be done with a little imagination and "get er doneness?" welcome to the, well I don't even have to say it..."the addiction"

MotoHero · 02-08-2013, 07:46 PM

With all that leverage you can generate I was wondering if a larger paddle would be in order. Maybe a cupped version or something to minimize any slip.

Looks very cool, kinda like an Edsel but still cool,

sandsquirt · 02-09-2013, 08:47 AM

That thing would be sweet with a Mirage Drive and be able to move the seat fore and aft.

PESCAHOLIC · 02-11-2013, 05:05 AM

If paddling backwards isn't your thing. I had a similar catamaran that I used as my fishing kayak. With the right length paddle you should be able to sit facing forward...Check out some of my old posts for reference.

TJones · 02-11-2013, 06:37 AM

are you missing a zero? can it hold yourself and any passengers? if so, that good bring many priceless memories with your children .
