Skeg Tips

Hi Lance, As Mark mentioned, try to make sure there's no mechanical jam up before being assertive with the cable. The other thing to dry is flushing the cable, it's possible salt has built up, dried and bound the cable somewhat. This is my 5th season with my Tempest 170 and I've had pretty good luck...

Hi Peg, Our paddling sensei Mark called my Tempest 170 a "ROLLING MACHINE", when he tried my boat! He then quickly sold his Surge for a much more agile sea machine. I have no doubt you will love the way your boat rolls. If we have some good weather, I'm sure there will be no shortage of people or th...

Hi Gang, From the lack of enthusiasm, I gather it's still too early in the season for most to venture into Kiwanee this evening. Let's try this again on Thursday the 31st. Cheers, Jordan PS. Bear in mind, Kiwanee is still much warmer than the ocean most of you have already been paddling.

Based on Pat's Assesment of water temp, I should think cold water attire is appropriate, as well as a changing stall with a door that locks LOL :lol:

I believe the temperature will be in the low to mid 60's.

We can try to help with everything, including wrestling with the 60lb plastic beast (and winning). The cool part about paddling in a group is usually the loading back up is only half the effort as we usually have a buddy to get on the other end of the boat .
