Considering it's been twenty years this year, figured we'd post this old video one more (and last) time:
Solo (2004)
Running Time: 34min. (Approx.)
Only regret is that we wish "the Yo" would have been runnin' a bit higher level - between 4ft to 6ft OPG (Ohiopyle Gauge) - best level for open boating (our opinion, at least back then). Oh well - ya' take what ya' get.
Tribute to 'Strongman Matt':
Some local creekin'
---------------
After blowing the seams out of two (bit old and well used) inflatable SUP's a few weeks back, then having to persevere a two and one-half mile rocky swim totin' 'em each back to dry dock (muscle girl Sarah and ZMan have both definitely developed "It don't have to be fun to be fun" attitudes), we figured it was time for a few replacements:
Picked up two ultra-lite boards from NRS
Pretty nice on the flatwater.
Bit of a rockered bow and stern make 'em more responsive when negotiating a few Class I+ shoals and small drops encountered along the usual backyard run.
At 16.5lbs weight (each) they're a bit easier on the shoulders when backpacked (along with all other gear) two to five miles between the various launch sites.
Our only suggestion is that NRS look into stitchin' waist belts on to their SUP packs. In the mean time, we're discussing that upgrade with a local seamstress we know - we're thinkin' a few belt loops for some buckled 2" nylon webbing.
